I think it is reasonable to point out that an event that calls itself a Women’s March needs to be careful not to erase certain subsets of women. But that’s a delicate thing and it’s difficult to talk about in the abstract. More concretely, I don’t think a sign saying “keep Congress out of my uterus” (or something like…

When I am feeling charitable, I think the otherkin people suffer from a sort of generalized dysphoria where they feel distressed with most aspects of their physical selves and so turn to otherkin-dom as a way to cope with that. When I actually encounter them, I think that otherkin people are just trying to be The Most…

True. I would be down for a “real” Troy and Abed in the Morning.

Bump.

There are problems with training the providers as well. Gynecological care is part of the usual rotation in medical school but abortion care is not; a student has to specifically seek out that training. And as much as it’s nice to pretend otherwise, the plurality of medical students are motivated wholly or in part by…

I liked Community but it always sort of felt like the creators used the whimsy to paper over some legitimate issues. So you get things like Britta starting out as a too-cool, take-no-shit alterna-chick and becoming a cripplingly insecure caricature of an SJW whose friends use her name as a synonym for fucking up. Or…

I heartily recommend Moana and Zootopia.

Oh my god, the hair. I spent a good 20 minutes yammering to my fiance about the hair.

I like the metal version as well:

Crash was made because the people involved wanted to Say Something Important About Race in America and no one stopped to think about what that Something was and whether it really needed to be said at all.

Having not seen La La Land, I recomend waiting until it goes to Netflix or goes to the dollar theater to see it. That way you can spend you movie-going money on Hidden Figures (if you like movies that are good and fun without losing sight of the weighty subject matter) and/or Moana (if you like movies that are good…

Fantastic Beasts has the excuse of being weird Doctor Who/Pokemon mashup fanfiction set in the Potterverse

This seems like a good place to put this:

I like “You’re Welcome” (and all the songs in Moana, really) but I keep getting it confused in my head with this song from Community.

Starred for “Mangolini”. That is the best, most accurate descriptor I have yet seen.

“Carrie Fisher Sent Me” Ow, my heart...

Do they normally post attendance numbers? I think that would make the difference for shade.

I have never heard of women playing games not meant for girls being bullied.

Ah. I thought that might be the case but I couldn’t tell from their recent comment history and since I’m not usually on Kotaku I didn’t want to assume.

There are certainly physical differences between men and women but none of those things factor into game preferences. Having a uterus does not cause someone to shy away from shooters any more than having a penis prevents someone from enjoying color-matching games.
