That would be a fucking amazing feat at this point.

It's kind of convoluted. The reference was from a discussion that 2-3 women of colour were having will Jill Filipovic (the editor that put an interview with Hugo on Feministe in 2011).

They're horrible. It's funny when friends come to the city for the first time and they see Grassmarket or Rose Street during the day and sometimes they want to go back there to drink at night. I try telling them that they're full of really tacky stag and hen 'dos on the weekends but they never believe me - until we…

Haha, yeah it sounds like we do! It's pretty much the academic ghetto here. I'm still boggled by how these people can afford to rush off to Spain when I have to keep politely begging off, but such is life.

We seem to be going to completely opposite weddings! I've never been to a wedding in the UK with a fully open bar (usually some wine and/or beer is provided, but that's it). And destination hen and stag parties are all the rage - I can't walk down the streets of Edinburgh without bumping into one. And one of my…

Yeah, my one fear is that she could be one of those characters that fans love and then the writers give them more screen time and it gets spoiled. But like you say, they've handled her pretty well so far so bring it on!

Seriously, M*A*S*H is a great film and all, but I think a lot of my love comes from the combination of Elliot Gould and Donald Sutherland. Sardonic, sexy and both with great voices - that movie makes me swoon!

Good point. Definitely a no-win situation!

I was so coming here to say that! I would have a huge laugh about it.

Yeah, not that I'm the arbiter of sexy or anything, but I'm a woman who is attracted to other women and I find soft very sexy.

I think she looks great in both pics - apart from her expression in the ad. I can't believe they didn't have a better pic than that.

Yeah, I don't know what CannedPam's problem is, but I would think that most people understand living with parents or returning to live at home. Especially in your circumstances!

Very true! I love cooked tomatoes, and I can deal with very ripe grape or cherry tomatoes in a nice salad, but otherwise when people talk about actually liking raw tomatoes I make this face

That seems like a pretty good, low-key way to deal with it. I grew up eating a pretty big variety of foods and was never very picky, probably because my parents never made a big deal out of new foods or making me eat my vegetables. My grandmother tried to make me eat tomatoes for years, with threats and bribes and…

I'm an archaeologist, so this is only very roughly in my wheel house, but from my undergrad anthro days I remember there being quite a few researchers looking into social culture among animals (mostly but not exclusively primates). There are many arguments about how exactly we should define culture, but the consensus…

Thank you for this very clear and reasoned comment. My knee-jerk reaction was absolutely "A PLEA BARGAIN FFS?!?!???!!??!!?", but as soon as people started pointing out that the victims would have to testify I realised how selfish my outrage was. Not to mention what a media circus the trial would be...

I think it's ridiculous that men are expected to carry everything in pockets. Bags are so useful! Though I'm with fortheloveofbeets - why we need to call them purses or murses is beyond me.

Ha, this is my favourite comment today! Brilliant.

I don't think that you and I will ever agree on this, but I'm going to try to pick through some of your arguments to explain why we'll never agree.

Wait, so a woman who meets you at a con and is on the defensive because she's been harassed all weekend should be good-natured when you pull this shit on her as well? The same works in pretty much any setting - women have been told for YEARS that we don't belong in geekdom and gaming, but she's supposed to put up with…
