Here?s something nice: Shirley Manson is still pretty awesome. If you were around in the 1990s, chances are pretty good that you loved Shirley Manson and/or her band, Garbage. She was part of the female-led rock band revolution, along with Hole, The Breeders, Ani DiFranco, Siouxsie and the Banshees, No Doubt, Portishead, Bikini Kill and more. It?s sort of painful to realize that the era of mainstream, badass Riot Grrl-driven alt-rock music is over. Anyway, Shirley is still around, and Garbage is still around. They?re touring, and to promote their latest album (Strange Little Birds), Shirley spoke to an Australian TV show about the state of feminism today and what she thinks of the young girls growing up in the current social media-driven culture. Shirley is 50 years old, by the way. And yes, she still kicks ass. Some quotes from her interview:
On identifying as a feminist: “Why any woman would want to divorce themselves from the idea of equality is beyond my understanding. With September 11 I think the world got really conservative. And whenever the world gets conservative, women are affected.”
The erosion of women?s rights across the world: “There’s definitely a global movement towards eradicating women’s rights. You’ll see it in Poland, you’ll see it in Argentina, you’re seeing it in the States. I mean, it’s just everywhere.”
Women got complacent: “I think that’s a result, in some ways, of a generation that followed the 90s, and women took for granted their rights, their human rights. [They] thought they were there to stay, not really understanding that human rights get eroded constantly and you always have to be really vigilant to make sure that these rights that women have fought so hard for remain in place. Instead we got a whole generation of young women who maybe thought they were living in the Garden of Eden. I’m not entirely sure what went wrong or what’s happened but they divorced themselves from the idea of feminism.”
The women fighting the good fight: “I think any woman that breaks conventional rules, stereotyping, is fighting the good fight. Whether that’s Michelle Obama, whether it’s Serena Williams, whether it’s Grimes ? any successful athlete, any engineer, any producer, I mean, everybody’s at it.”
On social media: “There’s so much pressure on young women to be beautiful, to put a photograph up on social media and have people go, ‘Wow, you’re so beautiful.? Unfortunately it’s such an empty pursuit, really, to be told you’re beautiful. It’s kind of meaningless because there will always be another beautiful woman to follow. Ironically, when I was my youngest and most beautiful I felt the most pressure. I was always feeling that I was falling short and, you know, looking back, I was young and beautiful, and I didn’t know I was, I was oblivious to that fact. I think women really need to shift their focus onto something that creates a foundation for them as they grow through life. Nobody stays young and beautiful forever; therefore, build a platform on which you can stand through storms. As I’ve gotten older ? I have focussed on things that I consider much more important. I want to be a great writer, I want to be good at what I do, I want to go on stage and blow people away.”

During the presidential election, I watched an interview with Gloria Steinem in which she talked about watching women in their 20s come to the slow realization that the world was still a really sh-tty place to be a woman. While Steinem said some/many problematic things during the election, the fundamental truth of that interview stuck with me: that teenage girls and women in their 20s grew up in an era where they were told they were equal, that they had a level playing field, that they could do anything a man could do. And by the time we get to our 30s, we?ve seen enough of the world to know that all of that was a lie. I imagine women are feeling that even more in the wake of the election. Anyway, I agree with what Shirley says here, although I wouldn?t necessarily call it ?complacency.? I think ?naivet? might be a better word for it, especially since two generations of women have now been raised with the fundamental lie that they are equal, that there is a level playing field, that there isn?t a separate set of rules for them.

Even though Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher got pap?d a lot in the past six months or so, it really didn?t feel like we were inundated with news about Mila?s second pregnancy. I have noticed that the tabloids and gossip press tends to go easier with second pregnancies though, so maybe that?s one explanation. Another explanation is that Mila and Ashton just weren?t in everybody?s faces this year. In any case, Mila and Ashton have welcomed their second child: a boy!
Oh, boy: Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are parents again! The married former That ?70s Show costars have welcomed their second child, a son, a rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The new addition was born on Wednesday, Nov. 30. He joins big sister Wyatt Isabelle, 2. A rep for Kutcher, 38, and Kunis, 33 ? who were married in a low-key ceremony in July 2015 ? confirmed the exciting news of their second child on the way exclusively to PEOPLE in June. And in October, Kutcher spilled the beans on baby number two?s sex.
?She points to Mila and she?s like, ?Baby brother!? when she points to the belly,? the star of Netflix?s The Ranch said on the Today show of how Wyatt was preparing to be a big sister.
But Kutcher couldn?t help telling Seth Meyers that he had secretly hoped to have another little girl because he wants a big family.
?First of all ? our first girl is unbelievable. But also I figured if we had a girl second, [Mila] might give me one more shot at having a boy and now I don?t know!? he said on Late Night with Seth Meyers in October. ?It?s even money ? she might cut me off!?

When I was a kid, I was sort of obsessed with when various people?s birthdays fell throughout the year. My birthday generally coincided with the start of the school year, which I actually liked (and I still like my September birthday). But I always felt sorry for the kids who had late November birthdays, because it felt like they had ?Thanksgiving birthdays? and who wants a birthday party with (leftover) turkey? As an adult though, I think Thanksgiving birthdays sound rather nice. Those are the kids and adults who probably get to see their families for their birthdays every year. And who doesn?t like leftover turkey?
Also: do you think Ashton and Mila will have another one? If he wants another, I think he?ll probably be able to talk her into it.
