Heh, I knew somewhere Jilli's ears were quivering and itching.
Mia Sara, right? Or was that Legend?
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

That was Legend. With the magic dress of gothy longing.

I've been grumpy for like 3-4 weeks. I think I might need back on meds.

That testosterone article is interesting. I had been under the impression, and I honestly don't know where this came from, that while men have a biological advantage in speed and power, women have the advantage in endurance, but if the glycogen storage difference is correct then that is not the case. Hmph.
That multi-page story on the South African runner (which it took me forever to read because I had to stop frequently to bemoan how awful people can be) mentioned the option of dividing competitors based on testosterone levels. Which would be problematic culturally, I think, but is an interesting idea.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

But they've explicitly said they're not quiverfull.
(Of course, I'm only guessing that the book is what with the quiver.)

Have they? Because Wikipedia has no citation for this.

OK, accepting the premise that the Duggars aren't part of the Quiverfull movement, it is unfair to attribute Quiverfull philosophy to them.
If you don't accept that premise then I guess whatever philosophy you want to attribute to them if fair game?
I don't feel comfortable saying "They believe X" (particularly something sort of militant if not outright nasty) without some sort of assertion on their part.
Now I'll go Google and try and find a cite one way or the other.

“They always ask, ‘Don’t you know what causes this? Are you Catholic or Mormon? Are they all yours? Are you a school group?’”
The Duggars are none of the above. They are members of an evangelical Christian movement called Quiverful, which holds that children are a blessing from God and that husbands and wives should gladly accept all the children they are given.
Couples in the movement also believe that the husband is the head of the household and the wife is submissive to him, while the children are submissive to both. The girls wear long dresses or skirts and tops, while the boys wear slacks and polo shirts.
The article and interview softpedal the full Quiverful philosophy, which is as bon describes.
