oh my god, oh my god, the huntsman - whyyyyy??? His voice and his whole entire self, really, made my ladybits go all delightfully tingly and I miss his sexiness on the show so MUCH!!!!!

FAT IS UNHEALTHY, IT IS THE DEVIL, SHE WILL DIE OF DIABETES TOMORROW IF SHE DOESN'T CRASH DIET THIS INSTANT!

I think that's exactly what lies at the heart of the problem! Basically, female nudity is still always subjected to the male gaze and thus rarely a source of empowerment. Our naked bodies need to be pleasing and appealing to the menz - that's not empowering, that's just buying into patriarchy and turning yourself into…

Nope, they say it because she has a history of drug use.

"Listen, you're pretty, but you need to stop using logic and facts!"

Yep, you nailed it! ... No pun intended...

Easily explained! See, women crave being told that they are beautiful more than anything, obviously, so saying "you are beautiful" puts them in a positive mood and can thus easily be followed by an unfair accusation without upsetting the woman's tender psyche!

My niece (daughter of a skinny woman with exclusively skinny female friends) looooves to be snuggled up with me, and when she had some friends around they were all highly intrigued by my fat body (since all their moms are skinny). It was odd and at first somewhat uncomfortable, but I liked that they had no negative…

I think that's an excellent idea! If everyone would chip in with only a couple of $s we should get a decent amount together. Sending good thoughts to everyone in the US affected by this craziness that I as a German (the nation that basically invented the national health insurance system) still don't really get to be…

No, he isn't in the original book, but the original poster describes that exact trope ("manipulative boyfriend that we feel we can 'fix'") and I do believe many women misread Darcy in such a way.

Oh god, seriously, what IS that all about?!? I've never understood the whole "reformed rake" ideal that some women chase after. Sure, it's kinda hot as a (sex) fantasy, but in real life it's so not hot to constantly be humiliated, being lied to, talk down upon, and having to chase after someone who obviously does NOT…

Darcy and rochester have literally nothing in common, oh well, maybe except that they are both rich. rochester is a emotionally unbalanced oddball with a more than questionable past and Darcy is an ironical (some say satirical, but opinions differ here) take on the "British gentleman."

I hated that movie so, so, so, so, so much!

My ovaries and I would like to thank you for including this crucial piece of information!

HATE that movie SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!! There is absolutely nothing feminist or empowering about that vile piece of cinema and the way it shamelessly (and very poorly) steals from manga and anime pissed me off so much! Also, it was exceptionally boring.

What I hate the most about the whole "badass fighting woman" trope is when they get dressed up in sexy clothes while doing it (Hanna was wonderfully different in that aspect, and the worst one by a mile was Sucker Punch, UGH!). And of course, they also need to have skinny, perfect bodies and amazing hair and make-up,…

Wait...we don't get to see them say goodbye?! It ends with Johnny coming back to dance with her and her dad basically giving them his blessing. Have we watched the same movie?!?

top hat cat is amazing, but yes, it NEEDS a monocle STAT!!!

But I've never heard of women buying themselves a mail order husband...
