Amen to that question.Who the hell picks Huntsman as their first choice and Santorum as their second? “I’d really like a President who believes in evolution and climate change, but if I can’t have that, I’d like to keep rape victims from getting abortions.”
How has Huntsman dropped out but not Roemer?
I know what I’m doing for Vday cards nowI made Breaking Bad valentines because I couldn’t find any that expressed my love for my friends and the show.

The description of genius with feminine images did not serve to bridge the gulf between male and female artists, partly because of the different ways that their creativity was conceived. Actual childbirth was regarded as an outgrowth of women’s “natural” biological role; their own particular emotions and sensitivities were similarly regarded as manifestations of what nature bestowed upon them. Their artistic expression was thereby categorized as less achievement than natural display; consequently the expression of feeling in women’s art was often seen as a manifestation of temperament, while strong feelings expressed in the work of men were interpreted as emotions conveyed with mastery and control. By this way of thinking, emotions in women’s art are a byproduct of nature; in contrast, the genius of the male artist produces a new creation that transcends the dictates of nature."

I believe that this explains a lot about gender binary in pretty much everything (I’m looking at you, Academia).
