    First up, if you spotted McSweeney&#8217;s the other week and saw the mashup
    of PG Wodehouse and (yes) Brett Easton Ellis, <a
    href=\"http:\/\/www.mcsweeneys.net\/2011\/5\/26jones.html\">PG
    Wodehouse&#8217;s American Psycho<\/a>, that was Team BadRep member Rhian.
    Jean, in the Jeeves role, is neatly recast as the brains behind Bateman
    literally getting away with murder. Nice one!<\/li>\n
  </li>
  <li>
    Following on from that, Rhian blogs about gender and being a fan of
    <strong
      >American Psycho<\/strong> over on <a
      href=\"http:\/\/velvetcoalmine.wordpress.com\/2011\/05\/26\/on-liking-american-psycho\/\">her
      own blog, Velvet Coalmine<\/a>. (It&#8217;s been a busy week for Rhian;
      she&#8217;s already exploded VS Naipaul&#8217;s bizarre blathering without
      even trying, as several McSweeney readers immediately assumed she
      <em
        >must<\/em> be male on the basis of her writing&#8230;)\n<\/li>\n
        <li>
          Texas! Not a good place to be a feminist! Right? Or&#8230; is it?
          Andrea Grimes over on Reality Check asks and answers the question: <a

          Should Feminists Stay In The Lone Star State? <\/a><\/li>\n

          Been up a couple of weeks now, but Michelle Dean at The Awl draws
          together the range of responses to

              Empowering Girls blog pops to Hamleys.<\/a> I knew they had floors
              for &#8220;GIRLS&#8221; and &#8220;BOYS&#8221;, but sometimes you
              need a pictorial tour to really get the reality of what that
              <em
                >means.<\/em> Christ. When I take random detours into Hamleys of
                an afternoon (and I do, because I like seeing what kids are
                into, PLUS I refuse to grow up), I stick to the ground floor,
                with all the gadgets and the 15-foot plush giraffe. And&#8230;
                well, I just remembered why. Also notable: why are all the art
                materials apparently on the &#8220;Girls&#8221; floor? I mean,
                seriously? <\/li>\n
