Well, we really don't know what Brad and Jen talked about, or said to each other, or promised each other, or decided or didn't decide and at what point. And it sounds as if she's moved on. I haven't heard either one of them really bad-mouthing the other; it seems like the media has taken care of that for both of them.…

Are we sure there isn't some clause in there saying it's okay to abort if the fetus is female? 'Cause it seems like that would be a logical extension of the thought process behind this bill.

Lately, I've been seeing ads about prostate cancer. They say something like "Let's make sure the men we love get tested". It's got a blue background and I think a picture of a man's tie and then this one statement.

How on earth are we supposed to know what she felt or thought about the Evangelista debacle?

I don't think either one of them is anything special.

I'd rather we blame actual homewreckers for homewrecking, ie. the people who cheat on their partners. In the case of Aniston/Pitt/Jolie, that would be Pitt. I'm sick of everyone holding women responsible for men's behaviour. The entire Aniston/Pitt/Jolie debacle was framed either in terms of Jolie being a homewrecking…

Whoa. Watching that, I've just realized that I've never heard Marilyn utter a single word before, with the exception of her performance of "Happy Birthday" for JFK.

So true. There's like this tiny window in which a woman is attractive enough to exist but not too attractive as to be seen as nothing but attractive. And even then, everyone will comment on her looks.

Did Marilyn speak with the accent Williams seems to be using in the film?

I don't think admiring an elite athlete's physique or even striving for it is a negative thing. Their bodies are amazing. And it's not the same thing as saying I think Salma Hayek's body is amazing. These bodies are the product of a lifetime of dedication and hard work. What we're admiring is their strength,…

Maybe she's ambivalent and means exactly what she said, ie. not using birth control and seeing what happens: "if it's meant to be, it's meant to be". I know plenty of women Aniston's age who would welcome a child if it happens but aren't prepared to go the IVF etc route. They're not using birth control because they…

I've never bought Essence, but I think I'll be purchasing this issue.

Can't really vote if you can't get to the polls.

I agree that it's extremely unlikely. I was trying to come up with possible reasons why a person might kidnap a child, and that was one of them (among estranged family members or someone desperate to have a child or someone who wants to keep the child and groom him/her for some sick purpose). There have been cases in…

If this is a literal question, I think babies are most often kidnapped by an estranged family member. After that, I suppose it would be some sicko who wants to sell the child (I'm sure there is a premium on white children), either for sexual/slave/cult purposes or simply to make money off a desperate family who might…

Thanks. Much appreciated!

I got the point of your post, that your older female relatives have said it's selfish to have children over a certain age and that it's not just something that younger women might think. I also got that you think it's great for women to wait until they're older to become parents. I actually enjoyed your post. Which…

Nobody relates well to teenagers!

Well, I wouldn't call it "discrimination" and I can only speak from my own experiences, but people do tend to think there's something wrong with you if you're single. Especially if you're single in your late thirties. And if you insist that you're single by choice, they don't buy it. They'll tell you that you've just…

I don't know what other people think, but I do. I've been in a few short term relationships. But I always feel like I lose myself, like I lose control over my life, like I'm not who I want to be anymore, and that makes me really unhappy. This is why I choose to be stay single.
