…My point is that we don’t really know exactly what she knew. And there is no point in continuing to kick her now. What people do in the dynamics of a marriage is really their business.

“Fresh Air” commentary, May 28, 2008
A couple of months ago, the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary made some long-overdue revisions in the definitions for a bunch of gender-related words. Before then, the dictionary’s definition of girlfriend in the meaning of “sweetheart” read “a man’s favorite female companion,” which would have precluded lesbians from [...]
