    Jez fans of Twilight, what is this series' appeal for grown women (who have no kids who read these books)? What are the redeeming qualities? Life is short, and I've made a vow to no longer waste neurons on crap that has zero nutritional value. If it's bunk, it has to make me laugh really hard. Otherwise I skip.

    @snug*bug: That is a question I ask myself on a regular basis, and I think I have identified a couple of salient characteristics:


    1) When I was a teenager, I was madly in love with a brooding, Byronic, wholly inappropriate dude who was all about the Deep Mystery. He dumped me, moved away, came back, and got back together with me, and I was the happiest girl ever. Then he dumped me again. Reading these books reminds me (at a remove of about 18 years) how that felt, both the highs and the lows.


    2) Stephenie Meyer can't write for beans, but somehow she still manages to nail certain key elements of sensuality. I can't figure out how she does it, in between all the bad plotting and flat characterization, and I keep rereading Twilight to figure it out. I do have a Literature degree; I should be able to pin this shit down.


    3) Robert Pattinson is really hot.

    So I finished Breaking Dawn yesterday and I feel like such a fucking loser for having been drawn in to the series, despite the awful writing and dubious anti-feminist messages.


    I went to Barnard for Chrissakes. This stuff should not be appealing to me!

    @Easybreezy: *pats* There, there. It's okay. Trust me, you are not alone.


    I rationalize it by telling myself that 1) I recognize the anti-feminist portions, and 2) that Wuthering Heights is pretty bad too, on that front. But really, it's all about remembering what it was like to be a teenager madly in love with a brooding and inappropriate dude who dumped me and got back together with me way too many times. Difference is, I now know what bullshit all that is.


    That and I have a huge thing for Robert Pattinson.

    I know that one experience does not a scientific study make. But my son loved his pacifier so much that he needed two (one for the mouth, one for the hand), and he breastfed until 4 days before his second birthday.


    But I back my story up with this professional opinion: When confronted with the suggestion that pacifiers might cause a baby to be less interested in nursing, my GP said "No baby yet born has confused plastic for food." There's a difference between nursing for sustenance, and nursing for comfort. I'm not against the latter, but it shouldn't be confused with the former.

    A-A's PSA: Girls, women, go into math. We need you. In middle school I did very well in math, but in high school, I picked up on the idea that I shouldn't be too good in it. I'm in grad school now, and I just want to add more and more math into my work. If other fields are your thing, excellent. We need the variety. But if you like math, if you're good at it, please, do not let people push you away. You can do it!

    My boss's girlfriend worked for Singapore Airlines (which is really well known at the best airline for trans-Pacific flights) and they are SO strict about the women who work there. They are weighed fairly regularly and if they gain weight, they're demoted or fired. Same goes for if they're pregnant. They only advertise for pretty girls, and they are reprimanded for not wearing makeup or otherwise doing things that detract from their beauty.

    @baraqiel: Yeah, widespread and systematic cheating in the Chinese athletic system is par for the course. Youth is an advantage? Say they're older. Age and experience is the advantage? Do the opposite. The international athletic community should just say "fuck you" to China and shut them out until they quit it.
