I dismissed your comment so that my answer wouldn't show (just in case anyone I know ever reads things here). It's Judith.

Do you have a link to that by any chance? I'd love to send that to my mother.

I couldn't believe my mother last week. She's always been one to insist women be able to support themselves and never depend on anyone, but she still has incredible hang-ups. I was talking to my 14 year old niece about school, and when she said that she was bad at math I told her that one thing I've learned as an…

I'm so glad my parents picked a classic yet not-common name for me. No one thinks my name is unusual, yet I never run into other people of the same age with my name.

Thanks. It seems you can get jumped on pretty quickly here for saying anything negative about anything. But I did need to agree that I'm not an expert in Pakistan history.

While we're making assumptions, you may be interested in knowing that I'm not American. I didn't intend to say anything about Pakistan as a whole. The fact is, she was already almost killed once. As I wrote to another poster, I acknowledge that she has accomplished more than I likely ever will, and I look forward…

So I've got an excuse for being a zombie in the mornings when I get less than 8 hours of sleep. It's not me, it's the molecular garbage build up that growled at you.

I'm totally prepared to admit that I'm not an expert, and I apologize if my ignorance led to anything offensive. My concern stems from the fact that she has already experienced one assassination attempt. She is a role model for all women everywhere, and I look forward to seeing what she can accomplish.

That's what I was thinking too, as I wrote it. I agree that the comment sounds racist, but it's the unfortunate reality of Pakistan right now.

After reading her book and my knowledge of current events from the past year, fairly well. Politicians with views that are against the status quo have a habit of dying. Read about Benazir Bhutto, Shahbaz Bhatti, and Imran Khan Mohmand (plus others).

I read the book cover to cover last night. The life this girl has led is insane. I had no idea how amazing she actually was, and what she'd already accomplished. I imagined her going back to Pakistan someday, and being assassinated (unless things change radically, that is the most likely scenario), and actually…

The strength of some people shames me. Last night I read "I am Malala" (about Malala Yousafzai), and now I see this. If I was caught up in her situation, I'm not sure I'd be able to do much besides keep quiet and cry at night.

I didn't, to be honest. I never really dated much, or ever thought I would want to be in a serious relationship. I couldn't imagine liking anyone enough to want to have them invade my personal space (total introvert here). Then I started working with a guy, and got to be great friends with him over a couple of…

Considering the original article used the term 'dead baby', I'm not sure why it was changed to 'fetus' here. It's heartbreaking either way.

The original article used the phrase 'dead baby'- Jezebel changed it to fetus. I've got a feeling that it may have been past the viable stage, and that the autopsy will be to determine if she miscarried, or gave birth and then killed it.

10 million seems decent for a bra that's actually moulded from your body.

I did- it referenced the fact that writing letters was considered to be the job of a secretary. I don't mean to imply that she was a servant, just that her acceptance into the family seemed sadly incomplete.

I called my mother out on that a while ago (thanks to Jezebel for opening my eyes, since I grew up believing that crap!). She's always after her granddaughters to "sit like a lady", "act like a lady", etc. I took her aside once and mentioned how just by saying that in front of everyone, she's telling all the young…

I married the first man I ever dated seriously. Not sure if I really missed that much.
