So, I bring you a series of Doctor Who and Torchwood characters (and some OCs, apparently) drawn as the artist thinks they would look if they all happened to be lions. I have to say, I think Jack and the Doctor look all wrong, but Gwen and Martha look very much like themselves. If they were lions. Of course, I am ignoring the sexual dimorphism in lions, particularly with regard to mane and tail tufts. And also the fact that lions don't come in blue. But I think when one is drawing a time-travelling immortal alien who at the moment looks strangely like David Tennant, except when he looked like Christopher Eccleston, or Paul McGann, or -- you get the idea -- these small facts of leonine biology can be safely ignored.
Also, earlier I had been trying to find a URL for that Carl Sagan "Wibbly wobbly timey-wimey ...stuff" icon to show to a friend, so if anyone has that, cool.

I can't even look at the 'Wicca is a cult' thing. All I can do is ridicule his second-level conclusions because the first are so totally bad.
There were a few people I knew who fell into the Pretentious Ass, Stirrer of Shit category. One was politely loathed by many of the bio majors-- hint to PA,SoS everywhere: do not screw over your partners in Animal Physiology lab. Charismatic enough to nurture a small crush, but ultimately... PASoS. Another was his friend, the third was their friend and while I sympathize greatly with her predicament (IWU! So enlightened in our white upper-class suburban bubble that our hate crimes explicitly reference the biology program!) still, a bit on the PASoS side.
These people are usually charismatic, because otherwise, no one would listen to them.
I also hope you find some readings that do not insert bad dichotomies. I often do in my own life-- I see things as masculine or feminine, but this is sloppy thinking. IWU bio is generally feminine because my year, we had five or six guys total and the professors I liked best were female, plus Dr Bollivar who wasn't exactly chatty. UIowa is split down the middle, two programs, one male, one female.
I can't find the end to this comment. Le sigh.
They are charismatic. I've noticed that. It's annoying because unlike with normal creeps, my Creepy Detectors are only effective about a quarter of the time, and people are even less likely to listen to me. (After all, I am not charismatic. I must therefore be jealous.)
And yeah, I have a Try Not To Have Crushes On Lab Partners policy, just because it tends to result in awkardness, but they've made it pretty easy for me not to do that anyway, because I usually either get female lab partners or, uh, the ones who like to play during their live and conscious dissections. I like live dissections because I learn more, not because the specimens are hilarious in their death throes. But YMMV.
I just can't get into the masculine/feminine dichotomy. At all. I'm not really sure why. I think it's probably that I've spent most of my life preferring nongirly stuff and automatically adjusting my IT'S DEFINITELY GENDER NEUTRAL blinkers and LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU brand earplugs so the assumed male audience/consumer/participant wouldn't bug me too much.
(Although, my apparently weird tastes are REALLY fun when someone in fandom decides to label certain kinds of storytelling methods or ships or whatever according to which gender or sexual preference enjoys them, because according to their thinking I ought to be male and/or I completely shouldn't be within their
twenty-first century labelscategorizations of gay/bi/straight. I may not be him, but I really need a Jack Harkness icon for such situations.)
