I find it incredibly pathetic that young girls and adult women are trying so hard to claim what you have perfectly identified as a "hobby-based identity" (but what I would additionally describe as a privilege based identity) when it is absolutely explicit that that identity exists BECAUSE it's a security blanket for…

TRIGGER WARNING (violence against women)

They're so creepy. That's exactly why, if I'm ever pregnant, I don't want to ever know what the thing growing inside me looks like. Because that's what I'm AFRAID it will look like. I'm relieved to read that these aren't actually that realistic.

This is truth.

Well, and here, they're getting off not only on the idea of some middle aged creep sniffing Taylor Swift in public, which is sexual harassment, but ALSO on the idea that young girls (her fan base) will watch. So yeah... double creep.

What's that up in the air over your head? It's a bird. It's a plane. No... it's the point.

I agree with your first paragraph but not with your second. The fact that she's a celebrity is part of the point. Because they're saying, "No amount of wealth, power or privilege changes the fact that you are still a woman and thus worthy of being degraded. You may have more $$$ than us, but we can still creep you…

They call him "Dorothy."

LOL. Someone's mommy and daddy loved his sisters more. :(

What a beautiful girl. And wow... does she ever look like a young Kim Cattrall. Why can't we have a series about Samantha Jones in the 80s? It would be way more interesting.

As to the severity of female versus male circumcision... it depends. Because female circumcision can mean a lot of things depending on the culture. It can mean removal or destruction of a whole organ, or it can mean a snip of the labia. But yeah, I don't like to see conversations about male circumcision on these…

Word. As I just posted. This article = worst feminism EVER.

So, now Jezebel's making light of possibly real physical consequences of birth control on Jezebel? Well fuck me.

I love everyone currently on that show (Mark Brendanwhatzit was such a looser) but my favorite is probably Tom Haverford. He is such a unique (and recognizable) character. It cracks me up when he whines, his swag is adorable, and I love how he has grown over the course of the show.

Exactly. Donna's that officemate who half enjoys/half is annoyed by the fact that she knows everything about everyone she works with (cause they bring their shit to the office) while know on really knows anything about her. She has a secret life where she watches Game of Thrones, and has a condo in Seattle, and a…

There might be tons of people in Panem, but her district was basically annihilated. And in the end, she doesn't want to be anywhere besides her district, or what's left of it. And who else is going to live with her there except someone equally tied to that site (or at least as tied to her as she is to that site)?…

Yeah. I think it would help if you described your "weird interests." Something tells me that these bitches are just trying to pigeon hole you to maintain a collective upper hand. But you need to give us some semi-specific examples of what they are reacting to and how they are reaction to it.

I think part of the point of the books, which I found very realistic in some ways, is that you don't get to define yourself more than the world gets to define you. Gale might be an almost purely accidental soldier turned murdered, but it doesn't matter. He's still a soldier turned murderer. You can have sympathy for…

I guess it depends on what you appreciate about the series and about Katniss. I never saw Katniss as a rebel. I always saw her as a survivor and as a pragmatist. She never believed in anything she did: the games or the rebellion (a new kind of game, ultimately). She did the things she did because she knew she had to,…

You should really read Mockingjay. It does make sense in the context of the book because of how much the characters are deconstructed over the course of that last book. Katniss has never been more badass. But she looses everything. Her sister. Gale as a possible friend, if not lover. The illusion that the rebels are…
