Yeah, I know I'm supposed to like Pascalle more than I do. I don't. I can't fucking stand her, which has made her storyline this series difficult for me.
It's not so much that I can't stand her. I just don't care about her. I don't find her particularly interesting.
So the only thing I felt about the whole Pascalle/Judd thing was: Eeew. Ick.

That reminds me... can I have David's book inscribed by Emma, like last year?
Do you know, that despite having stayed at my house several times since my buying the book, she has never inscribed it.
Maybe I should take it to Chch in a couple of weeks, and get David to sign it.

So,, when I go home this afternoon, what channel should I be watching for the good coverage?
-
@andre Heh. I have that pinned up next to desk at work.
@danielle I KNOW! I've been linking to it all over the show. It's just brilliant. Made me feel so much better about being called names yesterday.

I think, at this point, I will just link to this.

I just think she is a sideshow to discussion of gender equality and her path to the top is hardly an inspirational story .
But as you quite rightly point out, in terms of gender equality we're not all the way there.
I know a number of woman who are inspired by Maggie. I even know one or two who are impressed by Sarah Palin.
I don't agree with them, but God, they can damn well be inspired by whoever they like.
And, you know, you can admire Margaret Thatcher for making her way and her mark, in what was very much a man's world, without admiring her politics. It's a little dismissive of her achievments, like them or not, to call her a sideshow.
I would also point out, that as a woman, political and media role models are few and far between. We takes what we can gets.
[eta: Oh, Rachel Maddow. Sign me up for the 'would turn gay' bandwagon.]

It's not so much absurd to dump on your own gender, as inevitable in a world where feminist successes are incomplete. Uncle Tom is the equivalent term in a racist society.
Yeah, cos dudes _never_ do that. I've never seen a column in which a man said another man was doing an awful job of something. OH WAIT.
I reserve the right, as a chick, to behave as as much of a twatcock as the next person. Not because I want to get on Bill O'Reilly, but because I'm entitled to my opinion, however idiotic it is. You can think I am wrong, but it'd be really nice if you didn't suggest that cos I am a woman, my voice is meant to be all 'maternal' and 'empathetic' and mother-earthy. It actually tends to be relatively enraged and full of profanity.
Craig can probably give you a good idea of how my voice sounds, actually...
If I ever engage in ideological slut-shaming, I fully expect to get slapped and hard - 'cause that's just how the PAS Women's XV rolls.
Honey, I've told you before, it doesn't count if we know you like it.

I had a residue of resentment for many years over that.
I am still slightly bitter that my Mum wouldn't let me do marching with my friend Andrea.
Really, it was about the boots, but life could have been so different. Sigh...
-
Nor have I taken a ruler to any other part.
Darling...I typed that, looked at it, blanched, and then thought, 'nah, Emma will love it. I will leave it'.
To be fair, Megan and I did have a conversation about vulvas last night. It was two lines long and the second was "Yeah, let's not."
You don't want to share what the first line was?
-
Hmmm... I suspected so.
Damn. Missed the all-important not from that sentence.
As soon as you attempt to define it's length, it starts to move.
Oh, I am pretty sure you can attempt to measure it on every single state, and create some kind of graph.
