I don't think it's fair to claim that the woman is a villain. It's controversial to claim that a cis man shouldn't play a trans woman (playing outside of race is generally seen as problematic, but playing outside gender or orientation are generally accepted, so long as the goal isn't to mock.), and it's more than a…

Until society ceases to treat sex-workers in a hands-off fashion as members of an Untouchables style-caste, it's going to be comprised predominantly by people with few alternatives and little choice. Those women who do work willingly in the profession seldom fess up to it, simply because doing so is social and career…

It's done so that the wotas and other creepers can pick which girl(s) from a group to obsess over over to the greatest extent.

Yep. It's in Bologna, Italy.In fact, there are a number of lactating fountains in Italy:

"He swordfights."

Serious question — do the anti-sex work folks feel that male prostitutes still glorify the sex industry and therefore aid or assist in trafficking of young girls?I can see arguments go either way.

As a BDSM, erm, practitioner, I can say Fifty Shades is pretty soft-core stuff. Beyond that, I thought the only way the movie would be at all successful would be if it pushed the envelope in some way.* I'm now convinced the film will be a total dud.

*I'm not necessarily talking about graphic depiction, but at the…

As the years go by, the degree of Moffat's misogyny continues to astound me. His female Sherlock characters go beyond failing the Bechdel test so fucking hard, and he created by far the worst version of Irene Adler in any Holmes fiction — not only does she not defeat Holmes, she ends up a damsel in distress in a…

Everyone has already pointed out how amazing She-Devil is; I just want to point out that Bullock had many worse movies than Love Potion No. 9 — everything in the Speed series, for example.

No, your perspective is definitely valid. I've got big problems with people comparing this to a teacher/student dynamic, because it's entirely different.

Strong with failure, this one is.

Here is the thing, though — it's an unwritten rule in NYC that in a half-empty car it's completely acceptable to lounge out until an influx makes it necessary to compact your body. Many of the photos on that blog are of cars with empty seats...

Part of me wonders if some of the people submitting photos are trolling…

Racism in the Orthodox community? Shocking!

What an inconsiderate jerk this guy is — he should cut off his legs before daring to use public transport.

Oh my effing God. This one, from December 12 of last year, really stands out to me.

I've got a real problem with victims of sexual violence being told they're bonding through misogyny. What an abhorrent human being you are.

Except that many victims of sexual assault, myself included, would argue her definition of all PiV sex as synonymous with rape as fucking ridiculous and insulting to rape victims. If anyone is taking a shit on other women, it's this witchwind person.

Thanks for the link. Wish PZ hadn't claimed radfems are the "flip side" of MRAs. Paints over both the discrepancies in power between the groups as well as the distinction between trans-inclusive radfem movements (minority though they may be) and TERFs.

If the item in question were a bowl of homemade butterscotch pudding, I'd see where Groban was coming from. As it is, coke and ice cold grapes are a wash.

Your opinion is garbage.
