Good article, Libby, I enjoyed it and agree with a lot of what you said. I'm 36 and I don't want children and it's disappointing to not see that reflected in popular culture. And whenever it is, the woman always ends up bitter and lonely and realizes she should have had children because life without children is an

She isn't saying feminists can't have children. Like you said, feminism is about choice and the author is lamenting the lack of female characters on TV choosing NOT to have children.

I wouldn't at all say it's rare in real life. I work in a department with 9 other women. 5 are married. One of those married couples decided not to have kids, didn't want them. Of the 5 non-married 3 of us have decided we don't want to have kids. And it's quite disappointing to never see that reflected in a main

THANK you, I was about to say the same thing. To me, it's the "just" in that sentence that supports what the author was saying. And I feel like the author actually made that point when she said "Everything in Leslie Knope’s life to this point proved that she was more
than capable of handling anything that crossed

Yup, silly me. Well, I've learned something about the TI today.

Apparently. And now I know!

yup, noticed that one, too.

The "sharp, funny Faking It"? Did you guys forget you gave this show a C- just a few days ago?

Thank you! I agree. Everyone keeps saying that April got shafted and she could have gone SO far (if that's true, then why didn't she?) and I just don't see what they're seeing. Yes, I believe she had potential but not to the extent as everyone else here, apparently. Literally every week there are people here still

Whoa, whoa, whoa, I LOVE Joslyn too but she did not looking stunning this week. Wig and makeup were lovely, yes, but that outfit made me shudder. I like that she tried to get out of her comfort zone but she went WAY too far in the other direction and was covered up completely from head to toe in the most matronly

There are many many comments below discussing this issue, I suggest you take a look downward. My comment wasn't meant to discuss whether they're right to get rid of She-Mail or not, just remarking that in Canada we didn't get the edited version.

Wait….they actually cut out the She-Mail words and graphics last night? I'm in Canada, watching on Out TV and it was still there for us. My roommate and I were surprised because we'd heard it was being cut and when it wasn't we just figured they didn't have time to edit it out before last night. And now I see

Hmmm…well, will you really be a different person in a month, no matter what number your age is? I don't exactly remember when I stopped sleeping with a stuffed animal. I feel like I might have been 25.

Ha! I was just going to post that! Jeez, Bon Appetit, if you're going to do something, do it right, no matter how silly it is.

Actually, for me, I've liked this season overall and thought it's been a good effort to get back to form—I didn't expect perfection like season 2, as after the gas leak year and Dan Harmon being away, it can be difficult to get back into the swing.

I wondered that too! That black card is only a good perk if what Jay S said below actually happens and footlongs end up costing $100. Although, really, considering that here in Canada a footlong Subway Melt costs around $8, that card really could save you a lot of money.

Hey, I actually did too at 23! My problem is that she called them 'stuffies' like a 5 year old, and said she "can't sleep without them." To me, that's what took it too far and made her seem like an actual child instead of a still-maturing young woman.

D. Did not like this. Felt like season 4. I seriously wondered if Dan Harmon took a break for an episode and left the season 4 crew to make this one.

Seriously. Annie's this smart, capable woman and it's like whenever they want to show that 23 still is quite young they go WAY too young. I hated that at the end of the tag on this season's D & D episode she asks Abed if he's done playing because "I can't sleep without my stuffies." ….a 23 year old girl…not only

I did love Darienne's look of "sweet lord, I'm sorry I asked" as Laganja went on and on and on.
