Most of the women you named got famous years or decades ago. I know when I listen to country radio (a somewhat guilty pleasure) the station plays maybe 1 female artist to every 8 or 9 men. I even went to their website to verify this, since they have their playlist of what’s playing fully listed there, and it is much,…

Yeah we really ONLY do stockings on Christmas morning anymore, plus some token <$30 gift for Christmas Eve.

We do Christmas stockings with my sisters family. We used to pretend they were from Santa, but now everyone puts a little something in each other’s stockings.

From the time I see them back in stores, until they’re out of season, I buy tons of clementines every year.  I take a couple with me to work with lunch, and like to have them with breakfast on the weekends.  So good!  And if you pre-peel, and separate the segments, they’re excellent road trip snacks.

My family is not Christian so we don’t do stockings, but when I go to spend Christmas at the bf’s with his family, that is pretty much what’s in the stockings and it’s awesome. My bf told me when they were kids their parents used to sneak into their rooms on Christmas eve and put the stockings in their arms while the…

All this for my kids ...+ PEZ dispensers,   Slim Jim’s & chocolate coins. Every year...god help me if I forgot. Until my daughter was 25. Sent my son stuffed stockings in Afghanistan X3 deployments. Only stopped when he got outta the army& his new wife took over the tradition. And now I miss stuffing the stockings.…

my sisters and i are all over 25 now but we rioted when our parents said they were gonna stop doing stockings. because this is what they put in them:

Girl, I eat five or six a day. I’d eat more if I could get to the store more often.

My mom (who grew up during the Depression/WWII era) used to always put oranges in our stockings. We always thought that was stupid and lame. But now I realize she wasn’t doing it for us. She was doing it because when she was a girl oranges at Christmas were special and amazing. I’m glad she ignored us and kept putting…

counterpoint: the best stocking stuffer is those chocolate orange things. Citrus *and* chocolate.

I ate two clementines today. Four yesterday. That is too many but citrus is so good at this time of year. I don’t like socks. 

But I think movie audiences tend to have a stronger aversion to violence against puppies than to a woman who attacked (or possibly participated in the planning of an attack on) another woman.

You know who is promoting women in science? Actual women in science are promoting women in science. Ivanka hasn’t done s#!t. “Be Best”, indeed. If that is her best, maybe she should have done something else.  That applies to The First Lady and Melania as well.

I like a good sympathetic backstory for villains, but it’s hard to imagine being able to engender sympathy for the most notorious puppy killer.

“It’s unclear how impactful her role is...”

Or like anything that suggests there is more to her.

You can practically hear it :

Exactly. What’s the payoff here? We know she grows up to still want to kill dogs for their fur. It’s not like there a change-of-heart twist at the end. Is it?

OK, I’m going to have to call a halt here: Cruella de Vil is not Asian!

Where does the line get placed on this though? Do we not eat female plants? What about those awkward branches that don’t fit between plants and animals?
