Just realized that Rosario Dawson is a few years older than Charlie Cox too! The show definitely has some issues with its treatment of women, but at least they got the casting right.

Watching the show I could not take my eyes off of her. I had a similar inability to control the male gaze watching Mary Steenbergen on Justified. Well, and everything else that she has ever done, but also Justified.

And not just any 25-year-old, she has to be a nuclear physicist trapped in the body of a cheerleader who’s the only person in the world who can *help* the male hero solve whatever the problem is.

A 36 year old actress would be cast as the mother of a 32 year old male lead.

I was just remarking to my husband how refreshing it is that in Daredevil Kingpin’s (Vincent D’Onofro) girlfriend Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer) is 45. She’s gorgeous, but definitely looks her age...D’Onofrio is still 10 years older than she is but baby steps and all.

Honestly, I'm 33 and I would say I look 33, not much younger or older but I'm invisible now. Which is nice in the sense that I don't get harassed much anymore but it also makes me feel like I'm not desirable anymore. Luckily I got other shit going on so I don't worry about it too much.

Same here. The only thing that gets ‘looks’ when I’m in public is my son. He has long, stunningly beautiful, blonde hair and people usually stare at him, trying to figure out if he is a boy or a girl in ‘boys’ clothing.

55/2+7=34.5

I’m 32 and because of my age and lack of “hotness,” I am practically invisible. The ad with Mindy Kaling going through the grocery store eating ice cream could be my life. (Edited b/c my grammar is terrible before the first cup of coffee/tea.)

At least she can laugh about it, because I’m still in the head-exploding stage. I’m in the same age-range as Ms. Gyllenhaal and my mom is in her mid-50’s (dad is late 50’s).

This article talks about the phenomenon in Hollywood where men age and women don’t pretty effectively, with charts!

Yeah, that’s the weird thing. The acknowledgement of how being a stay at home mom (or dad for that matter) is hard as fuck is great and a wonderful step in the right direction. But something about the breadwinner shelling out the dough on some weird unspecified criteria seems false. I prefer the whole we’re in this…

Yeah, this is NOT a trend. This is a white lady being self-important enough to think that the people she heard some gossip about are important enough to write a fucking New York Times article on. Guarantee this author knows of a small group of super rich SAHM who gossip about each other and speculated that ONE of…

Are these marriages or business contracts? And what happens when the looks-a-decade-younger woman is replaced by a newer, shinier model?

Honestly, I think the only solution that wouldn’t rub me the wrong way is treating all the household money as completely shared funds. If you both wanted one person to stay home and manage the household/children, then treat that as equally valuable to the person who works. Otherwise it gets into this scenario where a…

I don’t get the hate. Is it jealousy? My mother is a stay at home mom and has been fully dependent on my father for finances. Getting money as rewards for what my siblings have done to spend as she sees fit is baller and a thing to respect. Yes, I’ll do these things but you better appreciate them mister.

No one even thought of working after having kids, and few have any plans to go back even when the kids have left home.

My wife and I have a great relationship. We both work our butts off. Because one of my children needs special care she’s made the decision to stay home and be the “hard working from home” partner in our relationship. If I made tons of money I would fucking shower her with money and gifts at every opportunity. I don’t…

The lesson here, to me, is that we’ve so absorbed and believed in the idea of romantic love being the primary, if not only, reason to partner with someone, we reject any other mutually agreed upon, compensated arrangement as perverse. And an assumption that a woman in such an arrangement isn’t respected, is being…

I fucking loved this article because, just like watching any installment of the Real Housewives franchise, allows me to feel morally superior.
