This is awesome. And apropos to my evening. Went through the tunnel to Jersey for my brother's bday and on the way back to the Hoboken PATH to drop me off we started discussion Hoboken rents and Manhattan wages, when my bro mentions an article that appeared in an NYC paper about how women in the city earn on average…

No, I would gain significant amusement from that, too. It was awesome to be offended two-fold, first as a feminist by the content of that screed and second, as a fellow English major, by every last poorly-constructed sentence.

I do not understand graffiti or the appeal of Banksy, which makes me feel like a crotchety old lady screaming at the kids to get off her lawn....

But not all couples operate on chemistry/heat. Think of Sex and the City- I think SJP and Chris Noth burned my TV set down every time they were in a scene together. Carrie and Aiden, not so much... and I think that speaks well to different types of relationships rather than a casting mismatch....

That episode was phenomenal. I watched it twice last night, back to back, laughing and crying, sometimes at the same moment. Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion....

Yes, me too. Last two days, not little red number notification, but if I go to my Profile and responses, there are comments....

Yes, and also: I no longer get the little red number telling me I have a response anymore.

"Blaine? His name is Blaine? That's a major appliance not a name!"

My reaction to Kristin Wiig as young Lucille....

I see your point, but I also don't see a complete problem with it. Unilever is not operating a non-profit. It exists to sell products, and trying to find what their consumer wants and cater to them by product is a good thing. Axe may be horrific to some, but the argument against it is cultural; I don't personally…

Okay, yes, but I would also pay good money for the above! :)

When I was young (read: in HS 20 years ago- ugh I am old :) it was Cool Water that made my nosegasm!

You found me out! Damn, you are good! Patriarchy and I go together like peanut butter and chicken... I mean chocolate. +1 BTW.

Amen. Or have the autonomy as sighted people do to choose their visible presence. So I guess by this article's standards blind women should just go grey, let their wrinkles take over, never apply makeup, never put any thoughts into their presentation and just in general not care about their physical manifestation?…

But why? Those products have very different target consumers, and why is it wrong for a company to figure out who those consumers are and find ways to make and market products that appeal to them? You know Unilever owns a ton of brands, right? Like Lean Cuisine, Hellman's, Lipton and more, and of course they are all…

I actually worked on the Unilever Real Beauty campaign in 2004 as a consumer market research liaison, and Dove as a brand and Unilever as a company listen SO hard to their consumers, then and today. So much of their marketing is driven by research into what women of all stripes want from brands, with evident desire to…

Broadway wins this round. I am SO in to see this in 2014. Saw the stage production in '90 in NYC and '09 in London, and own the original cast recording with the sublime Colm Wilkinson. Love every second of the music and adored the movie for its fearless cine-maging of the story. Just please, 2014 production, please…

Without having read the book, and only this article about it, I do wonder idly: did he write about any male artists having a "decidedly independent streak"? So many times women, especially young women, are not expected to come to a table of male execs in meetings such as those with a strong voice of their own. I…
