Stop the planet, I want off.
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…
How do these defense attorneys live with themselves? And, if I understand correctly, one of the lawyers is a woman? After a certain point, "just doing my job" shouldn't cut it as an excuse.
This is why women who have been in the military weep when their daughters enlist ...
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…
You lost me at " women don't age as well as men." Biologically speaking, that is bullshit. Non-biologically speaking, it's also bullshit. Unless you adhere to what Hollywood standards tell you is "beauty". I shouldn't even have to direct you to examples of "beauty" in different cultures. We're talking subjectivity and…
It seems that in a military court, victim is synonymous with "enemy combatant."
Just... what the ever-living fuck?! Seriously? So it is not allowed to ask such things in regular court, but they can and will use those tactics in military court. Wow, stay classy, guys! Stay classy!
Ah, I see the irony now. I didn't mean to convey that men don't have any body issues, I added it to express the disbelief I felt that he would ask a woman if she had any body insecurities. I guess I feel like that goes without saying for most of us. Sorry.
The timing of this is interesting as I was just looking up Linda Fiorentino last night. Other than a photo from few years back, I got zip. All I could gather from the "what the fuck ever happened to her" search is that she is 55 now. That and bad mouthing from Kevin Smith is apparently all that is required to…
Meanwhile Dame Judi Dench is still sitting pretty. I also know from personal experience that she is an absolutely amazing woman.
Oh yeah. I saw that movie and was like, "um....did you mean 'post-doc'? Where's your PI, kiddo?"
I had similar thoughts when the Bond movies tried to sell a 27 year old Denise Richards to me as an accomplished nuclear physicist. Really. REALLY.
Yeah, and, and, AND - there's a black president so obviously racism is over.
a movie about Sigourney Weaver or Linda Hamilton or Holly Hunter as an aging detective/gunslinger/Swiss Army knife badass who has to solve one last murder mystery for the LAPD a day before she retires
It's not just the age thing, it's also the unrealistic beauty standards. Almost every goddamn movie and TV show I see has hardly any average looking women, but plenty of average looking dudes. Michael Sera, Seth Rogan, Zack Galifianakis, Jim Belushi etc. etc. etc. get all sorts of work, but it seems like 99% of the…
They are old as soon as they are no longer very young.
