> Psychologists show how precarious masculinity is, and how men will resort to violence to defend it.

Very interesting indeed.

Most interesting of all I think is this statement:

> Interestingly, people tend to feel manhood is defined by achievements, not biology. Womanhood, on the other hand, is seen primarily as a biological state

Hence we see men judged on their emotions and behaviour; women on their bodies.

Given Dropbox and the clunkiness of having to manage your files through Google Docs, I must confess I think the GDrive is a bit 'too little, too late'. I've got 13.5GB of free storage on Dropbox and it integrates with all OSes and iOS/Android/Symbian, and all my friends use it so I can share folders and information really easily. But, I hope Google surprise me with something I just can't resist, because that'd be awesome.

hahaha. HAHAHA. Enjoy your shows being pirated by people of whom a proportion would have actually watched it in an approved way, then.
