Even if she's right that more and more women would choose not to marry if they don't have financial incentive to do so, maybe it's ok that women make the choice not to marry themselves in a situation that, by their own calculation, disadvantages them!

No more excuses, folks.

They rattle to warn you. It's like they don't WANT to bite you. What can this be but provocation?

Keep it coming. More info from someone who knows can't be a bad thing.

Funnier than the last, I think you mean?

This sounds like a nightmare!!!!

R E P L I E D !

I am not into making excuses for people, but is it possible that he's worked so hard at defending his own existence that maybe he stopped learning about others? This happens in other areas of concern, notably race (from experience). Not asking you to give the definitive answer on him, just wondering your thoughts.

Oy vey. That's heavy. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the basics, way far from an understanding of this. Needs time, definitely seems messy. I know nothing about the Union of Islamic Courts. Speaking of mundane, email me, if you want, at mundanaclover at gmail dot com.

Fuck. Just when you think you know what the world is, something else gets you.

Alright. I don't like reality tv as a category, and didn't even know about this show. Shame on me, perhaps. That said, I am stunned to hear that this is coming from RuPaul. Am I out of line in thinking he should know better?

Re email, I'm thinking about how to do it safely. If it doesn't occur to me by the time I reach the end of the post, I'll figure something out and get back to you.

The main thing I understand about Israelis, any Israelis, is that they'd prefer not to be bombed or shot up. Culturally speaking, they like to live.

Please elaborate? I don't want to misinterpret. Your "Yah right!" is throwing me off. I want to add that I think there is a big difference between academic and journalistic writing on this, and that I hold academics to a higher standard. I've met academics, or "academics," who write about Israel and who have never…

In my experience, and I have actual experience in this, I only hear the argument in Toronto/GTA. There are an awful lot of Israelis and Jews who are both pro-Israeli, pro-Palestinian, and for whom pinkwashing is something made-up by anti-semites. To make this an either-or issue is more of a Toronto thing, and I think…

Show me a country without complicated scenarios. Take the wins where you can, aim your criticism where you feel you should. I'm not an expert in this, but knowing what I do, I think homonationalism is too simplistic. That's where I'm at in my thought process, anyway. (I'm not going to nail myself to this opinion.)

Excellent point.

I WISH more people would talk about this. Enter Israel.

You're right! Looks like Hugo Boss.

What part is Nazi imagery? I want to know.
