That this decision was made by a female editor proves that women and men are much alike, deep down. It's still wrong to keep women out of opportunities, but it's naive to think tht women will save the world if only we get control. We need feminisim because it's wrong to prevent anyone from realizing their potential,…

I liked it but found it too long. And the plot line was confusing, to say the least. But the acting was pretty good and the visuals were spectacular, so overall, a thumbs up. Apparently the 'science' was not to be trusted, according to everything I've read, so I wouldn't regard it as a short course on quantum physics.…

The "problematic" link in the story points to an article that mentions her. Good article: http://thegrio.com/2014/11/12/kim…

I went there for the first time last year, and it is amazing. I was surprised to find world-class things there, and in amazing variety. Such a cool history:

I have a friend who has both a witch and a judge in her ancestry. Fascinating.

Toujour gai, Archy.

I LOVE THIS TREND!

The local shopping center is closer. Did you use mapquest?

I'm planning a trip there now.

I understand and support the effort to turn the spotlight on rape culture. It's real and a terrible problem. I also think that even after we make advances in reducing and stigmatizing the attitudes that lead to rape culture, rapists will still exist.
