Ehhhh... no. That Justin Bieber music video that had auditions for girls who could twerk the best is in no way meta- regarding the male gaze.

I admit that it may be impossible to eliminate the desire to feel sexy by men completely from straight women, but I have performed all sorts of different types of dances, and as a dancer, there is joy in mastering difficult moves that can be completely divorced from any sense of them being sexy. Obviously a mainstream…

i pity you for not understanding that what you said is exactly right

Not sure. The dancers are all being “sexy” but at the same time, the video gives the vibe of a bunch of girls out having fun and mugging for the camera, as if there weren’t any guys around.

I can! Kate Bosworth had a supporting role in Still Alice last year.

I’d count David Beckham as a “professional beauty”.

You make a good point, but if their intention was inclusivity I think they still failed. If they mean to support people with uteruses, what about trans women?

maybe she is an IT ( Information Technology or Income Tax) girl

She’s right. The term “it” girl is antiquated, I believe it was coined for Clara Bow in the 1920’s. And has been used to raise actresses up then subsequently tear them down ever since.

I’m an emergency social worker in a county next-door to San Bernardino, from what I understand our policies are similar. I would guess that the child was detained by law enforcement and brought into protective custody. When it says “CPS custody” it just means the state has taken responsibility for the child. She may…

They are both rip offs at those prices. Hit an Old Navy or JC Penneys get a blank shirt for a fraction of that price. Go to Michaels or Joanns (with their weekly coupon in hand) and get some iron on letters and make your own damn feminist shirt. Bonus, you get to choose your own font. (Iron on fonts come in all sorts…

He’s using the term just fine this is infuriating. Migrant and migratory are totally different words. He’s comparing the family to something like birds who move with the seasons, not freaking migrant workers. He’s more intellectual than all the people misreading him.

I’m a black french muslim woman living in France and I don’t think it’s a good idea until the sister cuts off her contacts to the hardline islamist groups she is engaging with (Jamaat-e-Islami).

The relatives have to be cleared as a good place for the kid. This includes making the house and the family are a safe place. It’s an expediated process but it still has to be done.

Maybe I’m naïve, but I think doing good is always good (d’oh) even though there’s a less than altruistic agenda. At least some attention is being drawn to a situation and hopefully more people can engage.

What the what? So many intelligent people are actors. Pointing to the casting couch thing is so narrow and offensive. I’m a filmmaker and producer, I have nothing but love and respect for talented actors. Don’t confuse “actor” with “celebrity.” Do you think Sir Ian McKellan and Viola Davis fucked their way to the top?…

Old stereotypes. Not many ‘casting couches’ anymore, really. And I know some extraordinarily intelligent actors (trained for the stage, usually, and well educated in history, world politics and literature, more than most of us). Brad Pitt seemed to be suggesting that his family is always on the move, but used a term…

Well thanks for stopping by with the sex negativity nobody ordered. Have a nice day!

It’s hardly her fault she was born with a pretty face, and currently by the grace of god lacks cellulite. Should she press her face to a blender and re-do the shoot? Will her being confident enough to have a naked photoshoot sans alterations meet with your approval then?

Also, How Very Dare She Not Have Body Hair. How…

All tattoos are cheesy.
