For the Child [Dan Collins]

I hope this Catherine Gund doesn’t have custody:

Sadie has a daddy and two mommies – and her adoptive mother is suing the child’s biological parents because the unusual family unit was anonymously featured last year in The New York Times Magazine.

Filmmaker Catherine Gund says in court papers that her former lover, poet Melanie Hope, and the gay man who fathered Gund and Hope’s daughter violated a 1996 agreement the three signed prohibiting “commercial or media exploitation.”

Hope and the father, Loring McAlpin, spoke to the magazine for a November 2006 article on gay men fathering* children with lesbian couples, according to court documents.

Another Plame-y defense of privacy.  *In the sense of “siring,” more or less.

Resistance is futile:

“It could just be that women see eating chocolate as more of a problem than men.”  More of a problem than men?   (h/t Hot Air)

I don’t know why men are afraid of this one:

    I just sat back and laughed when I first heard about “gay marriage.” Why? Two words “custody battles.” Don’t get me wrong, I’d assume that gay divorce is going to be a bitch when figuring out the alimony. However, the courts are going to go into fits with the alternative lifestyle custody battles.

    Look at the current state of fathers rights in the family court then add two lesbians. The lawyers have to be licking their chops.

  2. Sticky B says:

    An anagram for Ms Gund’s name is “dung”. Not that there’s anything wrong with it.

    If they had just contacted David Crosby, they would have never had to worry about this.

    I don’t know about anyone else, but I long for the days when the Beaver (that little rascal) would get into a scrape by forgetting his (only) mothers birthday.

    Perhaps the adage ‘only the aged experience nostalgia’ applies here…

    Hello – The unusual family unit was anonymously featured in the magazine. Where is the commercialization, or media exploitation, etc.

    Haven’t released anything recently Catherine? Need your name in the press?

  6. B Moe says:

    “Athey might signify the futility of speech, for example, by having his lips sewn shut onstage.

    But Gund didn’t let a little blood stop her from appreciating Athey’s message. “I really heard what he was saying. I saw the art in it and the intelligence.”

    You just can’t make this shit up.

    “Why are men so scared of successful, attractive, single women?”

    They aren’t. They are simply expressing politically correct disdain for the rich.

  8. I think they’re afraid of that horrible dress. Get a new one, toots.

    She is clearly a tease. Case solved.

  10. maor says:

    Actually, men are afraid of ALL women, but the married women learn to like it.

  11. McGehee says:

    I’m not afraid of women.

    Their lawyers, on the other hand…

  12. nk says:

    I fooled a beautiful, smart, well-educated, successful woman into marrying me about seventeen years ago. But then I never thought of myself as a beta male. “I am not a dog. I am a man. You sonofabitch.”

    “Why are men so scared of successful, attractive, single women?”

    I’d rephrase the question. What sort of attitude does a successful, physically attractive single woman have to project to repel every male she meets?

  14. Radish says:

    What sort of attitude does a successful, physically attractive single woman have to project to repel every male she meets?

    She’s not evaluating every man she meets on his potential earnings. Men hate that.

  15. McGehee says:

    She’s not evaluating every man she meets on his potential earnings. Men hate that.

    In my case, emphasis on the “potential.” And yes, I do hate that they’re not evaluating me on the “potential” part.

  16. maybe it’s just me, but something about her mouth suggests there’s some scary teeth in thar. “teeth like a piano” I think I’ve heard it described.

  17. thor says:

    After you stick the protective mouthpiece in boiling water you shove it the mouth and bite down.

    With customized tooth protection you never have to worry about chipped teeth.

    My wife keeps hers in a glass of water on the nightstand.

  18. ThomasD says:

    The type of traditional man I like – someone equally successful or more successful than me

    It’s axiomatic that someone as successful as Ms. Connell expects to obtain whatever she desires. But perhaps she should consider that the combination of her financial worth & income and her relative youth & physical appearance place her within a very small fraction of the population, much less the single-and-willing-to-commit population. Expecting a potential mate to also conform to her chosen criteria while also lacking in any significant defects is a mightly tall order even for her otherwise uber-successful life.

    We all deserve a mate such as the one she desires. Realistically most all of us end up with some sort of compromise. The truly wise learn to be happy with what they have.

    While attractive overall, she displays a horrific sense of style, and has incredible unappealling legs. Just sayin’
