I knew a lot of these at my college. They were mostly art majors (one told me, when I asked her how she chose her major, that she "wanted to have a hobby for after she got married") and were heavily involved in campus ministries.
You're welcome, and likewise :-)
I think that makes sense. And I know feminism has a history of being exclusionary on a number of levels (it has traditionally been a very white, middle class kind of thing, which is very Not Okay and something that still needs to be addressed in many ways). But I think that what you term exclusion (based on the "fem"…
I don't think feminism is *necessarily* exclusionary; I think if it's going to do any good at all, it has to be intersectional and work to improve conditions for all sorts of underprivileged groups. Then again, I also think men can be and identify as feminists (although I certainly wouldn't say they *have* to, because…
I love Toni Collette and what she's saying here, but I feel like I'm the only woman in the world who hated Muriel's Wedding. Like, I got a little more than halfway through, and I just couldn't bring myself to bother with the rest. Just not my jam.
Do you mean you don't know if there is a place/role for you in feminism (so you don't know if identifying yourself that way is appropriate/appropriative), or you don't know whether feminism offers you anything? Or that the movement is missing something or flawed in some way that makes you not want to identify with it?
*Sigh* Fine, it wasn't the best wording. How does "to have her sacrifice the rest of her life to look after..." sound?*
You're welcome!
You've got some GORGEOUS earrings (and I love that you have clip-ons!).
You could make a racism bingo card and come up with prizes for yourself, like fleeing to make a coffee run every time you get bingo (maybe decaf, though, or that could lead to heart explosions).
What is it with these guys and sex? We're talking about a movie where one guy crushes another guy's skull in his bare hands, and he's weirded out by a little consensual sex? I mean, I'm not surprised, but JESUS WOULD NOT APPROVE OF YOUR PRIORITIES, SIR.
It's sooooo hard not to respond. They're like fish in a barrel wearing targets and begging to be shot.
Yep, it's not at all sexist to have her entire life consist of looking after a man who saves the world a lot. And "mother" is the most important job that a woman can have, because mothers raise the boys who will grow up to run the world and make progress in art and science.
I'm having trouble thinking of anyone young enough. Amy Acker *looks* younger than she is, so she could probably pull it off, but no one else springs to mind.
Yep. I already strongly dislike this movie just because every time I see a headline about it, I get excited and then very, very disappointed.
My first thought was, "are that many people still on dial-up?"
I have the same reaction to him. Like, wow, that is a very handsome dude. I know it objectively, and yet I have zero reaction to him in my pants region. I feel the same way about Superman, actually. Like, I know he's all super-powered and heroic etc, but I just find him kinda handsome and boring.
You're not the only one! I think people are maybe confused about what you/we are seeing, because the resemblance is less in the bone structure and more in the expressions. They pull a lot of similar faces when they act, but I guess it's less obvious in still photos.
Straight-up fictional movies and TV almost never freak me out badly enough to disturb my sleep, but (and I know this sounds weird) Ghost Hunters creeps me the fuck out. I love it, but I have to watch something else to get it out of my head before bed. Possibly because it works at the edges of plausibility, so it gets…
