Thank you! I demand answers!

I totally agree. But I am a historian, so I am biased. Not the least of which because I would always rather procrastinate on Jez than grade papers, and it feels more justified when it's posts like these.

"women on women" in a society that was utterly, oppressively , patriarchal. It didn't happen in a vacuum! It was the one way that women were getting a modicum of attention or power. Not to mention all the judges involved who allowed "spectral evidence" and sentenced folks to execution were, duh, men. The real problem…

I think the only people around here still peeved at taylor swift are members of the Jezebel staff

You could alternatively go to the pub, have a pint and wait for it all to blow over.

Wow. Apologies for being the 40yr indie rock father of two but having never actually knowingly heard either of these two tracks I can honestly say that I love this, whatever it is. Please, anyone, make me some mix tapes. You all seem to have your thumb on the pulse.

Ahem. Her corpse was dug up, and chunklets of it were sold, including her skull, AND it is being reported that her body is likely to have been well-preserved? How exactly does that work? I know I'm stuck in the greys, and it's unlikely that anyone is going to even read this, but I still want that explained. :P

Adultarooar where are you?

This is a great post. You know what I wish? I wish there were more posts on Jez that dealt with things of historical and scientific feminist-related interest, like this one. I recall a few, but not too many. Websites like Cracked are proof to me that the natural and social sciences can actually make for good…

The QI researchers sometimes get things wrong and have to issue corrections, so this might not be entirely right, but they reckon about 75% of all English witch trials ended in acquittal:

YES! My husband is 4 inches shorter than me. That has not hindered his ability to earn a living, make decisions or be sexy. I'm picking a life-mate, not livestock.

I like that my man is roughly the same size as me (5'7"). I've always liked smaller men. I think they're sexy.

Ha! Yeah. But you know if he was like, a little pudgy or something, she'd be complaining about that too. Some people only know how to complain, even when they have it relatively good.

I was kinda of wondering that myself.

He is so beta, he won't make any decisions or plans or take responsibility for anything. I find myself longing for an alpha man.

I think the telling bit is where he tells her that when he tries to lead, she doesn't follow. She is the alpha she's been looking for all along.

My take on the situation: Lady, you married him and knew what you were getting into. Very little sympathy from me.

I can't believe people still want this stereotypical relationship. If that was the case, I wouldn't be cooking or ever cleaning because that's the "woman's job".
