Yes! It’s a use it or lose it situation. That’s why it’s pretty common for women to be over 35 and have a baby but much less common for that to be the first baby.

This is also not his field, but his rationalization of what these women were forced to do is right in line with slavery apologists saying that Blacks had a better life here in the cotton fields than they had while in Africa and therefore should be thankful for the plantation owners’ generosity.

People need to get over this idea that going to or teaching at a place like Harvard means you’re a great all around person. I’ve known several people that went there, and their common personality trait was that they were extremely self-absorbed. This worked in their favor in that they were able to single-mindedly…

Not to add fuel to the fire, but it’s also sad reading some of the comments throwing around Harry’s paternity and positing that he’s not even Charles’s son so who cares if his old man never sees him again? Which of course brings out the Diana bashers, with the inevitable conclusion that it’s all Meghan’s fault.…

In the follow up this morning, Harry made it clear that the skin color remark did not come from either of his grandparents.

One more because Twitter is expressing it better than I ever could.....

I understand what Harrison’s going for here, but it sure does sound like he’s putting the onus on the Black community to teach him about racism.

Why?

I remember when my father caught me writing in my journal when I was 14. He said “Son, remember that the purpose of a journal is not to record your thoughts, but to record what you want others to believe your thoughts to be.  That way when someone snoops you still win.”

French Bulldogs have become a highly sought-after, expensive breed. It’s not unusual to see breeders selling French Bulldog puppies for $5,000-$10,000. So crooks know if they steal a French Bulldog, they can probably flip it for a couple thousand bucks on Craigslist. A few weeks ago something similar happened to a…

I came here to say the same thing. It’s so hard to move past it. Obv. the graphics department and editors have never seen one in real life and I’m obv. too old for this website apparently.

Yep, this. In fact, I’ve always argued that Joss’s work got markedly worse, both in its craftsmanship and its representation of women, when people stopped treating him as a skilled artisan who wrote well-constructed stories about the sort of women who interested him and started lauding him as this Genius Artiste…

For many, he was an example of what more equitable storytelling might look like, a model for how to create compelling women protagonists who were also very, very fun to watch.

You just don’t understand art

I love your comment about the absolute paradigm shift of the Internet in providing those alternative advocacy voices (at least before it was controlled by 2 to 3 companies).

I remember the 90s, in suburban Southern California. This book and the movie were both juggernauts in their day.

Yes, I was definitely postulating new testament theory in my sarcastic Jezebel comment.

Oh, no! Now her kids will never learn all of those important ethics and principles only the Catholics can teach...
