Lionel Shriver in yesterday's Guardian on women and their discomfort about ambition: except that I'm not entirely persuaded that some of the phenomena she describes are about gender rather than right- vs left- pond cultural norms...
Another article about the medicalisation of female sexuality and the marketing of 'quick-fix' pharmaceutical solutions to complex problems. Not sure that it's saying anything very new about this, though it probably bears reiterating.

In other news, I have a cold. Not bad enough to keep me off work - although I felt sufficiently bad yesterday that if that state of affairs had continued I might have taken today off - but not very nice, anyway. Low energy, cough, and snuffles. And I was quite happy with what everybody else in the area apparently deemed the excessive heat in the office this morning: it's now been 'fixed' and is somewhat too cool for my personal liking in my current state.
