-Spinach salad with a light rice cake crouton crumble, 3 raspberries and a squeeze of lemon

Thanks for your second paragraph—I find it endlessly irritating when commentators state that "feminism is choices" as if that ends discussion, and as if that is even remotely representative of what feminism in fact is, does and tries to do.

Well, mostly I was just trying to be encouraging! We *can* do it!!! Let me share with you a pizza dough recipe I find pretty fabulous, though it isn't as chewy as some might like (I'm not a master by any means, but maybe someday with practice we both will be?!): http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/v… And here's a…

Word. I asked because I was genuinely interested, but I understand if it's annoying going through the reasons why the season was particularly bad. :-\

Obviously sexism and women's rights should only be relegated to a single Gawker Media site—those subjects couldn't possibly be relevant on other platforms!

Yeah...I can definitely see that. I guess I just try to focus on the Cumberbatchiness of it all and ignore the unpleasantries. :(

For someone that doesn't watch the show but has been interested to check it out, could you give me a spoilery run-down of the sexism?

I'm getting a sort of subdued Spice Girls vibe from the above photo.

Hahahaha. FTW.

On this note, it seems like anytime a bush is shown on TV, there's a merkin involved. I mean, there was Evan Rachel Wood in Mildred Pierce, and I would swear that in True Blood, Lilith and her two minions are rocking some pretty noticeable merkins. It kind of makes me sad, because I don't think natural pubic hair…

Throw sweet, sweet butter in there, and you have my perfect meal! The peasant blood, it is strong.

You know, I think it's just a matter of practice. I'm a big baker too but I shy away from bread, usually from fear, but I find the more yeast recipes I work with, the better I get at them. Just like with baking a cake, your familiarity of the ingredients and how they should look during the batter and baking phase will…

This is a fascinating interview—really excellent, thought-provoking questions and similar answers. The byline did not make me want to read this book, but after hearing the author's take on these cases (which seem to be covered more and more in the news, though I'm sure there are a similar amount of male teacher-female…

FTW.

The mental image of Taylor Swift as a voodoo doll is full of so much win.

That's extremely judgmental, especially considering you know nothing about this person's relationship based on a couple of Jezebel comments. This comment says more about you than them, tbh.

I agree with that. But then I wonder—it also stalls the economy enormously, since my generation isn't buying cars or houses like we might have done 20 years ago. What is the end game here? Erasing the middle class? Is all the talk about reinvigorating the economy covering up their real goals?

I'm 6 figures too, with only an MA to my name—starting the PhD on fellowship next month so I won't be increasing my debt load, but my interest will be capitalizing on the private loans I have (which make up 50% of my total loans—I hate you, Sallie Mae).

*raises hand* My parents repeatedly re-financed their house and have a huge mortgage, no savings to speak of and can barely make ends meet. My dad has been disabled and unemployed, on workman's comp, since the early 2000s. I entered college in 2005 and never qualified for enough aid because my Expected Family…

If the rumors are true, seems like he clearly has a type!
