  • Irish novelist Maeve Binchy passed away earlier this week. Instead of looking back at her career, The Telegraph decided to post a piece by British novelist Amanda Craig in which the author suggested Binchy would have been a better writer had she been a mother. She writes, “Does a female novelist need to have experienced motherhood to truly understand human emotions?” Read all about it at The Frisky.

We’ve seen and heard very little of Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing film project for a while. This is one of a few newly released photos. The anticipation is killing us! (via Film Stage)

  • Jezebel has a nice round-up of Olympic nail art.
  • The MMORPG Star Wars: The Old Republic is introducing a free-to-play option this fall! (via Geek Mom)

The other day, we showed you a picture of Hugh Jackman on the set of The Wolverine. Here is another picture from the same set that I’m just gonna leave here. (via Comic Book Movie)

    “Does a female novelist need to have experienced motherhood to truly understand human emotions?”
    I can not accurately express how much this angers, hurts and offends me. In all likely hood I CAN’T have children due to medical issues and SHOULDN’T have children due to other unrelated medical issues. You NEVER fucking EVER see someone make the same claim about fatherhood.

    Screw you Amanda Craig.

     Yes.
    I have my own issues with the morality of childbearing, but this is beyond all good taste.

    Binchy and her husband were childless, as in they wanted children. This was published on the day of her funeral, and she is survived by her husband. I really hope he doesn’t stumble upon this “article”.

    And that’s without going into the wider implications of the piece. Who on earth thought that was appropriate to publish in a national newspaper? Disgusting.

    I can really only think of one word for that concept (having to have babies in order to understand feelings) BARF.
    Some of my favorite people are mothers.. including my own mother… some of my other favorite people, including myself, aren’t.. 
    And, would anyone effing say that about a man (should be  a father in order to be a good writer) no they would not. 
    eat a turd, Ms Craig. Eat a turd.
