@pumpkinsoup: The Times profile a while back made it sound like they share custody: [jezebel.com] Read more

@dummyfakeroller: Thanks, fixed. And yeah, it's interesting that the actor—>politician path followed by Reagan and Schwarzenegger hasn't been traveled by more women. Clearly this is Heidi Montag's future. Read more

@AuntieBee: The Ms. Georgia Nursing Home web site mentions beauty too. But you have a good point that Ms. Missouri doesn't seem to include that language itself, AP uses it about them. Read more

@J.D.Regent: Although, to be totally fair, us feminists have been known to fight over the word "feminist." :) Read more

@emfish55: Yeah, I bet ad revenues would plummet. But maybe people would buy more magazines because they'd be better? But probably not, because people who are really into DIY might not be also into buying glossy magazines ... sigh, I can dream though. Read more

@NefariousNewt: It's hard to imagine anyone taking this guy seriously, but the Tennessean talked to a lady who clapped for him, then said, "I don't go to the doctor, I don't take prescription drugs, so why should I pay for someone else's health care?" So apparently he does have an audience. Read more

@BeckyIva: Brill talked to some teachers who seemed unfairly rubber-roomed (like a guy who was accused of harassment but maybe innocent). He also talked to several teachers who claimed to have been victimized by principals but whose claims were specious. Regardless, this is a crappy system that serves no one — not… Read more

@Penny: I think higher teacher pay is hugely important, and should go hand in hand with better accountability. I feel like districts currently have the mindset that teaching is "a labor of love," that people should do for relatively little money, and in return get little oversight. Read more

@sportz.star: I don't think the IAAF has been very clear about what its standards for competing as a woman are — the clearest thing I've read says that people who identify as women but have intersex conditions are allowed to compete as long as the condition doesn't give them "an unfair advantage." I'm not sure how… Read more

@MizValentine: When I was a camp counselor (in like 1995?) a lot of five-year-old girls seemed to be named Jordan. But it didn't take off like I thought it might. Read more

@annagsquared: I have the AH-na problem a lot — I think sometimes that pronunciation can be correct with two n's, but it's not how you say my name. Sometimes I think people think they are being polite, like AH-na is somehow classier. Read more

@lindsayweir: I totally had this problem. I think that was the origin of the "Annabelle" fixation. Read more

@Experiment626: It's a funny reference, but I also feel like this guy totally shows how that kind of rhetoric is really bad, whether it comes from liberals or conservatives. I guess the song, and maybe the movie Idiocracy, are more tongue-in-cheek about it, but it's still kinda messed up. Read more

@CissyPants: Basically it seems like this only came up once she started doing really well. First they tested her for drugs, and she was clean. Now they're testing her sex. Read more

@ebel: What makes a woman look like a woman and are womanly/feminine features only confined to heterosexual women? Read more

@queenjulie: Oh, I definitely don't think Kristof and WuDunn made up this data about spending — I'm just kind of troubled by the "wise/unwise" language. Read more

@khinky: I agree. I support the programs they advocate. My hope is that people reading Jezebel already think of gender inequality as a problem, and don't need to be convinced that the issue is "serious." Kristof and WuDunn's approach, though problematic, might pay off if it brings more attention to the problems of… Read more

@wtfox?!: To be fair, I don't think anyone — at least not sports officials — are assuming she's cheating. I think they assume she is unknowingly "male." Read more

@sportz.star: It's somewhat amazing to me that the "problem" of hermaphroditism hasn't been more fully addressed in sport earlier Read more
