As you may have heard, rapper Jay-Z has decided to stop calling women "bitches". Why? Because he now has a daughter.
Well, I'm glad Jay-Z is seeing the light, but it's sad that it took having his own daughter to bring him around. As an alternative, what about empathy? You know, not having a daughter, but still understanding how it must feel to be called a bitch...or indeed, any sexist or degrading name?
As an aside, I'm sitting here mugging up on SOPA and PIPA, and panicking. "What about porn, goddammit?" I cry, while my housemate nods sagely. But, mumbling and huffing aside, did you hear that barrier contraception will now definitely be mandatory in LA porn? Crikey, I wonder what colors of condom we'll be seeing. Black? Scarlet? Rainbow?
The mind, as usual, boggles.

It's funny how Jay-Z boosted his moral code as well as his IQ after having a daughter. A small start, but definitely towards the right way.
