I'll take grumbling for $200, Alex

I shared a couple links on my Facebook tonight, and while one is awesome, the other made me go "ugh."
I will grace you with the headlines only: "Internationally acclaimed barrister Amal Alamuddin marries an actor." ... "Jeopardy had a 'What Women Want' category and it was unbelievably sexist."
Again, one makes me smile because it's perfect. The other makes me fear for the future of my gender, as well as the gender that seems to think it knows better. One values women as members of society. One reduces them to tropes. One embraces individuality. One lumps all women into a single-minded group.
I'm at once pleased and horrified by the news of the day. *sigh*
