In response to Not Quite ‘The End of Men’:

Rosin is gifted at crafting a narrative, but her message that women are now on top is false. It encourages those who say we live in a gender blind society, so we can abandon efforts to help women advance.

In response toHere Comes Honey Boo Boo’ Blows Up!:

Maybe I am in the minority in not viewing Honey Boo Boo as a beacon of the end of life as we know it. Honey Boo Boo & family are certainly easy targets; the producer and TLC have bent over backwards to highlight every little oddity. I’ve watched a couple of shows and find Alana to be a kind-hearted child who is bright and full of life.
