Same day, even

So the Washington Post reviews this book and its author, Dante Moore, on how women need to get skinny, learn to cook & clean, and dress sexy while they're doing it.

The Post also publishes an article on how "the percentage of [Japanese] women who remain single into their 30s has more than doubled since 1980". One woman states, "I have never met a Japanese man who did not want me to be his mommy," and the article notes such drawbacks as

[T]he rarely stated but almost universal expectation of Japanese men to be fed, clothed and picked up after [...] [A]fter a divorce, men [in Japan] tend to feel unhappy and remarry quickly. Divorced women, though, are relatively happy and often delay remarriage.

Both articles were published the same day. Kinda wonder if Moore happened to see the article about women wanting partners instead of extra children while perusing his own press.

Okay, congoers....

WadeRockett:	@Jenk3 The Republican National Convention sounds fun. Especially the cosplay and filking.

So...

What would be your hall costume at the RNC?
What song would you sing in the filk circle?
What panel would you want to be on?

ETA: I generally don't do much costuming, but I'd wear the shirt siouxiequeue tie-dyed for me (Celtic cross with pagan imagery - it's a fantastic Rorschach shirt), sing Mal's Song, and would chair a panel on Applying Lessons Learned In Software Testing To The Legislative Process.
