"He has washed his underpants” would imply they are wahsed, but still maybe wet, though the imperfect “He was washing his underpants” means he stopped, whatever the condition of the underpants. I wondered if there not further possibilities, such as the future pluperfect continuous conditional , “He would have had to have been stopping washing ….”, ( Past tense), or “He will have had to be have used to have been stopping”. I dare not try the negatives or question forms."

Name: Anne Hathaway
Dates: 1982-present
Why she rocks: She is an actress, known for her diverse roles from the Princess Diaries, to the Devil Wears Prada, Brokeback Mountain, Alice in Wonderland, The Dark Knight Rises, and many more, including Tom Hooper’s upcoming Les Miserables movie. In addition to all her acting credentials, Anne Hathaway frequently campaigns for LGBT rights and has spoken for the HRC about marriage equality.
Quote: I believe I’ve always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn’t do something because I was a girl.
Because of this woman… a talented and beautiful actress is working as a great ally for social justice.
Engaged at age five, Kakenya Ntaiya was supposed to undergo ritual circumcision by the time she was a teenager — an event that would mark the end of her education and the beginning of her preparations for marriage.
Holding fast to dreams of becoming a teacher, Kakenya negotiated with her father: she would go through the ceremony only if she could also finish high school. He agreed.
After completing high school, she negotiated with the village elders to do what no girl had ever done: leave her Maasai village of Enoosaen to go to college in the United States. The girl who grew up without electricity wrote papers on international relations and political science on the computers in the university library.
Kakenya earned her doctorate in education and is now a passionate activist for girls’ education. She has experienced firsthand the freedom and opportunity afforded a secondary education, and now she’s realizing her dream to provide the same for the girls of Enoosaen.
In May 2009, 32 girls from the region enrolled at the Kakenya Center for Excellence, the girls’ school Kakenya built in her village. One year later, enrollment has doubled and continues growing.
I had the honor of meeting Dr.Ntaiya today and her grace, compassion, EMPATHY, intelligence, and commitment to working with girls and women in her community is truly humbling. At thirty four, her wisdom and ability to get at the root of issues is remarkable - she encompasses what I hope to be able to do for my own community and embodies the kind of skills and determination I want to possess to support others who are doing the same.

Awesome woman.
"As a society, we encourage girls and women to be emotionally accessible, and in touch with their feelings; we say that it’s an innately feminine trait. We say it, that is, until they have feelings that make us uncomfortable, at which point we recast them as melodramatic harpies, shrieking banshees, and basket cases."
