Defense Attorney: So you were the bank teller when the defendant came in the bank with a mask and gun and handed you a note demanding $1million, is that correct?

Yeah. He’s new to the Presidency, but not corruption and influence and graft and general scumbaggery.
Early in my third trimester of pregnancy, I had a few episodes of itching at night. It was winter in New York, with…
Did she have a hard time? The only story I’ve heard is them voicing concerns about one scene, and that came off more as a bit of fretting rather than actually fighting her.
I hope Jenkins forces them to back a dump truck full of money up to her front door. She deserves it.
“Sources speaking to the Hollywood Reporter say WB decided to wait and see how opening weekend went before deciding to negotiate with Jenkins, and that the studio intends to begin talks soon.”
High school me would just have just said fuck it and chucked the bra. If you thought the straps were distracting wait until you see these G’s sway.
If, like us, after seeing Wonder Woman you’d pray to the entire pantheon on Olympus to be watching Wonder Woman 2:…

Wait, you don’t know about the three seashells? It’s a reference to the 1993 film Demolition Man. Observe.
Thank you for making this point. I've always found this to be a very odd aspect of being a (female) nerd. I was at dinner recently with a group of (male) engineers and we were all talking about Star Trek. And at the end of the conversation, one man turned to me and said, "oh but you're not a real nerd". It was…
One of the most 1-dimensional, condescending interpretations I've ever had the misfortune to stumble across. Your shallow assumption that these types of costumes were designed "specifically to showcase women as sex objects" might have a bit of validity if it weren't for the fact that all of the male characters share…
Look, if I want to dress as comic book character I have to accept that my options are pretty fucking limited if I want modestly dressed, which, frankly is an entirely different issue that needs to be handled by the comic artists themselves. It's like, do I try to make an accurate costume? Or do I make my own modest…
That's what I want you to be aware of.
Check your history before you make broad assumptions. Many geek media costumes on women are designed as "male fantasy" and some are products of the time. Compare Theiss' work on TOS in the late 60's with the male and female originated fashion at the time. "Futuristic" and "fresh" mod micro-minis, cats eye liner,…
Yes, that is true. Those costumes were designed to be sexy, and for the male gaze. But the author is not criticizing men for thinking she looks sexy in that costume. She's complaining about 1). women telling her that her skirt is "too short" (it's not too short, it's as short as it's supposed to be) and 2). men seeing…
No, the point you are missing is that no one has actually argued that wearing the outfit itself is a feminist act - that's a total straw man you are arguing against. The feminist part is standing up to the rude and sexist treatment. Of course someone wearing an original Star Trek uniform with a short skirt is aware…
In the Victorian and Edwardian eras, men were all about the ankles... because they were always being hidden. Many traditional hunter-gather tribes in warm climates have women with bare breasts wandering around without being stared at/oggled by anyone except the token white ethnographer.
Seems to me you are the one who…
You missed the entire point of this article. Like, by miles. It's impressive.
I'm old enough to have seen the original Star Trek when it was first broadcast.
You seem to be trying to position yourself as arbiter of feminist dogma. Ms. Finke's approach is a valid feminist position. So is yours. Feminism isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. Just as she should be able to attend a con in costume without having her geek credentials questioned, she should be able to take a…
