“The term mansplaining is sexist.”

I love this comment and you so hard. Was thinking the exact same thing.

Totally and verifiably Digimon. I can still name most of the characters and have some of the toys at home! I used to record the show on Saturdays and watch it with my drunkass roommates. And then harass small kids who were clearly into Pokemon by leaning over and whispering “Digimon is better!”

I was talking about Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland feuding, a la season 2.

And then they’ll throw in someone to play Joan Fontaine to feud with her. I dunno, this seems like it could be entertaining but will probably end up playing out badly as a soapy show that promotes the stereotypes of women catfighting whilst taking a steaming dump on the legacy of actresses who had to put up with a lot…

To a degree, I think you’re right - I think much of the issue with the rape, however, is that it’s still used as shorthand for female character development in regards to the main characters or worse - character development for the male characters witnessing the rape - like with Theon and Sansa. I think most would…

You’re definitely not wrong about GOT and Outlander, but something I’ve always thought as pretty insidious with crime procedurals like Law and Order SVU, etc, is that while the rape and awful sexual crimes happen offscreen, the victims are often still presented as dead body props and we’re told about what happened to…

I agree with your assessment to a point. I don’t think he was implying that women bring it on themselves (his son’s take on it points more to that line of thinking) in this instance - though I also think he’d have no problem doing so for anyone not his daughter. I do think, that in addition to highlighting the aspect…

In the same paragraph you say the film was never going to get a good review here and then call them out for not reviewing it at all?? This article is seriously just a screenshot of OTHER REVIEWS - even mentioning reviews from those who liked it. So the only way that Jezebel would be off the hook for this is if they…

Truly it is so worth your time. I liked her on the Daily Show but now I freaking worship her. She is what we need, deserve, have been waiting for.

My friend texted this trailer to me first thing Saturday morning and I pretty much cried through the whole damn thing (the kind of crying one would probably do if they saw a goddamned baby unicorn being born). There have been 8 Batman films, 7 Superman films, and multiple series for both, let alone the countless other…

He is the BEST. I keep wondering aloud (every time he says something much to my husband’s dismay) how his casting process went. I imagine they weren’t specifically looking for a kid with missing front teeth, but loved him so much for the part, that they wrote all that in...

Too late! (heh)

We kept joking that we were going to do “Run to the Hills” by Iron Maiden, but that probably doesn’t help you.

My husband wanted Harvest Moon and I wanted In the Aeroplane Over the Sea (yeah, I know, don’t care) or Low’s cover of Transmission which has no real thematic value as a wedding song but is the prettiest damned song ever (and combines two of my favorite bands!) so we settled on Meant to Be by Squirrel Nut Zippers and…

Spot on. They probably even like that - speaking in tongues...sounds so biblical...adds to their delusion that they were sent to “steward” the world by santa clause in a robe.

It’s what killed me about our current lack of doing anything about the Zika virus. They scream that they are prolife but will hold hostage funding to keep wanted babies alive over birth control which only keeps women reasonably independent. There should not be any place for this thinking or government sanctioned…

While I’ve no doubt this is inherently true, I’d add that the Right’s obsession with reproductive organs is also rooted in the idea that all women are men’s property, are tools to grow men’s estate/family/legacy and that the anti-abortion movement is strictly a means to punish women for having sex or even seeking to…

I’d be interested to know the age groups of these new cases of cervical cancer. The vaccine hasn’t been around for an extremely long time and it has an age cut off for being eligible to receive it. It’s possible that not all 28,500 cases truly would have been prevented anyway if they are occurring in woman who were…

I’ve always been so torn over their feud. Ms. de Havilland is amazing and really brought it hardcore to the studios back in the day. But as Rebecca is one of my all time favorite films and Joan Fontaine positively KILLS it in that...I’ve always had a certain loyalty for her. (Seriously - the part where her character…
