Am I the only one that this has actually happened to? I admit, I'm a total bookworm. My last boyfriend had all these impressive books on his shelf and it took me over a year before I realized he hadn't read any of them.

@nex0s: I wondered the same thing. When did interview suits go out? I get it if you're in a more "creative" industry, but for the rest of us? Duh.

@maggeimerc: In agreement. I think that by expecting too much we set ourselves up for inevitable disappointment. It's time to start getting realistic. No matter how much you like a candidate, they will never be what you want them to be.

@Jamie Sommers: I so agree. I understood lots of people liked the movie, but I definitely couldn't understand any idealism of Holly Golightly. I would HATE her in real life. Let's just look at the pretty pictures and not watch the movie again.

The suicide is irrelevant. Look at the charges. This isn't emotional distress. The charges are computer based, it's about falsely portraying yourself.

Dear Jezebel,

I doubt any 8-year-old is capable of really understanding this kind of thing. I'm guessing they charged the kid with murder because they would have charged an adult with murder under the same circumstances. I've defended young children of crimes before, and I don't see any real intent involved until they're at least…

So, I admit that I watch the show. It's almost a masochistic thing now because I dislike so much of it. Meredith has always been an annoying character. Izzy is a mostly useless dishrag. Yang and Bailey, once the best chicks on the show, are increasingly being boxed in instead of getting rounded out as characters. …

@JulesNoctambule: I thought the same thing. The consequences of the law are absolutely absurd. Using IVF for a couple trying to have a baby could result in multiple acts of manslaughter every time the procedure doesn't work. Will the doctors be charged as accessories?

I find Jezebel has a tendency to get a little quick on the trigger when it comes to sensitive legal issues. We don't even know what the motion is! How can we say they should throw it out? Come on, girls, let's be calm and thoughtful here, especially with something this important.

Wow, Sadie, I think we may have lived the same first fifteen years. The blonde is the only thing I miss about that time.

Yes, you do have to love our justice system. Where everyone, no matter how despicable, gets the same rights.

@rollergirl76: Wow, now that I see that I feel like an idiot for not noticing. Perfect reference.

@PilgrimSoul: I thought the rape was the result of her NOT following the rules, if anything. Her guy is turned off by her as the sexually aggressive one, which is her rule-breaking and most truthful persona. Instead he has to take her back in a way by making her completely submissive.

Had to think hard and go through a lot of recent reads to find some good examples. The first and best example I could think of was Manil Suri's great female-narrated novel released recently called The Age of Shiva.

@Princess Leela: I thought that was possible, too. But before you do a weird writing exercise like that, you need to make sure you actually write well enough to pull it off.

@rednrowdy: Yeah, my constant thought reading the article was that she seemed to think a bathroom stall scrawl was a legitimate declaration of love. Despite the fact that she has a kid and interacts with them regularly she seems to have no understanding of what it means to "heart" a boy.

@TheOtherJen: Yeah, I've been on this "diet" for months now. Mostly because I prefer a banana to something else like cereal. Not helping so much.

I'm guessing one explanation may be that a girl's gotta wipe down there every time she's in the restroom. A guy doesn't. You've got to be careful in that area, you can't just throw some heavy duty soap down there or you're asking for a nasty infection. Natural feminine hazard.

I tend to think that while men won't read everything women do, women read virtually everything men do. I know plenty of women who read sci-fi or fantasy, which is often thought of as a male-dominated genre. Women read Tom Clancy and other tech-heavy man-writers. I think it's men who tend to hold back more and stick…
