Yeah. I kept thinking how it was like debate in high school - the Dems were like the kids who took it seriously and showed up to the competition thoroughly researched and prepared, whereas the Republicans were like the douchebros who joined debate because they heard nerdy girls give it up easy and when it comes to

I don’t drive, because I live in a country with excellent public transport so there is no need to drive if you live in an urban area. I also got a year’s paid leave with my son, get free health care, paid sick leave, subsidized child care, free higher education and I have never worried that I would be the victim in a

Right, like that’s the bar here. What are you complaining about? You can vote. You can drive. You can get a job. Stop whining! But the second I bring up maternal mortality rates (way worse for women of color), or no paid parental leave, etc., it’s “You know, in some places, women can’t do x.” 

I’m surprised they allowed the brunette in.  Seems pretty pretty reckless to allow a non-blonde into the scene here.

This kind of reminds me of my conservative mother’s viewpoint on feminism. I hear a lot of “There are countries where women can’t even drive/vote whatever”. And I’m like dumbfounded that that’s the bar for Republicans. As if we should just be grateful to have basic human rights and not be consistently striving for

Saudi women can drive now; pick up a newspaper.

Women in Saudi Arabia can’t drive? I’d never know that if the GOP didn’t constantly point that out.

“We see so many women across the country right now—Republican women—who are picking up the mantle and want to serve,” Mace said. “They say ‘enough is enough, my kid and my country are worth fighting for.’”

Trump’s campaign misusing a meme doesn’t so much concern me as Trumpo trying to pull literal Nazi shit with an executive order declaring Judaism to be a nationality. Not only is this continuing Trump’s anti-semitic “Jews = Israel” stance, but it’s also another step in justifying deporting Jews. Because if Jews are a

I don’t fully understand this. Can’t you just not watch them? There are a lot of very popular things that I won’t ever enjoy...so I just don’t spend any time or money on them.

Scruggs, who died in 2001, did not sleep with someone to get the story, so the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is demanding the movie release a clear statement exonerating Scruggs.

Exacly. If you really have to show her as a sexy character, then have her go home and cuddle up to her partner or go have a one night stand with someone who is not a source. This plays into the BS stereotypes that fuel misogynists that all women have to offer our looks.

Wilde continued, “It’s a basic misunderstanding of feminism as pious, sexlessness. It happens a lot to women; we’re expected to be one-dimensional if we are to be considered feminists. There’s a complexity to Kathy, as there is to all of us, and I really admired her.”

She’s showing Steve around the contemporary artwork at a museum, only for the man-out-of-time to start intellectually admiring a trash can.

The Good Place isn’t up for anything?

Why wear suits 2 sizes too big or ties 4 inches too long? The man didn’t even know how to properly wear a waistcoat when he met the Queen. The oversized suits “make him look slimmer” and the ties “taller.” I’m sure he believes the orange makes him look healthier. There is literally no rationale to this man’s behavior.

You’re in luck, Scarlett Johansson will almost certainly try and play a black woman in a movie sometime in the next few years. 

Now we know what happened to Chief Hopper from Stranger Things after he ended up in Russia.

But there are a lot of questions about Finn’s past, about Poe’s past, obviously Rey and Kylo, and then some of the new characters we meet.

The new WandaVision show has Kat Dennings as Darcy AND Kathryn Hahn in an unspecified role (possibly Agatha Harkness) and Elizabeth Olson apparently really unleashing Scarlet Witch’s reality-bending powers ... it is the Disney + thing so far that I am most excited about
