Yeah—I do science editing and medical studies tend to use "female" and "male" to describe subjects. It's not inappropriate, but even there, I prefer to change it to "women" and "men," out of respect for these patients, whose lives are (or were) tough enough without the indignity of being described in the literature…

You do realize that in the unlikely event that Hickabee and Beyonce ever ran against each other for president, by the time Election Day rolled around, Huckabee would be sobbing his way through a concession speech before the polls even opened.

That's one of the two things about this story that just floor me. Feminized? Feminized? When in living memory was the RC Church especially butch? It's not as if there was some point when the priests all nipped out for a cattle drive, or to raise the flag on Iwo Jima, or save Daria and Jane, or some other manly…
