Jebus. I saw better dancing than that in my hometown in 1970s Pennsatucky.

I don't get it. I just don't get it. I've tried. He's attractive. He's fine at acting, but the Tiger Beat love of this guy is inexplicable to me. He's the Donny Osmond of current-day British acting.

Well, for years, the fear kept me awake every month. But, usually, my husband and the cats just climbed into the trees.

I feel more than a "pang," Bill. More than a pang for "these women" who are human to me.
I also read the article and know that smart Nepalese people are working to change this practice.
And I know what "culture" is, Bill. I also know what it means to have a period.

Fabulous! Right down to the gif!

I didn't think of that, but you may be right.

Yes. And we can try to change both.

Yes. We do. And you know what? What boring, smug Canadians lecture the US about healthcare, they also KNOW BETTER. When you know better, you teach. If you don't teach, you don't care.

But, obviously, we do. We KNOW better than to isolate women during their periods. It's absurd to say that it isn't better to not treat menstruating women like filthy monsters who can harm others through touch.
It's completely right to try to change this practice. To not try is to imply that the women in those cultures…

It's not "imperialist" to care about the lives of people in other countries.

You just have a list of excuses not to help people. Yes, we do have a lot of work to do in the US. A lot.
But most of us have enough energy and compassion to care about women in Nepal and in the US. It IS appropriate to condemn practices that harm and marginalized any group.
I can be concerned about menstruating women…

You know the rules: At Gawker, if you don't firmly believe that every other country and culture is infinitely superior to the US, you are a gun toting, flag waving tea bagger.

Here ya go, cutie pie:

Not so. You're mildly, if unintentionally, entertaining in your defense of a vapid, silly woman. I've made that clear. That's what I meant to do. Now, I'm done. Goodbye.

I find you hilarious, and that does make me smile. So in a way, yes, it does make me feel better.

We just don't know how to love her.

Are you her? Or her sister? Or her publicist?

Incomplete list, as there is no Zolpidem. That 30 minutes of euphoria before sweet, sweet slumber is not to be despised.

That was perfect. I hope as many people as possible read it! 100 stars!

We'll have to agree to disagree. I do, however, appreciate your reasoned response.
I have not experienced much ageism. I am just above 50, and if anything, feel better than I did in my 40s.
I think part of my reaction is based on how skewed media is in its assessment of what "happens" to women as they age because it's…
