Have a topic you'd like to see discussed by me and Cat, probably while under the influence of a lot of sugar? Drop it here! We'll copy out our favorites and put them into a hat (or hat-shaped object), to be drawn during our conversation whenever we need a subject change.
It'll be fun!

How about gender essentialism -- are women inherently different from men, other than anatomically, or are any observed differences wholly societal in origin? For a more practical application, is "just men in skirts" a valid dismissal of an author's female characters, and what does that mean about the women who identify with them?
