I’m speaking of gender, and those who equate my opposition to the trans community redefining what a woman is with those who claim that people who are pro-gay marriage (like me) are redefining marriage. Marriage is a societal construct that has taken many forms over the centuries. How I define mine has no effect on how

It’s because of we old feminists that people like you enjoy the freedom you have. When I graduated college, the women I graduated with were all pushed into secretarial and other clerical slots by the employment agencies we went to. The men were all steered into management training positions by these same agencies.

Please look for my documentary, “Baltimore is Burning,” in theaters next year. It features the trans-black community, which includes people who wear blackface to express who they truly are. Because everything is drag, anyway, right? No harm, no foul.

It harms me when what someone else is doing includes a redefinition of who I am. Proponents of gay marriage (of which I am one) are not demanding that people in traditional male-female marriages now refer to themselves as “cis marriages.” They also do not ask such people to refrain from discussing issues related to

Oh, I agree that she would have done this with or without all the publicity. At least, I hope so. Because otherwise, that would be really sick. What gets me is that she is making a fortune out of this, turning what is a very personal, serious issue into a media circus that she can capitalize on. Which is exactly what

I do not hate anybody. Well, I hate some people. But not trans women. What I hate are new words to describe what I am. I hate that my daughter finds it necessary to refer to herself as a cis woman all the time. She is never simply a woman. She is a cis woman. The trans community has added a qualifier to a perfectly

Thank you, youngs, for inventing a new offensive term to describe me and my cohort. Please, use it often. Because cunt, bitch and whore were not good enough. I definitely needed a new term to degrade me and my opinions. So thank you for TERF. It's time.

Yeah, I’d be happy too if I’d just been featured on the cover of Vanity Fair in my underwear. I’d be overjoyed if I had just signed a multi-million dollar contract for a show featuring me alone, instead of my obnoxious family. I would be over the moon if Diane Sawyer spent two hours of prime time TV discussing me and

Why do I have to change my title from “woman” to “cis woman” for your comfort? I find the very phrase “cis woman” offensive, as though we aren’t members of the right club and must have our experiences qualified. Caitlyn Jenner is a woman but I am a cis woman? Bullshit. You have just made Elinor Burkitt’s argument for

Me too.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Religious extremism, no matter what the religion, is the most dangerous trend today. There is little difference between these folks and the ultra-radical Muslims. Well, they're not bombing places and beheading people. Yet. Good for the Israeli women who are fighting this crap. If

To me, he’ll always be the guy who broke up with Carrie via post-it note. There are some things that can never be forgiven.

Always heard that Jen is a major stoner. Heard that she and Brad were constantly stoned.Brad kinda confirmed this a while back when he stated that he was bored in his first marriage because all he did was get stoned and sit on the couch. Or words to that effect. Sounds like a real prince.

Well, I think that’s the standard we should all live by today. And the next time my husband is presented to the king, he’ll be properly attired. I, of course, will be wearing flip-flops and a bikini.

I once wore a pair of Jimmy Choo strappy sandals to a Mardi Gras ball in NOLA. The most painful shoes I have ever owned, and I am a Manolo addict. (BTW, in my experience, Manolo makes extremely comfortable shoes, that are usually easier to wear than many lesser-made flats.). Anyway, back to the cruel Jimmy Choos.

Really terrible policy. But the Audrey Hepburn photo was a terrible example, in that she was clearly wearing kitten heels, not flats.

Isaiah Washington did not call T.R. Knight a faggot. He did use the word, but it was in a fight with Patrick Dempsey, and not directed toward Knight. IIRC, Knight then took it upon himself to come out and make it all about him, with the support of Katherine Heigl. Washington was told to keep his mouth shut about it,

Without knowing what the contract says, it’s hard to know what the actual situation is. A star of his stature is likely to have a “pay or play” clause or some sort of guarantee. If so, Shonda could write him out at any time for any or no reason, but she’d still have to pay out his contract. Just because an actor has a

I have heard about this happening a lot - a widower remarrying very quickly. I always thought of it as kind of a tribute to the first marriage. That that marriage was so happy, the widower wanted to repeat the experience ASAP. It would seem that only a miserable marriage would make one say, “Never again.” So in a way,

Only if Shonda Rhimes wrote this show.
