Oh, and the movie was great, too. Stunningly beautiful cinematography and a fairly close adaptation of the book. But there was a butt.

Unrelated, but I got to see The Martian last night and am still excited about it. Plus there was a naked butt scene.

Yes! As an adjunct, you go ladies!

When did 20% get to be the standard? I’m not complaining but I recall 15% being the norm and then it’s 20%.

Tipping is the worst thing about America.

20%? “Outrageous tip”? No, sir. 20% is standard. An “outrageous tip” might be “Tip: to save money when dining out, be sure to steal from your waitstaff.

I don’t know if this helps but here you go

That’s my issue with the response. To each their own, if you consider yourself a humanist then fine. But it feels like many people are using the term humanist to call themselves feminist without actually using the word feminist. It’s well past time we realize feminist isn’t a dirty/outdated word.

I’m a humanist too. I insist that the God of the Middle ages move towards the background in depictions of the individual. I believe in the study of Aristotle, in grammar, rhetoric, and philosophy. I like to paint my models naked, because the human form is noble and carries ideas. I am a humanist. Meryl, I love you,…

The problem is that the definition you just posted there isn’t what she meant. Humanism has zero to do with equal gender rights. Feminism promotes the nice easy balance she spoke of. She meant feminism, but she was afraid to say it.
