<p>Whoever funded this should have seen the controversy coming a mile away. I must be getting cynical in my old age, but I have a sneaking suspicion they knew that a controversy was coming and that it&#8217;d sell calendars. But the heat got too hot in the kitchen, so to speak.</p>
<p>Unfortunately this isn&#8217;t an issue I&#8217;m willing to touch on my blog. Why? Cause our attitudes toward sex and toward smart women just are totally messed up and there&#8217;s no way I can fix that with a blog post. Translation: I&#8217;m chicken. Heheh.</p>
<p>It&#8217;ll be interesting fodder for <a href="http://www.blogher.org/">BlogHer</a>, though.</p>
<p>Update: heheh. <a href="http://maryamie.spaces.msn.com/blog/cns!9592F3DEF41537A3!1891.entry">Maryam blogged about </a>the exact same thing, even though we didn&#8217;t plan that out, then started telling me off cause she read my blog. It&#8217;s funny blogging together. We&#8217;re so competitive. Maryam says she&#8217;s a narcisist. Heheh. I love her too!</p>
