Exactly! I was a bit miffed while reading the article when Cimorene was framed as being anti-woman. Part of her role as assistant to the King of Dragons was cooking and housework! Skills that she went out of her way to learn when she was being stifled as a princess. Plus Alianora is a very typically ‘useless female’…

My mom made rabbit curry on Easter every year, and my dad decided to tell all the kids that we ate rabbit because he always forgot to buy a ham so he had to set out traps for the Easter Bunny, and that’s what we were eating. They hired a new one every year, and we should be extra grateful for our baskets because we…

I think they meant not a newcomer. 

The number of my cousins with the middle name Jane (my grandmother) is ridiculous. Also, my brother and I have the same middle name, though mine is the feminine version, and we’re not anywhere close to royal! Families that follow old fashioned naming traditions have absolutely no problem with repeated names. In fact,…

This movie is f’in gold. Plus, she’s good at her job, and in the end she ends up with the guy who wants who to keep her career!

Oh yeah, for sure no argument about Wilder’s books. They were racist as fuck.

I feel like this sort of argument can be made of any historical fashion, though. Also, it doesn’t take into account that the ‘settler’ style dress and skirt are also staples of many traditional Native American tribes’ clothing.

This wasn’t to me, but it’s a pretty great story anyway. My mother is a grinch. She just hates Christmas with an unreasonable vitriol. She basically spends all of November and December looking for reasons to cancel it. When my little brother was about nine or ten the rest of us older kids were being shitty, I guess,…

Is no one else going to mention that they also just got a new CEO in August? Who is gay? Like... maybe the two things are connected? Just... seems like a pretty obvious connection to me.

As a woman, I love making people uncomfortable by blatantly extending my hand into the progress of their attempted hugs. Either stop, or you’re going to get a knife hand to the sternum. Especially after they’ve just shaken hands with a man I happen to be with.

So... everyone else ships Cameron and Bash, right? Not just me?

Has anyone here had the guts to watch Christian Mingle: The Movie? It’s on Netflix and a part of me wants to down a bottle of wine and watch in horror, but I may need a little encouragement.

But it’s based on a costume drama! How could they take away the costume part of the drama! I’ve been upset about this all day.

Every Easter my family has rabbit curry. It’s so f’in delicious. However, there was a point in my childhood that someone confronted my parents about how horrific this tradition was, and instead of changing it, my dad decided it would be funny to tell all of his children that we needed to be extra grateful for our…

To be fair, that’s pretty much due to Gerrymandering the shit out of NC. Before they redid the districts it was about 50/50 blue and red.

I think it would be interesting to know how many of the women using long term birth control already have children. Something like an IUD or contraceptive sterilization is more likely to be suggested by a doctor if you’ve already got three kids and don’t want any more, perhaps that has something to do with it?

It’s not. It’s just not even a thing that we think about. I never had curtains growing up, because what’s the point of windows if you can’t see out of them? As a result, I can’t have curtains if I don’t want to spiral into a horrible depression. I’ve heard many people say the same. It’s claustrophobic.

Same. The problem for me is when I have lived in places where I couldn’t see outside, I got depressed as hell. Blinds and curtains literally make me depressed. It has nothing to do with people seeing in, it’s everything to do with being able to see out. If I have my windows covered, I feel trapped.

Because he doesn’t use the word asexual, just admits that he was faking his deal with Izzy for her blood, and that he doesn’t experience ‘those feelings.’

I really appreciate how, in the sequel, they show that he’s a big ol’ misogynist dick and she ends up dumping him.
