Yes.

A tampon is the least sexy thing, like, ever. I don't even.

So, Mr. Smith, before you were stabbed were you wearing a shirt? When the knife pierced your chest did you specifically tell your attacker to stop? When he stabbed you the second time did you bother to say "No" in a firm clear voice? When you walked around being a jerk earlier in the day, weren't you pretty much…

In case you didn't know: this young midshipman didn't even want to press charges. She knew she'd been raped and figured she could skip the part where she'd be ritually burned at the stake and blamed for her rape in front of her peers while simultaneously having her career ruined. She wasn't even allowed agency in the…

It seems that in a military court, victim is synonymous with "enemy combatant."

It's not a question of whether they exist, it's whether that's who Wendy was - and in the book, she wasn't.

furthermore, I fail to see how upsetting people has become the criterion for judging books now.

Maybe talk to the child of an alcoholic before you dismiss it as "safe horror".

I don't think the misogyny he's referring to is that Jack is abusive though. He means that the Wendy he wrote had more agency than the cowering movie-Wendy; Kubrick reduced an interesting woman into a helpless victim type.

Are you sure that's what it was and not the government using PRISM to disrupt Kinja and detract from my efforts to get the truth out about this?

my point is that it ruined my enjoyment of that film due to how frustrated it made me.

Well but Mr. King, to be fair, see Mr. Kubrick was trying to make a secret-coded movie about how we fake landed on the moon and stuff so sometimes when you're doing that it is hard to incorporate multi-dimensional female characters. It just is. Just ask anybody who has made a secret-coded movie about how we faked…

Yep - it's a fairly popular topic in certain corners of Christian culture - I'm sure you've heard of Kirk Cameron's "Left Behind" movies, right? All about Revelations -basically, all the bad crap that happens during/after the Rapture. There are even some wicked bad (and hilarious) movies from the 70's - "A Thief In…

I'm a scientician so I believe I can help educate everyone here. Below is a picture (blown up, of course) of the inside of a woman's vugina, where babies are stored.

Yes, but by this logic wouldn't it be better to be on the pill because then you don't ovulate, thus avoiding the massacre of countless zygote-people? Wouldn't a woman's body be a serial killer because of the zygote-people it expels throughout life? Why would god make a woman a serial killer? I mean even if you are…

If I'm not mistaken, Hobby Lobby (at least in the past) refused to use barcodes because of the whole "Revelations/Mark of the Beast" thing. I'm not sure which is actually crazier (spoiler - it is crazy to not provide adequate healthcare AND refuse to use barcodes because the most insane book of the Bible told you…

Tell her that they don't use bar codes because their management believes that they are an actual and literal precursor to the End Times.

My spouse's mother asked me if I wanted to go to Hobby Lobby the other day and I told her no, because of this shit. She stared at me like I'd sprouted wings. I know this is only sort of related to the story, but dammit, it felt good. I might go get myself a cookie.

I don't know why I'm doing this but...
