Yeah "jury of your peers" doesn't mean "jury of law school students."

You are not supposed to bring your already-acquired knowledge of the law into the jury room with you.

Also missing: the point of the books.

At a heavy metal festival this weekend (which I was volunteering at), there was the highest number of women in attendance in the 5 years the festival has been running. Girls and guys talking about metal, camping, drinking beer. One of the headlining bands took every opportunity between numbers to make various…

Amateur Internet sociology time!

These discussions highlight for me why these hobby-based identities are so troublesome in the first place. They become identities that people wrap around themselves like security blankets, and God forbid anyone else try to share in that identity if they challenge someone's notions.

It's not a fashion trend.

Sorry, but no. If you say you're a geek, you're a geek - no qualifiers.

I cannot understand why more men don't carry bags. (I am a woman, and I call mine a bag, because that's what it is, and it's large and not remotely fancy, and I hate the word "purse.") It's the height of utility. I'm sick of having my male friends make me carry their shit like a fucking pack animal just because I'm…

As a man I love my murse. It allows me to take my iPad mini, 3Ds, allergy medicine, and aspirin everywhere I go without cramping my pockets up.

ya know, thinking about it, I think that Kate's always had short non-manicured nails. Well, at least not painted in color. Which is probably a good idea to have short nails when caring for a wiggly newborn.

When the aid asked Catherine if she was worried that Prince William might find her less attractive if she let herself become the natural weight of woman post-birth she was reported to say "Who cares? They need a second child from me. Next time, give me a lover with hair on his head."

Friends of the Duchess said that…

The Duchess was then seen donning sweatpants and settling in for an "Orange is the New Black" binge watch.

"... pre-pregnancy svelte figure."

"Fuck it," Catherine Of Cambridge, was heard to say to a trusted aid, "I've given them the heir. Now give me all the bon bons in the land if they want a spare."

Me too! I love historical romance novels but always felt left out. This is awesome!!

True! I've always loved costume dramas, but I hated the fact that, as a woman of color, it was not going to be me in the Vietnamese silk dress with hip buckets and a wateau back (I really like 18th century French courtwear). Also, I NEED to figure out how they styled her hair, so I can wear mine that way forever.

Fuck this. Why does Lena Dunham and "Girls" have to make a stand on the depiction of POC in media? There are so many shows out there that don't have significant roles for POC's yet Girls' failure to do so deserves constant media attention? I'm not saying that its right, but tons of shows on television don't include…

I'm so disappointed in all the articles complaining about Girls being too white. As a comedian, writer and performer, and a big fan of Lena's, I think everyone writing articles about how the show isn't diverse enough needs to realize it is up to the artist to tell the story she wants to tell. So maybe she was friends…

"Why we need to keep talking about the White Girls on Girls": Because it's page view bait.
