I suppose she always uses the words "authentic" or "genuine" in place of "bona fide" as well. Surely she knows that words from other languages are often adopted by English speakers, and using said words isn't "incorrect English."

I plan on not being such a pompous ass when I become a professor of English/literature.

You say the United States, but I think you mean 'Merica.

On an unrelated noted: WOO PILLOW FIGHT WOOOO

Does it glow when glucose levels are high or low? Because I feel like it would be a terrible temptation for a diabetic to let their blood sugar level get too high in order to see a lovely glowing light under their skin. Or perhaps only I would do that.

Yeah, I'm not falling for this.

I may die earlier, but I'll get more done. And it will be PERFECT.

Hahaha. "I enter a hole."

@Prairie Dog, I'm sorry, I've reread your post several times and it still seems to me like you are implying that movies made about or for women must be or always are about "relationships". I assume you mean romantic relationships, since any movie with just one character not interacting with anyone else would most likely be unwatchable. Isn't this the sort of bias that the Bechdel test sheds light upon? The bias that women are only interested in things like romantic relationships, aka men?

This clearly isn't just a problem of action movies. "28 Days Later", an action/horror film, had very few characters, but two of its prominent characters were women. They took active roles in the story, and those roles were not defined by the men around them.

The point of this exercise isn't to get movie-makers to throw more women into their films, but to give women important roles independent of male agency.

I find it deeply disturbing, because it suggests that movies--a major form of entertainment, art, and moneymaking--imply that stories of importance are generally about men or involve only men taking active roles.

She could very easily be using face paints.

I grew up being homeschooled in Illinois, and my mother had to report to the state what my brother and I were learning. I guess it's more lax in Massachusetts?

While the mother or nanny was busy being attacked by the cat, the little man could have easily trodden over the broken glass that she hadn't gotten to clean up yet. Good job, safety cat.

Then show a picture of the latter.

While I don't necessarily question the logic of not swerving into the oncoming lane to avoid hitting an animal, the picture chosen for this article doesn't exactly make it seem like the most viable option either.

Very, very good. I would certainly love if this was a trilogy.
