Both Watership Down and Stranger in a Strange Land had horrible gender issues, i.e., no noticeably sentient females of any sort. I really hate this in Watership Down because otherwise the book is so perfect. I never much cared for Heinlein in general, but I did love those bunnies...except for the Bunnies...heh heh...
Forgive me for mentioning this, because I know it’s rude, but when you talk about bearded women dwarves, are you talking about Terry Prachett’s dwarfs? Because if not, well, you should be, and your child or children should know about them.
I think you can blame someone for owning slaves in the 1800s, especially since monarchs in Europe began abolishing slavery 50 years before Jamestown was even founded, let alone the United States. So that’s not a good analogy. (As if owning people would be okay in any case.)
Soo... You didn’t read the article. Okay.
That’s true of a lot of books that are much better than Ender’s Game.
Awww, I like ol’ Tom Bombadil. “Oh this ring that everyone is fighting over? Yeah, has no effect on me. I guess I’m just more bad ass than all the rest of that shit put together.”
True Detective definitely had a Scooby Doo ending. And yeah, Tolkein has a tendency to treat women as mythological creatures. Species in Tolkein from most common to most rare seem to go Men->Orcs->Dwarves->Hobbits->Elves->Females.
Fatal Flaw: It was written by a total twat.
I feel like you’re going to get a lot of defensive feedback from this, but I agree with you completely. I feel incredibly uncomfortable when I get manicures (the three times I’ve done it), and usually end up with nails that I could have done just as well on my own. I’ve never had a pedicure, because the idea of…
But see, there is something HUGELY wrong with it. Did you read this article?
I love Courtney Love! I definitely wouldn’t call any individual criticism or critic of her behavior sexist, but the amount of criticism she gets compared to male rock stars is totally sexist. No one expects their male rock idols to be all sweetness and light and humility and sanity and rationality and moderation. In…
I don’t know if I can properly explain what I’m thinking...
Yes! I think the film glosses it over because Kurt portrayed her as being unintelligent, but not technically mentally disabled, just called names by ignorant kids. But I think that’s just a creepy justification.
I never understood the Courtney hate. Yeah, she comes off as a bit of an attention seeker, but if we judge her just based on the merits of her music, her band did two absolutely brilliant albums (Live Through This and Celebrity Skin). I've always thought Love Through This was every bit as great of an album as…
Courtney KILLED Kurt AOL chat rooms are the equivalent to Anti-Vaxx Facebook pages.
I will never forget, one day I was unloading my car for a party with my best friend and my then boyfriend. The BFF and I were discussing our great love of Hole, when the boyfriend, all pissy, asks how on earth we can like Hole when Courtney Love heads said band. I asked him what he had against Courtney Love, and he…
I looked to see who produced this. 88-Keys. Interesting. He pops up from time to time, but looking at his discog I’m surprised he hasn’t done more.
Here’s another 88-Keys production. Funny that someone posted another song from this album like a week ago.
Only one in five?
Because she has a sword, a gun, a mask, a cool outfit, a horse, and looks like an adventurer or bandit, all of which promise action-packed fun. Is that not “badass” enough for you?
