Television's men: even worse off than the women? → npr.org

I love linda holmes and her tv analysis. She watches and complains about bad tv so I don’t have to even consider watching these shows!

Sad. He made a major contribution to the world. My grandpa has lived with a pacemaker for 20 years, so I’m very grateful.

Where are all the female anime fans? | 毎日アニメ夢 → animeyume.com

What do you all think? Are there fewer female anime fans than male anime fans? Is it purely a regional distinction? My response is waaaaay down on the page.

“It’s not that I don’t love children, they are funny and I just love them, but I never wanted to have them. I really tried to want it at one point. I thought maybe I should. But I never convinced myself. I think some men and women just don’t have a deep urge to procreate. I think still it is very fine not to want children. There are far too many people in the world. It’s my contribution to ecology.” —Helen Mirren Tried To Convince Herself To Want Kids, But It Didn’t Work

I’m more fond of the anime than she is, but I’m also much less familiar with the manga.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly, although she gives penny from Big Bang Theory much more credit than I would…
