I wonder at what average age women say their biological clocks are ticking. Technically, you should be pretty young (near when you reach sexual maturity). It's actually kind of bucking nature to not have children until one's 30s. Poor Callie.
I definitely hadn't thought that the fake lesbian business would offend Elyima, so my surprise there was quite genuine. I wonder if it really is a you have to have been there to understand the offense kind of thing? Nobody has ever questioned my sexuality so I don't understand how uncomfortable that might be. Or offensive. I don't know E's history, but maybe other comm members can weigh in>
And, um, I LOVE Dr. Suess. Was raised on the Suess (Green Eggs and Ham, Lorax, Oh the Places You'll Go...there was also one about the Circus McGurkis?). But coming out of Jackson's mouth? In that particular scenario. It was so much WTF-ery. Also, Mer is no Cindy Lou Who.
The fake lesbian comment... it is the only way that I can ever become annoyed because as a bisexual I get so many jokes about "pick a side already" "fencesitter" "greedy" etc. so it stings when either partner a male or female questions you in that way.
But come ON the way Callie opens that 'conversation' so sounds like a breakup; I probably would have gone into the defensive as well.
My feeling on the offensiveness of vacationing in lesbian land: I guess I feel that Callie has overcome a lot of stigma to be with Arizona, and she now considers that "who she is". She considers that they are stable. It's pretty demeaning when someone suggests that you've overcome all of that for something that you aren't that you may not be so devoted to. It was more of an attack of her character than her sexual identity to me I guess.

This is a REALLY good way to think about it. That's how it felt to me too.
Thank you for always listening! We appreciate it!
No, I love Dr. Seuss. I think I had a problem with the fact that Mer doesn't fit the category of Dr. Seuss character in my head AT ALL!
