Uh, Macbeth and Richard the III were villains, and they got it pretty hard in the end, for which we all cheered. But Hamlet, in with those other two? He was pretty clearly a hero/protagonist, even though he took his time doing the right thing.

Equal time for the otherwise inclined:

Agree - although when you see him standing next to Diana's brother, that long ago settled any question in my mind. He gets the ginger from his mom's family, obviously, and with the beard, he clearly looks like Charles did when he was young and had a beard.

Yep, he was indeed that guy. And here's another link about it. How he can show his face in public, I'll never know.

Any song in a minor key, but these are my favs:

That's basically what my wife does, too.

Yeah, I kinda wondered when we were going to hear about a stay on the marriages, because I was sure the state would appeal it. I sort of expected to hear something like this, unfortunately.

Those are great. Let's all pretend these imaginary Will & Kate versions are real, please.

Gosh no; once you put the kids out there in the world, provide for them, or find someone who will.

Yeah, that was my assessment as well. But the three people who posted it to to my facebook newsfeed think it's totally true.

Read the original study - it's totally full of crap. Especially:

"becoming parents of children of our own" is what I meant. Not my most artful expression.

I dated a woman who had been regularly raped from the time she was a small girl, and she had dissociative identity disorder and would have a break fairly often when she was triggered. Believe me, watching her dissociate was scary and heartbreaking, and I can't help thinking about stuff like that whenever I read…

I did some snoozing in the dark until Tauriel showed up (Evangeline Lilly, because that's why I was there) then I pretended to be Kili for a while while he tried to flirt with her. Then I snoozed again until they opened the door to the cave and went in. So, basically I followed your guide without knowing that's what I…

And no, it's not a compliment to say all women are "mothers of earth," either. Many peoples have no interest in being parents of our own children or anyone else's kids, or the whole damned planet.

Or they are raped while unconscious when drugged, which is possible.

Sure, because women are only valuable if they are mothers.

I like snarky comments as much as the next guy, but there are some implications here that are pretty disturbing about women and education and bodily autonomy, and I'm having a hard time taking this story lightly.

I wish people would quit engaging with the assholes so we can get them back in the greys. All day yesterday, especially on that Martin Freeman thread, people were arguing.

I'm not allowed to move to Arizona. :)
