Just going to make the point having now read both articles, Berlatzky's dig was how the show deals with men when it does, NOT with the ratio of representation of the show. Most of the article is dedicated to it or specifically the systemic injustice that occurs within the criminal justice system. The…

I don't agree with his decision to make his point using OITNB, but I also think the rage in response to the article is REALLY misplaced.
Why is he "on the hook" in the first place? He's making points here about our gendered understanding of victimization in prisons and the legal system, a very real issue for millions of mostly-not-white men in the US. I don't think it was the best idea to make this point using OITNB but a whole shitload of people are…
Maybe you should use your curiousity to actually look... Berlatsky is a feminist, and he writes about feminism and women in the media all the time.
Bowling is a college sport?
There's a college world series?
Doesn't every team need a batboy?
haha shut up you dumb shiteating nerd
One of my biggest pet peeves is when people making a left turn swing their car slightly to the right to make a bigger turn. A lot of times they get over in the other lane and that's dangerous.
You're one person. One example doesn't trump the argument being made.
I don't know if it's fair to say that she ignored that, so much as strong female characters (or lack thereof) were not the focus of this particular video, as this video was specifically about background characters
You missed these:
The six-word horror story.
Sorry Edgar, your boys club has always had women in it, a lot of women.
There are more adult women playing games then pre-teen boys who publishers seem to think are still their bread and butter. If games don't show more diversity they'll just perpetuate that this is a boys club - which alienates them to a market that is 51 % of the Earth's population. That's not smart business. That's…
There is a whole lot of information missing here but my first impression is that it's really sad that we live in such a restrictive gender specific world where a cis girl can't enjoy baseball, soccer, playing drums etc without her parents thinking there's something wrong and that those things are SO boy specific. I…
Who needs all these fancy new doodads. You don't know what livin' is 'til you drive a team of horse like I used to. All these ridiculous wires you stick in your ears to hear a bunch of caterwauling from some half-dressed floozie. We didn't need all this new-fangled shit to have fun in my day. We'd just walk out into…
The woman quoted is a social worker, not a psychologist at all, and she never spoke to Funke. So I'm not sure we can chalk this up to a failing of the psychology profession.
Jezebel lets Beyonce off the hook a lot. All the other pop tarts are considered "boring" when they perform half-naked to sexually provocative lyrics but Jezebel acted like Beyonce's Grammy performance was the second coming. The whole "Eat the cake Anna Mae" lyric in Drunk in Love went completely unnoticed by Jezebel…
