I'm really not surprised that these women were considered "observant" Muslim women by society as a whole. Just like what you wear does not act like a beacon for rapists. Just like it doesn't matter what I wear, I get catcalled on the way to work everyday, simply because I have a vagina.
How thoroughly fucked does your social/religious worldview have to be to just randomly fucking disfigure women - people - on the street? How thoroughly filled with hate must your heart be? It's not to say that crimes against people you know are any better, but at least I can understand there might be some motivating…
I shudder when I remember being an unenlightened high school senior and blaming the entire debacle on her. She was vilified by the media and I'm embarrassed that I didn't know enough not to buy the age-old story of "temptress" and "male weakness". Good for her, indeed, that she can finally take back her narrative.
Can we please take Bill Clinton to task for initiating this chain of events? He did an extremely scumbaggish thing, and the only people who seem to care about it are the scumbag politicians who just tried to score political points over the ordeal.
OH HAI
To answer your question, he could have absolutely benefited from not being a woman. That was my point. In spite of all his accomplishments, I don't find him funny at all.
Really? Isn't it just another form of the general damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't nature of patriarchy that seeks to afflict constant abuse and judgement against it's target in defiance of logic and consistency so the target will eventually accept that abuse and judgement are just part of life? Crazy is totally…
You're right. I should have said that he was rewarded for not having a vagina. I do however, reserve the right to think that he is not funny.
E.L. James doesn't know shit about anything really. She really thinks it's possible for a 22 year old college grad to never have an e-mail or a laptop. In the 21st century. She also knows nothing about American geography or vernacular. I don't know a single person who uses the phrase "holy cow!" anymore, especially…
I thought it was an amazing bit of storytelling, there was an Asian male in it who wasn't putting on a fake Japanese accent (looking at you, Heroes!) and the characters were dignified and not stereotypical. I think the last couple details made a huge difference to me. Add to that it was shot in L.A. and I was all…
I wanted to like Flash Forward so bad. It was an interesting premise and had actors I liked. But it was so uneven and a lot of times super boring. It reminded me of how like once a week I say "That SNL skit was a great idea, poorly executed." Welcome to SNL skit territory, Flash Forward.
He's really oversimplfying an issue that is actually quite simple.
Yeah, I was historically kind of "meh" about her. (Still think Affleck is a douche and don't get that relationship.) But lately with her "so what, my stomach isn't concave—I fucking gave birth three times" and now this... consider me on board, Jen!
Renee, you keep doing you. You do look happy. Almost unrecognizable, but confident in yourself. Whatever it took, I'm glad you're in that space.
Matthew, please stop doing you if this is the kind of bullshit you want to put out there. Claiming that bigoted branding gives you "oomph" makes you sound more clueless and…
For years I've been very meh towards Jennifer Garner, but is it me or has she been just fucking killing it lately?
Dear Mr. McConaughey: There have been people trying to get the previously-DC-now-Maryland football team to change their name since the early '70s. Don't fall into the fallacy that some folks try to push (usually the same assholes who complain about SJWs in GamerGate) that it's a new complaint, or that it was never a…
You know this is absolute torture for men if this concept becomes widely known. Men the world over will be in a mad scramble to find the proper "long-lasting cock cologne".
