Because you already covered Idris Elba and Tom Hiddleston, I'll go ahead and take care of Richard Armitage for you as well. He has a little movie called The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug coming out shortly, he can sing too and did musical theatre for years, and as opposed to the douchey quotes of Adam Levine, he…

Oh lawd, I just saw that comment as well. The mansplainer in the room has all the answers, as usual. What are we bitching about? We should really just do what we want, 'cause like, all the obstacles and societal pressures are just in our minds! We can all live like Miley Cyrus, Feminist Ideal (after the man with the…

LULZ, yes, people's reaction to your hairless head is TOTALLY comparable to how people react to women with hairy armpits! Thanks for pointing that out! And this "Stop empowering them by caving into 'societal pressure'" nonsense is pretty much the definition of privilege. Full stop.

No. Doing whatever you want to do whenever you want to do it is called sociopathy, not feminism.

breaking down structural barriers to equality in political, economic, and social spheres for all women, regardless of race, class, orientation, etc — it's not just 'doing whatever the fuck I want, when I want!' that's pretty frothy, surface, pseudo-feminism.

There's one in the grey, weeping and barking about "feeling attacked" and "false rape accusations", thinking he's saying something not only original - that no one has ever thought of, let alone spoken aloud, before - but also powerful and compelling.

I'm going to take your comment as an honest inquiry since it suggests you are genuinely unfamiliar with the term. Rape culture doesn't describe a herd constituting every American male, that wanders the countryside assaulting every woman, child, and domesticated animal. It is a larger scale of the toxic work…

As an egregious example of something that happens nationwide to varying degrees every single day? Yes. That is what an example means. If this harassment were racially motivated, I'd similarly offer it up as an example to anyone who declared racism did not exist or had been extinguished from our society.

I like Jenna and really thought she was going to be one of the ones that made her money and got out, but you are right - there's some addiction issues there that need to be addressed before anything else.

I was in the XXX film business for awhile and when I met her she was also very smart and very sweet. I had been in a fall and hurt my back badly and my dr wanted to do cortisone shots. But I had heard that they hurt BAD so I was hemming and hawing about doing it. She told me to stop being a big baby and just do it!…

I am glad that you included the line

It would be a marketing stunt if this was a movie about sleeping beauty. But it's marketing based on the movie which is literally based on maleficent. It's the exact same concept as Wicked - flipping a tale on its head. Maybe you think the movie is a stunt (which, weird, but OK), but the marketing is 100% on point.

I know what you mean about the enunciation and cadence. I LOOOOOVE one of the opening lines in Avengers.

A negative generalization isn't necessarily a false one. And if white people weren't implicitly, and often explicitly, invested in a structure that privileges whiteness then said structure wouldn't continue. What you're doing is hegemonic. You're trying to control how people express the truth of racial…

This post is not about venting anger. It is a legitimate criticism of the privilege of color blindness. We are talking about a population who actually countenanced the "Is 'cracker' as bad as the N-word" discussion in the name of free speech and presenting more than one side—rather then viewing it as completely…

I hear you. But such a deeply rooted problem as white supremacy requires that we accept the truth of certain generalizations—meaning we accept that they accurately reflect the current reality. When we do that, we can begin to improve the situations. "But not ALL white people are like that!" is a bigger roadblock to…

It was fair. Being part of a dominant group leads to general truths, and it is the job of the individuals in that group first to be the exception, and then work actively to dismantle the dominance itself.

I know you just thought, "Hey, this reminds me of my fears. I'll share them to see if other people relate."

But there sure are plenty of rapists out there. Which I also mentioned. But oh, I forgot. My being white totally invalidates any concern I have ever had for my safety at any point in time in my life.

Another sad real life thing that shows this problem is happening in NZ atm.
