I have Rousey’s intensity when it comes to eating fine cheeses. Fighting? Not so much.
To them, and many other comments on this article, it is a zero-sum game. Manchester By the Sea cannot exist in the same world as a similar film about POC. Hell or High Water has ended the ability to make a film about black women in the future. La La Land features a white character who likes jazz, therefore the entire…
There are actually decent reasons to list biological sex, mostly medical ones. As much as it might bother some people, there are actual important differences between male and female bodies that can dictate health concerns and treatments....so yes, I don’t have a problem denoting sex on a birth certificate.
How else will the infants’s community know which slew of gender-appropriate neuroses and hang-ups to bestow on the child?
We don’t though! Sex is what is listed in your birth certificate. Her condition is “intersex” not “intergender.”
brad pitt’s production company actually is responsible for 12 years a slave, selma and moonlight so i’m not sure what the problem would be....
It’s fascinating watching a discussion about film in 2016 featuring two people who did not watch the movies they are discussing.
Interesting. I interpreted his racist comments differently — a man who loves his partner, but who is afraid of showing any hint of softness toward him, so he feels pressure to constantly act like an asshole. Being racist is the easiest way to do it.
Right. This is needless cruelty. I’ve been commenting here off an on for a lot of years (yes, I always use a burner, I don’t care about being a ‘regular’) and this was shocking. Writers have butted heads with readers, editors have jumped in these comments to call us foolish, dimwitted and other shite but to publicly…
Clover: We can often tell the difference between a person who wants to tell a genuine story and the person who presents the illusion of caring.
On the other hand, it was cool that the most complicated and likable Westworld character turned out to be Maeve (Thandie Newton), even if the show’s pseudo utopian vision never explicitly acknowledged race and Maeve is, in the tradition of fictional black female stereotypes, a sex worker. You take the good, you get…
My wife (of 15 years and counting!) proposed on a bus. And not a cool cross country trip or romantic wine tour bus; the #36 Broadway bus in Chicago. But it worked, so apparently I’m easy.
My husband of 34 years said, in the parking lot of a bar, “ we might as well get married..” Reader, I swooned.
I put my engagement ring on lay-by and then told my then boyfriend. Married 13 years in 2017.
Man that is just like my engagement story. I was putting away some groceries while my husband was doing the dishes and he said “Let’s get married” and I said “Sure”.
Putin’s riding right into the White House.
Lame goose?
Government agencies communicate in cutesy memes and emotes. The president elect of the US tweets like a 12 year old that just discovered social media and whose parents aren’t monitoring internet time.
