As someone who believes that everything really happens in some other universe, I tell myself I’m not seeing what “really” happened. I’m seeing events filtered through writer biases, producer/director biases, performer biases, studio biases, and audience biases (since the entertainment industry ultimately caters to…

Bill, I used to see you as a father. Your show helped raise me when I had parents who couldn’t be bothered, and the morals I picked up from the show helped me become a better person.

Props to Greer for her excellent early work.

I don’t immediately disagree with Greer about how the current laws are failing us. Even when victims do report rape, the vast majority of cases are not really eligible for prosecution because they aren’t considered to have enough evidence, leaving victims with no other avenues for justice. Even when a case goes to…

I’ll say again. Head coverings are the example at hand, I’m not singling out Islam. My comments apply to any misogynistic and patriarchal system that present women with a “false choice” regarding their behavior.

I fully respect however Muslim women wish to think or feel about their religion. But it doesn’t change the reality that Islam is a patriarchal system that dehumanizes and controls them.

Women are free to feel however they wish about it. But opinions and feelings don’t change the reality that this custom only exists in the first place to dehumanize and control women within a patriarchal religious system. This is true of any misogynistic custom, I’m not singling out head coverings, it’s just the…

Nothing smashes the patriarchy like celebrating a custom of a patriarchal religion meant to dehumanize and control women.

I don’t use it when I sleep. You can, but I use it when I’m on the couch to help decompress after work, before bed.

You’re right, but I think this will almost certainly be the final nail in the coffin for Woody Allen’s career. With all the actors and actress coming out apologizing for working with him, and donating their salaries, I don’t see him recovering when Dylan Farrow becomes a much larger public figure. Awareness will be so…

I’m responding to you because I’ve always respected you and your opinions on here. I’m not misunderstanding deliberately. My first comment said Lacey would be perfect. I said that because they do have a resemblance, not because I think a non-black actress should play a black character.

I don’t want to get into the business of questioning accusers’ stories (as has been happening since time immemorial).

You said nothing offensive. You simply pointed out that they share a physical resemblance to one another...not sure what the big deal is about that. I’m half southeast asian and half white, and look very Italian because of it. I don’t get all offended if someone says that I resemble a different race...who gives a…

I honestly don’t see the value in tearing people down for working with Allen pre-2014 if they go on to see the error of their ways. His abuse of Dylan Farrow may have been a part of the public record if you had gone to look for it, but a lot of people had either forgotten about it or were too young (or not from the…

I wouldn’t tell someone not to get a tummy tuck, but the choice to get a tummy tuck isn’t feminist. That doesn’t mean that the women getting the tummy tuck isn’t feminist, just the the choice itself isn’t. The problem with choice feminism was that it tried to portray every choice made by a woman (including,…

I might personally say, “you do what you want,” but that I wouldn’t call that a feminist position.

The point I am making is that thinking that feminism = “I get to make my own choices, about anything” is misunderstanding feminism.

I’ve always defined third-wavers as the ones who let legislatures erode our abortion rights so they could talk about how much they liked porn, but that’s probably not what you’re looking for.

I’m at my sister’s place and she has a bottle of Sunday Riley Good Genes which she failed to disclose to me even though we talk every day on the phone, so it’s probably okay for me to swipe it right?

I am 60 years old. In case it helps, I’m going to tell you what I know.

Belted coats depend upon a perfect drape (for photos) and when you’re moving, like in real life, it’s hard to get the coat to sit perfectly every shot or any shot. A well-structured, seamed coat can look a little matronly sometimes but they’re much more reliable for photos. I’m sure she’ll catch on.
