An update for you, as a Pens writer myself- thus far the little guy, Trey, has gotten 2 pucks, a jersey, a stick, and last I saw was with the teams’ PR staff, apparently to head into the locker-room with them to meet the players from what I gathered. While the old guy was booed out of the arena right afterward and…

Yep, and we just didn’t cover anything else today at all

Spooky. This is beautifully written by the way, very vivid description.

Not scary at all but an update for those of you who remember my story from last year about our friendly ghost named Seymour:

Your link has a definition of “take the place of. Supplant” included as one of the definitions. So what is your point, genius?

You’re wrong. The majority of people I’ve talked to have specific problem with the lead characters being female. They only changed the goal post once they realized no one was buying what they were selling.

nope, the fact that its a woman as a lead (everyone that considered women to be people don’t use the term females to describe us) is pretty much the whole reason for the hunger games. If you remade it with a male lead it wouldn’t work. The same way Troop Beverly Hills wouldn’t work if it was an all male cast.

I disagree. Women have a historically been denied most lead roles in movies (the exception being cast along side a man in a romance). Minorities as well, however, if they are male, they fare better: when Will Smith portrayed the lead in “I am Legend”, and “I Robot” (characters that were white in the books), few people…

How exactly does he earn respect by beating a woman, throwing a temper tantrum, getting in a physical altercation with coaching staff, or any of the other stupid shit he’s done? But of course, Jerry Jones only looked at defensive stats when making the determination that Hardy’s a “real leader.”

It doesn’t, but there is no shortage of action movies written with male leads. Action movies (or comedies that aren’t rom-coms) with female leads are much, much rarer. So while I don’t think it’s inherently bad or diminishing to remake Hunger Games with a male lead, it feels unnecessary and unoriginal.

I'm also a woman and have every intention of seeing it. So do a lot of women. It's not exactly women only. There are male characters. Even the original actors are coming back to play their part. However, the all male team of Ghostbusters has already been done. So why not an all female team? Makes sense to me. To have…

What I found astonishing was the offended manchildrens’ failure to understand that many of the rabid fans of the original were women. This remake isn’t “for women” any more than the original was “for men”. It’s the same old falsehood rearing it’s head again; that female protagonists are for a strictly female audience,…

The argument against social consequences to unpopular speech seems particularly silly to me. If it weren’t for social consequences to speech, Greer wouldn’t be a prominent speaker in the first place - she’d be lost in the crowd of people being given unbiased access to speech platforms.

If people think it’s oppressive…

“Other people, however, like to think of free speech as a Natural right in the John Locke-y sense and see anything that raises the level of consequence for unpopular speech as a violation of said “natural right”.”

I don’t get the point of saying this in an argument though. Natural rights are things taken on faith by…

She can say whatever she wants but no one has to give her a stage to say it on. That's free speech.

I will never live the horror of being told these things, but that horror matters.

I’ll say it again: Feminism without intersectionality is just various shades of bigotry.

Ms. Greer has been a valued voice, but this ongoing transphobia from fellow second-wavers is disappointing and discouraging. Move into the twenty-first century, please.

Granted, this is referring to the US and not the UK.

Shouldn’t an arrest be made here? Kicking someone is considered assault, no? Or is this one of those ‘he was a minority so it’s totally cool’?
