That seems more like an aesthetic issue than a content one. Sure, the music is over the top, but it's an internal training video for the Marines...they tend towards dramatic. More than that, I read the statement about alcohol to be a piece of advice, not victim blaming. Men and women in all branches of the armed…

I might be wrong, but this video was posted in the comments on another article, I don't remember it being featured solo...which I think is confirmed by the "So, uh, U.S.A.: Your move?" at the end of this post. I want to call to attention the fact that many of the men and women in our military services are acting…

It's been followed by foot dragging not on the part of enlisted men and women, or commanders, but politicians and those at the very top of the DoD. In my (warning, anecdotal) experience, men and women in the armed services speak openly about the issue that they face when it comes to sexual assault, and how they are…

I know I'm going to regret saying this later...but the Marines did it first and explicitly recognized that sexual assault is happening to male soldiers, too.

Guys, this video has been posted in your own comments section for months. Not exactly the same, but come on...we need to recognize when they do right just as much as when they do wrong.

"If you can't carry it, you can't bring it."

My friend Eric and I spent like seven hours wading through back issues to find the comic with her first appearance in it. She's one of the most under-appreciated comic book characters of all time in my opinion, especially because she is a cute, polite, girly-girl that will OWN YOUR ASS. Plus, she was part of the…

Just in case you're unaware...Squirrel Girl is actually a Marvel superhero and inarguably one of the most badass superheroes to ever exist. Seriously. Dr Doom is afraid of her and none of the X-Men will be mean or rude because she will fuck your shit up with an adorable smile on her face and say 'thank you' when…

Oh I LOVE that.

I have nothing to add, just want to thank you for sharing your much-needed perspective and try to bump your comment up towards the top.

I want to cuddle your comment and give it some cookies or something, because me too, man. Me fucking too I miss that.

One of my friends complained that Piz is being included in the movie (I'm reconsidering if we can be friends and making her send in an application and an apology) but her comment made me realize what I really want for the movie is a Keith/Vinnie buddy cops movie with a three second cameo of Veronica pouting while Piz…

It was on Netflix Instant for a while, but not any more, sadly. Maybe we can set up a Kickstarter for Jez to haggle with studios to get all the best lady-friendly movies and TV shows for instant streaming.

Thank you! I'm all limb, too, and I end up buying 'tall' jeans and pants and getting them hemmed, but nobody makes 'long' shirts to cover my arms, or 'long' shirts to cover my cousin's waist (she's the opposite of me, all torso).

I do get your point here, I agree it's a really dangerous double standard (you're too skinny, no now you're too fat, you're eating too much, wait you're not eating the right things). I think my larger point about GG is that I prefer that portrayal to the one in PLL. I know it's perhaps only marginally better, but GG…

Maybe this is just because of the way I grew up (I've got no frame of reference besides my own, which is why I wish we all could Vulcan mind meld because I think we'd get along a lot better) but I never made the leap that (lots of junky food) + (no exercise) + (on TV) = (skinny beautiful ladies). I just saw two…

Please tell him that a stranger on the internet wants to high five him like a million times, then snog him endlessly.

I love that moment when someone encounters the kind of body shaming/bigotry/otherwise culturally oppressive judgement that others experience on a daily basis and it blows their minds. It's a moment of such raw anger, most of the time.

God, I love that show. I mean, I know it had issues, but it showed female relationships as both passionate and contentious, admitted that you could love and hate your mother at the same time, showed smart women working hard for their own successes, didn't stigmatize sex (or virginity), and made me gobble up books I'd…

I would say two things to that: first, I'm not sure I'd want to work at a company that employed a recruiter/employee that acted like that.
