    It's taboo for women to smoke in our culture too. Such BS. If a boy smokes, it's teen rebellion. If a girl smokes, it's serious moral decay.

    On this "its culture" thing, it is not.  My sister was the first to go to university by herself away from home in our whole extended family, and spent a gap year abroad.  This was the early 60's.

    My grandparents were miners and steel workers.

    Look up about women in Britain during ww2.

    My sister was denied a chance to study engineering because of my parents. It's the worst thing they've done.

    If British industry is to recover, we must convince more girls to study science and take up engineering jobs and apprenticeships


    Persuade your parents to let your sister do that - it is never too late.  Do they not want a good retirement with security?  Your sister can do that!

    Parents can be such idiots. My sister just got home yesterday from the US with a PhD from UCLA and all my mother would do is not talk to her because she has some parts of her hair dyed green. Wtf I love my mom but she can be so irrational at times. I'd be parading and bragging about her shamelessly if I was her.

    Instead of being proud of her, she is upset because she dyed her hair green?

    I have wondered about that.  The stories I have read make me think it is all a mad comedy parody of games people play and similar books.

    Emotional blackmail instead of emotional intelligence.

    Is there a computer game "drama queen" I missed?

    Did she want to get a phd herself and was stopped?  There seems to be conflict about something!

    Just found out guys, the awesome Emma Thomson would probably support you.

    "I'm an atheist; I suppose you can call me a sort of libertarian anarchist. I regard religion with fear and suspicion. It's not enough to say that I don't believe in God. I actually regard the system as distressing: I am offended by some of the things said in the Bible and the Qur'an and I refute them."

    Taking the role of Lady Marchmain has probably strengthened her convictions.

    "I've never played anyone as extreme," Thompson agrees. "I think she was brought up by people who withheld all affection in lieu of the love of God, damaging her emotionally, which she then carried into her own parenting, and her children are damaged, too.

    "She means well, though," Thompson says, leaping instinctively to her character's defence. "She really does.
