Women and the Law – Magazine – The Atlantic
Women and the Law – Magazine – The Atlantic. This is interesting to read. I didn’t realize all of the disadvantages that women have. Glad I’m a guy.
Pet Shop Boys – What Have I Done To Deserve This – YouTube

Anyone wanted to be like Alex Keaton?
I am watching Netflix and the Family Ties episode “Speed Test”. In this episode Alex was trying to be perfect and used drugs to get good grades and score well on his tests. Alex did many stupid things on the show, but I seemed to ignore them as a kid.
Now watching the show Alex seems more like a jerk than a role model. He was intelligent, could be funny, and seemed to do well with women. I know he was written to be the foil of the good characters in his family, but he seemed to take a perverse pleasure in being the bad guy.
Now I’d rather be more like myself. Role models seem kind of silly.
