Linkage:
- “Why Amurika is F*cked”– eight minutes and twenty-two seconds of youtube wtf interviews with people waiting in line at a Sarah Palin book signing
- In the UK a straight couple was denied a civil union because those are for the gays?
- Escalation in Afghanistan.
- “Dinosaurs are for Boys (Girls Allowed)“- Sociological Images discussing androcentrism, “or the idea that boy things are good for everyone but girl things are only good for girls”
- On BPA in all our food packaging, how it’s effecting us, and who to contact to help stop it.
- Hillary Clinton and Obama in a caption-this-photo.
- Cats actually are evil. I win.
- [Edit to include this sexist pig’s shit:] Glenn Beck is OK with a Beck-Palin 2012 ticket, but Palin-Beck 2012 is too rich- she should just get back in the kitchen where she belongs.
This list is short. Sorry- most of what I’ve read this week wasn’t particularly share-worthy (imo) or filtered into my Google Reader at a time when I was just skimming. Anyone have any links or stories to tell?
Also, hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving =]

Here’s my observation. From the earliest age your brother would crawl right past any “girl” toy and go straight for the boy toys. You never seemed to notice the supposed gender identity of a toy other than a lack of interest in sports. As a parent I went out of my way to make all toys seem gender neutral rather than his or hers but it make absolutely no difference.
