Oh that's a good question. Doc and Fluff by Pat Califia.

I am excited to visit UND. I have never been there. I don't always stay focused and positive. This week, hell, this year has been rough. But I do try to remember that there is work left to be done and so we don't have the luxury of wallowing. More realistically, I allow myself my vices and ways of relaxing, and I also

It's a little of both, Erin Gloria. I started calling myself a bad feminist tongue in cheek because I'm a feminist but sometimes, not so good at it. And then I realized the label kind of worked because it allowed me to claim feminism. I also decided to own it because the term feminist has, indeed, been hurled at me

Roxane, totally. We can become better feminists by holding ourselves to higher standards. We can speak up instead of staying silent. We can deny ourselves the pleasures we know are problematic. We have to be willing to make hard choices to become better feminists.

Onions, mushrooms, black olives.

I believe that if a woman wants to stay at home to raise her family, she should be supported in that decision. While I also recognize the great financial risk of that choice, the problem isn't women staying home. The problem is that we don't have the social structures in place to support women in making that choice.

The manager of the Best Buy where this incident occurred has reached out to apologize. I was on book tour when he called so I will be returning his call this week. I've also been in contact with one of their social media people.

I don't know that there is anything you can do, other than be yourself. But I also wouldn't go out in the world thinking women are carrying these assumptions. Many women are wary but if we're looking for love, we're probably also open to possibility. You are putting quite a lot on yourself to imagine that you have to

I watch a lot of Law & Order SVU and Barefoot Contessa. And I love movies. I will see anything. I can't wait to see Step Up 5.

I did worry but I was also really committed to writing the violence as honestly and plainly as I could. The book is not for everyone but I also don't think it is singularly defined by the violence. An Untamed State is about so much more.

I go by Roxane. I don't see that as a cheap move. Points are points and using an S to hook is just a way of creating space on the board to make points.

I'm glad to be here! I think feminists can, at times, be defensive because we have, historically, been backed into a really shitty corner. When we see these great feminist hopes, we're so.... hungry to have our concerns seen and heard that we become really myopic.

I love everything about this. It's like they're not even trying!

I would find appearing on this show more stressful than Jeopardy, which is my lifelong dream. That said, this is still hilarious.

Epic, epic, epic.

Epic, epic, epic.
