At least US Weekly has backed off somewhat of their relentless, inappropriate gender-policing of Shiloh. "Sister Shiloh, 7, stuck to her signature tomboy style for the outing, wearing a white polo shirt, black shorts and loafers."

I like how Lena Dunham's not allowed to improve herself according to the comments here. Everyone gets on her case for not being concerned about racial issues, then when she tries to be more thoughtful, everyone craps on her. So she's never allowed to do better?

I think Mark Valley is married to Anna Torv. Not that he couldn't hang out with Tyra, or something.

Agreed. Let's not keep Penabler waiting too long. Lets get to the good stuff soon.

Wall Street and Leonardo DiCaprio. Two of my least favorite things to think about.

It's amazing how much Sally and Betty are alike. And neither of them particularly like one another - it's not just on Sally's end.

So good. I've seen this twice, and will gladly watch it again.

Nope - still spoilers - they are actually altered human gene sequences, so they are still owned under patent.

So, *spoilers *

But it's not a question of whether the mother "wants to stay tied to them through monthly checks."

I have a different cat with the same message. One of my favorites.

I'm not entirely certain we're being presented as Dani being the hero we all dream of, any more than Tyrion is, or Jon Snow is, or perhaps Bran or Arya Stark is. Even Stannis Baratheon is starting to pivot into a role where we can look up to him as something more than a "you took my toys, whaaaa" kind of character.

They all say something different; the numbers are really hard to track because of the difficulties surrounding rape reporting. But all of the reports DO show that pregnancy as a result of rape is significantly more likely than through consensual sex.

Fortunately for me (and for him!) was traveling visiting family on the east coast when his remarks blew up. But I had tweeted about how angry I was, and one of my friends is a columnist for the local paper, so she quickly pointed literally every local news source at me, and I was on the phone giving interviews all day…

It is not rare. It is TWICE as likely for a woman to become pregnant by rape as to conceive via consensual sex.

MIT has some open online courses on feminism, if you're truly interested in learning more and enjoy online academic environments.

Added to my watch list. Thanks for that recommendation; looks fascinating.

Not gonna watch it, just because Watts looks not quite enough like Diana to fool me, but enough that I don't want my memory of one of my first full-blown crushes replaced by an imitation. Leave my memories alone, movies.

For those inquisitive folks who don't know how to use the google, start here, and come back if you you have genuine questions.

Thanks for that link. I hadn't seen that site before; glad to be able to sign the pledge and send it on to others.
