I am in LOVE this "women aren't wired for sex" thing because it just gives itself away as being based on nothing more than societal mores.

I thought there was actually a code/rule/whatever in the US military that mandates that women look "feminine enough"? I seem to recall something of the sort when I was looking into why women didn't just buzz their heads like the other dudes (or for that matter, why they were not required to do it like the men - seems…

This is what I want too.

On the Bechdel test website, it is listed as a fail.

It also labours under the presumption that the speaker is not doing just that, which is incredibly patronizing and condescending.

Yes. Your post reminded of the inevitable arrival (or at least, inevitable on tumblr). But I don't think you're in groupie territory. :)

I'm working on my [science fiction] novel right now, hanging out in all kinds of writerly circles and my god is there a ton of belly-aching going on over the Bechdel test. People (of all genders!) twisting themselves into a pretzel with more zeal than a garter snake on hard drugs, trying to explain HOW and WHY their…

They just don't really talk to each other. There isn't too much of it in the books either (understandable, I suppose, since it is Harry's PoV), but in the movies their speaking roles are even more reduced. Like, Hermione would talk to Ron and Harry, Ginny would talk to Ron and Harry, Harry and Hermione might talk…

Oh god, here comes the Mako Mori Groupie.

I always joke that if I ever wear skirts outside, I'd wear them with boxer underwear that has scary monster teeth/eyes printed on the vadge area. Like, have fun with your vagina dentata! :D

Some dude was posting on a friend's Facebook wall all these helpful "suggestions" that if women don't want attention from men, they shouldn't dress like they "want it", because dudes will inevitably want to "enjoy the view".

How about some webcomics? I like more sci-fi-ish/fantasy stuff, and these have been amazing.

The way I took it was kind of like...

"...they long to have a man around who would pay the bills and take care of them and make a life for them in which they could work less"

Oh geez. I was like, hmmm... something about this combination sounds familiar, but I just can't place it... But gosh, it's just on the tip of my tongue...

Oh god, my very educated and progressive mother asked me that the other day.

I'm going to be honest, from my own perspective, listening/reading someone say "I/you/we/they don't believe in evolution" is completely bizarre.

I'm seriously not trying to be a jerk. Honest.

My god, it's beautiful. I'm dying over here.
