But but but... don't you see? Wearing a hijab is totally cool! It's like super awesome. Even though the reason behind it is that women should cover themselves lest men be turned on and then they'll get raped and well it'll be their fault.

It's not unrealistic at all. Amazingly, some people don't have much family or their relatives are very young/healthy and that results in 30 year old never having been to a funeral.

After the first season to be precise

Yeah, that's no excuse. Man, commenters are sometimes so predictable on Jezebel, I was actually waiting for the comment "it's all the West's fault!"

Exactly. Stig Larsson may have created a fascinating character with Lisbeth Salander but he couldn't write to save his life.
Also don't understand this sudden reverse snobbery that Americans seem to have about the Swedish movies: these movies were mediocre and the American version is far more superior.
Just because…

Good point on British shows. Not that I have anything against gorgeous people, but once in a while, it's nice to see actors who look like real people. People I would know in real life.

Because very often women are their own worst enemies

The Runaways was the ONLY movie where I though "wait a minute, Kristen Stewart has got talent, what's going on?"

I thought the movie was boring as fuck. And I tend to like slow movies or movies "where nothing happens".

Well, gay men are still the population with the highest risk of being HIV positive.

Yeah. And his accent is incomprehensible. I barely got two words once in a while when Cook was speaking. And I say as someone who has a good hear.

Actually, to make it even worse, I'm not even sure youtube commenters are mostly teenagers. I'm really really not sure of that.

I'm sorry you feel the way you feel. And I empathize. I feel that way too quite often.

Right. Because Ugandans are all puppets and can be convinced in three seconds that gay people are evil. It couldn't possibly be that the anti gay laws in Uganda are actually approved by Ugandans and find an echo in Ugandan society. Definitely not. The whole continent of Africa is an absolute dream for gay people and…

Yeah but wearing a speedo and walking into a religious place (or any place really) is shocking and inappropriate while having to cover your shoulders as a woman to get anywhere isn't. It shouldn't be. There's respect and there's shitty misogyny.

Yep. I feel sorry for Americans who believe that Cadbury represents good chocolate.

INDEED. Beer companies refuse to pander to women in their commercials. It's mind boggling.

"Actually my issue with the show is that it bills itself as "modern" when it relies on stereotypes about shrewish moms, fiery Latinas, grumpy old guys with hot young wives, flamboyant gay men, and daughters either being pretty airheads or brainy frumps"

I'm gay and I agree. A lot of those terms have now become a way for some people to feel "cool", "edgy" and "original". Someone referred to themselves the other day as "panromantic demisexual" and I rolled my eyes SO HARD. Enough.

I didn't love that movie as much as her previous ones. Perhaps because there was no queer element to it? Although maybe there is some subtext, I'm not sure. Still, it's a good movie.
