Who the hell is this woman supposed to be, anyway? The old ho' doesn't even have any judicial experience!
You know, when Herr Bushy von Asskrack nominated John Roberts, I was amazed: here he was putting forth a candidate for a Supreme Court bench who was intelligent, reasonable, and responsible. I didn't find anything objectionable with Roberts at all: he was just an okay guy who had the necessary experience to be able to do the job. John Roberts may be the ONLY person Bushy has ever appointed who wasn't one of his dumbfuck cronies, like that Brownie twat who was, of course, perfectly qualified to head up FEMA after failing miserably to run a fucking horse-breeding organization. Roberts is a decent fellow, and I think he'll be a worthwhile justice.
But this Miers crone? Probably the mom of one of Bushy's college coke-snorting buddies.

I'm usually not one to take an interest in so-called "gender issues" since 99.9999% of the academic conversation concerning "gender" concepts is meaningless treknobabble comprised of made-up words for made-up concepts. Hell, half the time, terms like "gender" and "sexual orientation" are bandied about aimlessly without any real definition of what these terms even mean: if no one can even pin down a reasonable definition of "gender," what's the point of even TRYING to identify something derived from it like "gender dysphoria?" But anyway....
This article on MSNBC.com, however, is one of the few insightful pieces I've ever read concerning the subject because it simply takes a look at androgyny as a pop-culture--a sociaological--phenomenon. It's not particularly detailed, but it's honest and straightforward, and it deals well with its subject matter via personal interviews.
Talk about "gender issues" MUST be pragmatic and down-to-earth, or it's all just airy-fairy theoretical bullshit. I say again: THEORY IS USELESS unless it adequately describes and predicts real-world interactions. Gender is a part of everyone's everyday life; in order to describe it properly, you have to pay attention to everyday life.
