I have heard people insinuating there were massive problems with fangirls at the Coriolanus shows, but I never actually found out WHAT the fangirls did? It kind of makes me sad to think that someone as passionate about Shakespeare as Hiddleston would have to play in front of an audience that is basically only there to…

See, this I don't agree with as it perpetuates this whole idea that ""women can't bond" or this whole "frenemies" bullshit. In my work life I've always been judged far more harshly and more unfairly by men, and I have also mostly been put down about my looks by men, not women. I would say men are judged less harshly…

I don't agree with that last sentence. This whole "bitches be jealous" idea simplifies an issue that is sooooooo much more complicated. The rest of what you wrote I do agree with though - women are held to a higher moral standard than men, no doubt about it.

YES! My parents stayed together for many, many more years than they should have, and they were some of the worst of my childhood. Yes, I was sad when they separated for good and my father moved out, but in retrospect I really wish they had done it much sooner, when we were still little enough not to remember them…

Ah, spring - that wonderful time where my dust allergy and hay fever overlap so that the only comfortable place for me is in the shower!

Those butt cheeks are mesmerising...

Oh yes, Asian drama is quite depressing in that regard! Everyone seems to be absolutely flawless, skinny-skinny and under 25! What do all the actors (or rather: actresses) do once they turn 26, just crawl under a rock and die??? Korean drama seems the worst in that regard due to also having this completely…

I think the sexualised weather girls are more a thing in Southern European countries, possibly also Eastern Europe, I wouldn't know. I don't recall sexy weather girls from German TV, just these nerdy guys in suits. What I always loved about TV shows in NZ was the culturally diverse cast. They had quite a few…

They better be gluten-free and organic!

I don't know. If I were a celebrity and was divorcing, knowing this would automatically attract media attention anyway, I'd do the exact same thing and rather announce it on my own blog/twitter/whatever under my own terms than wait for the tabloids to announce it and distort it. I wouldn't include the stupid…

What, no kale? What's WRONG with you, do you WANT to die of cancer????

Weird, somehow I thought they'd already separated ages ago. I think I confused them with Madonna and Guy Ritchie, oops.

I KNOW, right? I honestly went into the craziest feminist rage after reading these comments about how Darcy was too hot for this Elizabeth and how whiney she was and why didn't she doll herself up more to be glamorous enough for Pemberley, wah wah wah.

I remember being so baffled at men drooling over JLo's butt, which looked a LOT like my own (minus the insanely awesome muscle tone though!) because all my life my stepmother in particular kept going on and on about how unfortunate it was that even if I ever managed to slim down I'd always have this problematic, big…

YES! Oh my God, it nearly killed me when I read those comments on IMDB because I love the actress so much and found her to be the saving grace of a rather tedious miniseries. Her looks were refreshingly realistic and this woman to me is the embodiment of the energetic, charismatic and definitely NOT conventionally…

Hmmmm.... That really depends on the country I'd say. It is true for Germany, where we have female news anchors that aren't necessarily deemed conventionally attractive and are often well over 40, BUT they are always skinny as far as I can tell (has been a while since I watched German TV to be honest), while the men…

He's a self-entitled snob, but a hilarious one - he just doesn't give a flying fuck what anyone thinks of him or his odd opinions! Especially his interviews in German are ridiculously absurd, I love when he's a guest on a talkshow here!

That's what I just thought as well - thank God both Germany and New Zealand have abolished the death penalty. I will never understand the people who are in favour of keeping capital punishment, it is archaic and barbaric. And yes, I would say the same thing if a member of my family was brutally murdered (waiting for…

But then the "I married Donald Trump" girl shouldn't be on the cover either, which I believe is the whole point of the article, that it's not as if up to this point only super inspiring, amazing women have been on that cover.

Yeah, I know. I teach at uni here in Germany and have to do the whole "RichterIn" thing all the time in official documents, but always found it very silly and quite tedious to be honest. I do think gender-neutral nouns often work quite well, but to artificially invent them or change a language artificially to produce…
