How would we know that they learned? More importantly, how would female tennis players who have to work with this guy be assured of equitable treatment under his aegis going forward?

Good. I read his comments yesterday and, aside from thinking he had a ridiculously over-inflated sense of the cultural importance of men’s tennis, I thought his visual of all these women getting on their knees (to pray.... ri-iiiiiight) was the most telling thing.

The innuendo usually comes courtesy of Mary Berry who doesn’t realise what she’s saying is mildly, gently filthy and it’s charming and glorious. It is the most joyous programme. Everyone is genuinely lovely and nice to each other and friends with one another. It’s the cure to the nastiness and fake drama on reality TV.

The Great British Bakeoff is amazing. I’ve been binging it all week, watching Series 6. The only season on Netflix is PBS season 1, UK series 5, and the next season to come to Netflix will be PBS season 2, UK series 4 (weird, right?). So I’m watching all the ones around that so that I can binge on Netflix properly…

Okay so there are SOME things that would kill it for me.

What if he wanted to wear a Ted Cruz mask during sex and he insisted you stare at it the whole time?

Not sure anything could make me not want to sleep with Oscar Isaac.

He could endorse Trump and I'd still hit that.

I also liked them in secret. Despite their popularity, they were considered extremely lame where I lived too.

you are correct. i totally forgot. shit! also, good point— she’s not going to be on the show if she’s above all of those shenanigans.

I mean, that’s terrible, but there’s no reason to apply that characterization to every woman on the planet.

Was the maddest when she was talking to her husband like “idk they say I’m strong? And that they can’t handle it?” Nah trick you’re just super brash and abrasive and we’re all over it

Hasn’t our culture also promoted “flirting” in the workplace, too though, for a long time? Movies, TV, etc.?

Then I must be a horrible human being because after I looked through the article to make sure she was still alive. I laughed. Hard. And then forwarded the article to several people.

Maybe I am a terrible person, because I still finds this hilarious.

It reminds me of an episode of Joss Whedon’s The Dollhouse, which has as its premise the idea that people can be rendered as “blanks” and then have any personality/skill set wished by a client downloaded into them. (It’s sci-fi, obviously.)

Here are two sources you might find interesting. I haven’t read all the way through them yet, but they’re more on the educational side. Apparently, just bleeding out all over your clothes has been a far more popular solution throughout history than I would have guessed:

Kind of like the American girl series for periods. I think I’d chose the 17th century Parisian doll.

I love this. Unexpectedly, I think I love her too? I’ve never watched her show, I won’t buy her app, but I get THIS. I wish I felt as comfortable and confident in my skin as she seems to. I admire her willingness to be herself, no matter what. Sure, she’s silly and ridiculous, but she’s got some serious hustle and she…

But it’s California. Nobody in California is racist. Racism only happens in the South and Flyover Country?
