1) Privately-held companies are THE WORST. The greediest and the most unregulated companies as far as employee well-being goes.

Okay, see I was okay with your argument but did you just rationalize that because the Ethiopian Jews don't have it THAT bad in Israel, that it's all cool and lol y'all are being oversensitive? Just help me out here because that's how your comment reads. That's like saying because Africans and Arab Muslims enslaved…

YOU MEAN THERE ARE RACIST JEWS? OMG NEWS!

Although it does list that there is a debate and that they don't have it THAT badly, especially compared to countries like Libya. And not only that, but yes, ONE GUY has suggested that maybe they should be encamped. BUT THEY HAVE NOT. People have done worse in the US. Like,…

Correct — "censorship by purse strings" isn't actually "censorship" (which, it seems to me, would require that someone be flat out not allowed to say something at all). This is just an economic way of deincentivizing someone from saying something. And you're absolutely correct about the fact that this is how free…

Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany is pretty ridiculous.

"Censorship by purse string"? That's how free speech works. You can say whatever the hell you want. If people don't like what you say, they can not listen or they can choose not to pay you to come speak for them.

I'm pretty sure you missed the point of this story.

Um, nope.

and the fact she pulls on not one but THREE current summer movies - Turbo, The Smurfs, Monster University - to discuss the marginalization of female characters in children's movies.... well, let's not let the facts get in the way of your boredom.

If someone said "I know" after I told them I loved them, I woulda smacked them. But Leia is pretty badass otherwise ;)

I'm curious to know why you had a change of heart?

I find it pretty relevant. Moving on.

It's not like there's a limit on the number of articles they can post, and it's not like one of the staff writers spent the time writing this. It was a repost from the author's blog, and it does fit with the things discussed on this site, even if it's an article you don't find particulary interesting or relevant.

You dont think that sexism in children films is relevant? Ok...

The portrayal of women in kids' movies is absolutely a feminist issue. What's the problem here?

You know, I'm a guy, and I was about to post the usual, "making a big fuss about not too much" thing, but stuff like this really does need to be said, at least once, at least until it doesn't need to be said anymore.

Yes, I was going to point that out as well. In addition, the head of school is a woman who holds the all-time record for scaring. Everyone is in awe of her...plus, she's voiced by Helen Mirren (extra points, in my book).

Ironic, since planes are typically referred to as women, like the Enola Gay or Memphis Belle. I guess when they are going to be the stars of movies, that changes, huh?

Can I say how lucky I feel to have grown up with Princess Leia as a role model?

Not that it makes things that much better, since they end up losing...but Monsters U isn't just frats, there are two sorority houses that compete against Sully and Mike's fraternity.

Jessica Coen cannot, in fact, name him, because as everyone knows if you say Hugo Schwyzer three times he shows up in your house and insists that the real gender problem in the world today is women not being nice enough.
