I ultimately think you can't win here. Any story about reproduction is going to be inherently sexist because our biology is sexist. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have sexes.

Agreed.

I'm really not convinced about how the sexism of this trope. In humans, only women can get pregnant- that's not a choice of writers, it's a fact of life. So yes, mystical pregnancy will happen mostly to female characters. And it's not like mainstream fiction is totally devoid of Mister Seahorse stories.

The grandmother drove the girl back to the school, called her a liar and forced her to apologize for lying to the teachers and the principal. They should have reported it anyway just so it could be investigated, but damn. That lady sounds like she was a horrible person. :(

Do you really think those dudes go on without makeup? I would be really interested in a news program with a male lead doing the same thing, actually. Hannity? Have you got the balls to do this? No? I thought not.

"Swap out 'intelligence' for 'artistry' and you've got exactly what Ciaralli was saying in his statement about Biles and black gymnasts."

This is bogus logic. You give us fine examples of studies showing how "intelligence" is used racially in athletics. But then you simply swap "artistry" for "intelligence" and claim —…

Shrek was 2001, so let's start around there (and we'll include Disney tv and dvd movies since they are the company in question). In addition we'll include female gender specific title like girl and princess, since that was the original argument about "Snow Queen" getting changed to "Frozen"

The Princess Diaries
The…

Yeah, it's a bit interesting to see how people are basically complaining that Disney has gone too far in including boys, when in the past, boys had two roles in Disney movies: heroic prince or very bad man. (Talk about a lack of role model.)

This is just horrible and offensive. Haven't Native Americans been through enough without being associated with the city of Cleveland?

How about the fabled Amber Room, the one that was in Tsarskoye Selo, Catherine Palace, and disappeared during WW2?

Maybe one with a South African style flamethrower carjacker deterrent/pepper spray dispenser/machine gun to keep the riff raff away when they get too close.

So this originated when this Lien guy refused to stop when they tried to block the highway, presumably to perform some sick Hollywood Stunts?

You haven't missed anything. It is absolutely, without a doubt, batshit insane.

If the two parties don't agree on a budget, then all non-essential spending (as you're noticing, this includes most of NASA) gets halted until they come up with something. Every. Single. Year. Forever and ever, amen.

Seriously?...Ollie?...A girl's name?

"Jessie" is NOT a unisex name. "Jessie" is short for "Jessica"; it's a girl's name. "Jesse" is a boys name. "Jesse" was the father of King David in the bible. It's a very, VERY old name.

I swear if one more goddamn barista puts "Jessie" on my coffee cup...

Ugggggggggggggh Peyton, Dakota, and Riley.

In other words, you were all set to write a Jez article criticizing critics for obsessing about Kate's weight. When they didn't come, you had to write your article anyway, so you wrote an article about the lack of critics obsessing about Kate's weight. Okeedoke.

Nikola Tesla did not believe in radio waves, unfortunately. One of his biggest mistakes. In an early article, he claimed that all alleged radio transmission was due to electric currents in the ground. When challenged by the fact that radio could be sent to airplanes, he responded that this was just an induction…

But there he functioned largely as the butt of a joke, didn't he? The Mission Impossible people probably wouldn't have come knocking quite as many times if he didn't look exactly the same as he always has

Albert, you know I love you, but ranking yellow mustard above spicy brown means you're either a psychopathic criminal or horrible things were done to you as a child. Or both.
