Yeah. I was thinking also that if a depiction from that perspective doesn't match your personal experiences, it's fine to ask, "does that really happen? do people like that exist?" It's a good conversation to have. But not, you know, a feature.

This a show called 'Girls'. It's centered around girls. What do we get for a review? Two men complaining the guys are two-dimensional and that they could never ever ever imagine that these things happen, because of their own experience. I'M FACEPALMING SO HARD NOW.

Is it me, or is 'trying to have it all' as if it's a bad thing never applied to men?

There are different degrees of rape and sexual assault in the eyes of the law.

What are traditional Norse names, by the way? I'm curious. Are they German in origin as opposed to Roman?

The low lands do it, as well as France, though the names are usually hyphenated. In Catholic regions they tend to put 'Marie' somewhere in it - I think behind a male name and before a female one. And if there's an M in an initial somewhere, it's usually the last and it's commonly Marie, for boys and girls both.

Pronounce my sister's otherwise pretty name a bit differently and it's a boys' name. And it rhymes with the ruder term for female genitalia and a slew of other curse words.

Or - as I was just reminded - the minus five years Rachel Griffiths had over Johnny Depp.

The youngest of seven, no less.

I cheered her when she said that. Peggy opened up to her about her life, but when have we ever seen Joan do that, especially at the office? The only time I remember her sharing some of her troubles was in the scene with Lane in the first episode this season. It was a tiny bit of intimacy that, I hope, signals Joan at…

I briefly wondered whether Abe cooked it himself. They were trying so hard.

Sally: to wear that dress and the boots.

Not to mention the fault in reasoning if you see unequal pay as a necessary by-product of marriage - not even kids.

I think it's always been like this. But cooking was one of the first household chores to break out of the 'women's work' bonds, so it's become a lot more visible.

This is interesting. I do wonder, though, what Castellanos meant by 'if you take out the marriage factor'?

Great point.

I wasn't sure they were in existence, so thanks! I just know that the average bra completely changed from what I used to wear as a teen. The average bra nowadays always seems to have a) underwiring and b) padding. A) is great, b) should stop. Now.

All right, all right, you got me there.

And Britain is not in the eurozone, which is even more of a big deal these days, what with the euro crisis and all.

I was coming here too to whip this out again.
