Which means that he and I have probably seen each other many times in real life.\n<p>I know it&#8217;s not meaningful, I just find stuff like that weird.<\/p>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/demoniccookie.blogspot.com\/2004\/06\/i-saw-stepford-wives-yesterday-and-boy.html\">Quote<\/a>: &#8220;Someone should make a movie about upper-middle-class women who, sick of being responsible for the house and the kids, decide to turn their husbands into robots who cheerfully do housework.&#8221;\n<li>I&#8217;m way late linking to One Good Thing&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/buggydoo.blogspot.com\/2004_06_01_buggydoo_archive.html#108630575647212658\">Alex, a Story in Three Parts<\/a>.

The white paper says that Evangelicals won&#8217;t go to hell if they vote for a Democrat, so I guess that&#8217;s good.\n<li>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/ads?client=ca-nytimes_article_var&#038;random=1088007910968&#038;hints=United%2BStates%2BInternational%2BRelations%2CAbortion%2CChina%2CUnited%2BNations%2BPopulation%2BFund&#038;adsafe=high&#038;format=ca-nytimes_flex&#038;output=html&#038;channel=ar_politics&#038;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nytimes.com%2F2004%2F06%2F21%2Fpolitics%2F21popu.html%3Fex%3D1403150400%26en%3D78fb39d09438a584%26ei%3D5007%26partner%3DUSERLAND\">U.S. is Accused of Trying to Isolate U.N.

It&#8217;s this sort of thing that has convinced me to vote for Kerry rather than a third party candidate.\n<li>This one project, alone, complete justifies the existence of the internet. <a href=\"http:\/\/wordcraft.infopop.cc\/eve\/ubb.x?a=tpc&#038;s=441607094&#038;f=695108655&#038;m=898102065\">The Oxford English Dictionary in Limerick Form<\/a>.

I don&#8217;t have time to reply in detail now, but in general Tom seems to see the finding that evangelicals are good husbands as a black eye for feminism. I see the finding &#8211; <i>if<\/i> it&#8217;s true &#8211; as a possible sign that feminist criticism has been effective and improved the world.
