Could someone a bit better versed in feminism explain a couple of things to me here?

1. It was my understanding that that was okay now? I mean Beyonce seems to be the darling of this site and that's what she does. Of course it doesn't excuse Scherzinger for being judgmental, but isn't attacking her personally kind of…

Thank you!!! Christ.

Yeah, she's terrible and evil and t's all very emotive.

"Reports of women being murdered for disobeying the Druze rules have been previously reported." Apparently the Daily Mail's fact-checker in chief is also their proof-reader.

Kthxbye

Did you have something to actually add, or...?

I did. Every time I switch on the TV or open a magazine there's an advert telling me that I'll be rewarded with women if I buy this or that brand of deodorant.

Okay then Jezebel. Way to engage in exactly the same behaviour while claiming to be morally superior to it. Seems legit.

Why do Americans say "right-wing" when they mean "extremist christian"?

Way to legitimise a fringe group of religious nutjobs.

"But the objectification of men is a false equivalency to the objectification of women, because what's being fetishized is strength. Virility, capability, vigor, fortitude. Power."

Nope. Washboard abs are totally independent from - and often, inversely proportional to - actual physical strength. If strength were what…

"This is also why (for me), the idea of an atheist convention is so stupid. It's like holding a rally for people who don't believe in vampires. We have nothing to prove."

"Maybe she is trying to do the #1 most unhelpful thing we are taught to do in social settings: pretend everything is okay. Repeat after me: Everything is not okay, and that's okay."

Is the "Everything is Awesome" thing not a parody of the shitty values of contemporary pop music? Is that not what anyone else got from that? Am I the only one?

I read somewhere that the WBC is actually a kind of professional troll. They picket funerals, get themselves sued, and then when the case is overturned on free speech grounds they sue back and get fat stacks.

If you've ever wondered how it's possible for the members of WBC to hate so much, the notion that it all comes…

I am a guy, so that will temper my input, and I realise that - but over here in the UK people call each other bossy all the time and there's no obvious gender bias to the word. An adult man and an adult female can equally be "bossy".

Don't get me wrong, there are still loads of gendered, sexist terms that are often…

Not a video game, I know, but this tune could be made for lifting weights.

Of course it's still incredibly sexist, but perhaps a subversion of the adage "A woman's place is in the ___" (Home, kitchen, whatever) is actually what they're going for?

Ah, okay. I have seen that a lot actually, thanks for explaining.

What's BWDIT? I looked it up but I can't reference to it anywhere?

Surely the one thing is going to "distract from actually talking about those guys" is, you know, just having a go at "men" and not actually talking about those guys.
