For better or worse (worse, definitely), rape fantasy is a kink that a lot of people get off on. The genres you two are watching are different—hers is fantasy. It would be generically inappropriate to exercise kink in a crime genre, unless you are the geniuses behind Dexter. Which most people are not. Anywho. Kinks…

This is about applying our changing levels of awareness and societal values to our interpretation of historical fiction so that instead of leaving the past behind we bring it with us in a healthy and productive way in order to enrich our intensely important popular smutty television experience in the present day…
Do you have any idea how much this news makes me happy? All those asshats talking about staying true to books while adapting for TV (but having noooo problem with sexy modern hairdos!) take note, Kelly has spoken. Verily: Better a dipshit than a rapist.
Those are a couple of scary fundamentalists if ever I saw some.
i legit do not know these millennials
Ok good journalism etc now please explain what the flying truck that cover picture is pls
Fuck that nonsense. Allowing women to be deacons is basically just admitting (all over again in a new and pseudo-progressive way) that the only reason they can’t be priests is because their womb is more valuable than their brain.
You’ve given us a truly dark perspective.
No problem! Also, sigh. That was just a fantasy. I’m a modernist because I made mistakes as a young person. :[
This was the first movie I watched where I was like wait
That’s probably for the best because I’ve rarely seen a Zara employee who didn’t seem fucking miserable.
I see it often enough in literary criticism. It’s okay if you’re anticipating a counter argument or a tangential argument that you’ve already made—then you can have a footnote that says, “for more on Giggling in Dickens, see ElephantShoe 2014.” There isn’t really a GOOD way to say, “for the most authoritative…
Sweet Geryon.
I was mega surprised to see the Google results describing dudes as whip smart because I never hear it used in that way. But there’s been a lot of push back on my original comment so I guess context is key. I’m just going to start using it to refer to men more often and see what happens.
dear Jezebel, more movie reviews from Jane Marie please. Pay any price
Totally agree, I’ve been persuaded by the comments that the term is often applied to men (though I think it’s still often perceived as condescending...again, this is anecdotal). I was thinking of this article http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_… though in hindsight I see some flaws with it.
On an earlier sub-thread, some commenters supplied a lot of links to public male figures who were described as “whip smart,” so I guess it isn’t gendered after all. But in my experience, I’ve only noticed it as a gendered term. But I’ll be on the lookout more and see, I suppose. (Along with bright! Which is absolutely…
I’ve pretty much been convinced that it’s not a gendered term anymore, but I’ve seen other commenters here object to it before and I was also thinking of this article: http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_…
I solicited opinions and then changed my mind further up thread when presented with evidence. As an Internet commenter, I have 0 cultural authority and no ethical obligations not to present my opinions as objective truths because this (Kinja) is already a subjective genre. We are not journalists. We make comments. In…
