Now if the US and Canada would follow their lead. It is perfectly legal here for underage teens to marry older men if they have parental permission.

Have you ever seen the dolls that this artist creates?

I didn’t catch that, but other sites are reporting the same:

Also, in the interest of stopping witch hunts, police have cleared Marilou Danley of any connection to the shootings.

In case anyone hasn’t thrown up yet from horror, this should do it::

I agree that burqas can be symptoms of patriarchy, even when women choose to wear them of their own free will. However, banning it won’t solve the root issues of this, it will only force the women who do wear them to remain segregated and in their homes.

Everything in my post was sarcasm.

This makes so much sense, though. The way to stop religious communities from enforcing rules on how women dress is to have governments pass laws enforcing how women dress.

Hats are awesome. As a pale-skinned moleperson who can’t go near sunlight, I have built up a collection of about a dozen hats that I wear any time I go outside. It’s funny how often other women tell me they love my hat and wish they could wear one, but don’t think they would look good in them. Just start wearing…

Really? You don’t know how much savings she has, if she’s the sole income-earner in the house, if she is requesting any social benefits, or anything else about her situation, and you immediately want her to start selling her possessions?

I do most of my cooking for the week on Sunday, so I usually have different leftovers for both lunch and dinner throughout the week. For example, I’ll make a big pot of vegetarian pasta and a roast chicken with veggies, then have chicken with veggies on Mon-Tues lunch, leftover pasta for dinners those nights, chicken…

Would Cateau Meowmont work?

I think it’s a human thing.

It’s not a Hollywood movie, but you should watch the Korean movie “The Handmaiden”.

Looking back, one of the unintentionally saddest things my mother ever told me was not to read romance novels because they’ll only result in my (presumably married) sex life being disappointing in comparison.

As someone who is so bad at recognizing faces that I have introduced myself to the same person twice in 5 minutes, I’ve perfected the art of greeting people in a manner that is 100% unclear (to them) if I know them or not. Usually the resulting conversation includes a clue as to where/if I met them.
