Outside The Stonewall Inn, As A Crowd Was Celebrating The Supreme Court’s Same-sex Marriage Ruling,

I like strong woman. The ones who look at you straight in the eye, the ones that can make you quiver in your boots with the simple raising of an eyebrow. These woman who wear their skin like well-worn armor, who have their experiences etched in the creases of their hands and laugh lines around their eyes, these are the women who inspire me. I like their unapologetic nature, their fierce determination and their unshakable beliefs in the legitimacy of their cause. I know that these woman are sharp, they can be demanding, unrelenting, uncompromising. After all, they are from a generation that had to fight tooth and nail to achieve their successes. They persevered in arts, politics, academia, and media and carved the paths that younger women like me take for granted.

Here’s the FULL 1D Day Show!

Okay, one last summer reading review (for now).  This one was hilarious, and I read it in my local B&N cafe in one sitting while waiting for a wedding reception. (It was one of those things where the wedding is in the afternoon, and the reception is at night, don't you hate those things?)  Anyway, sorry B&N, I didn't pay for this one, but I bought lots of other books, and had a soy milk latte, grande size.

Winston writes short essays mostly about her ex-boyfriend, who said she has a fat ass, actually the largest one he has ever seen, and then he wrote a book about it.  Obviously an ex.  Of course I googled who her ex is, his third book is about to be published.  None of his work appears to be my cup of tea.  

Reading the list of Hollywood’s 20 Most Hated Celebrities I’m struck once again by how many women are on the list (and rank highest!) because “ugh, they’re so obnoxious and fake!” and how many men are on the list because of racism, misogyny, violence, and charming things like defending enablers of pedophilia.
