"Hello lovely readers...and welcome back to my quick roundup of the week&amp;amp;#8217;s big events. Between Halloween and the election, I have a feeling we&amp;amp;#8217;re going to have some rowdy debates about this batch! Weigh in, after the jump... 1. DO OF THE WEEK: THE &amp;amp;#8220;MY SON IS GAY&amp;amp;#8221; BLOG POST Big cheer for blogger Cop&amp;amp;#8217;s Wife&amp;amp;#8212;a 35-year-old yes, cop&amp;amp;#8217;s wife in Missouri&amp;amp;#8212;who posted earlier this week about how her five-year-old son dressed up as Daphne from Scooby Doo for Halloween...and exactly what happened when the mean moms at his pre-school got all judgey on him. I read the post on my phone in the airport yesterday, and by the time I got to security I had a lump in my throat, angry at a world that could be cruel to a kid, but moved by the author&amp;amp;#8217;s refusal to take it. &amp;amp;#8220;He rocked that wig,&amp;amp;#8221; she writes, &amp;amp;#8220;and I wouldn&amp;amp;#8217;t want it any other way.&amp;amp;#8221; 2. DON&amp;amp;#8217;T OF THE WEEK: THE ADULT ONESIE Seriously, look at it&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;amp;#8217;s like a Snuggie in PJ form. You could argue, I suppose, that it&amp;amp;#8217;s comfy and cushy and after a long day, who doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t want that? You could also argue that it&amp;amp;#8217;s shorthand for: &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;ve given up on life.&amp;amp;#8221; I say it&amp;amp;#8217;s a Don&amp;amp;#8217;t. Where do you guys come out on this slouchy bit of slumpiness? 3. DO OF THE WEEK: CELEBRATING &amp;amp;#8220;MOVEMBER&amp;amp;#8221; Have you heard of it? My friends at UK Glamour tell me that in Britain and Australia, men grow their mustaches over the course of November to raise awareness for cancers that affect men. (Apparently 255,755 &amp;amp;#8216;mos&amp;amp;#8212;as they call them&amp;amp;#8212;were grown last year, and loads of money raised for the LIVESTRONG Foundation, among other causes.) The whole thing ends with big parties where men show off their &amp;amp;#8216;staches. Look, prostate and testicular cancer are serious business&amp;amp;#8212;I love this idea! Yes, even on my husband. Maybe. I think. 4. DON&amp;amp;#8217;T OF THE WEEK: OBSESSING ABOUT BREAKUP SEASON Yes, there is one: According to the breakup predictor that&amp;amp;#8217;s suddenly everywhere (created by&amp;amp;#8212;what else?&amp;amp;#8212;analyzing Facebook status updates), the weeks leading up to Christmas are the most popular for calling it quits. (Our Smitten bloggers call this syndrome the Thanksgiving &amp;amp;#8220;Turkey Drop.&amp;amp;#8221;) But let&amp;amp;#8217;s not all spend the next six weeks in a stressed-out ball of relationship worry, OK? There&amp;amp;#8217;s nothing that dooms a romance like a Dead Girlfriend Walking. Be confident! You can beat the statistics. 5. DO OF THE WEEK: MORE &amp;amp;#8220;FIRSTS&amp;amp;#8221; FOR WOMEN This week, Republicans Nikki Haley and Susana Martinez became the country&amp;amp;#8217;s first two women of color to serve as governors. (South Carolina&amp;amp;#8217;s Haley is Indian-American; New Mexico&amp;amp;#8217;s Martinez is Latina.) Both women are Tea Party candidates, opposed&amp;amp;#8212;among other things&amp;amp;#8212;to abortion rights, so you may or may not share their political POVs. The point is this: Women come in all political stripes, and our candidates should too&amp;amp;#8212;the more women who serve in office, the quicker it is for future women to run and be evaluated not on the novelty of being a female candidate, but on their views, plain and simple. That&amp;amp;#8217;s a Do. Agree? Disagree? Do tell...and come back next week to hear about my favorite night of the year, our Women of the Year Awards, being held Monday at Carnegie Hall.
