Right? And apparently we’re not interested in a guy who doesn’t project raging elitist entitlement at all times— “confidence”. And apparently we don’t like to lead the conversation, so it’s up to men to lead the conversation. And apparently our aura of Fuck Off is just testing you to see if you’re confident and manly…

I thought this was made-up satire, but no, it’s an actual paraphrase!! Wow— do men actually think this? Do men actually tell each other to behave in this manner? Do men actually believe it? Absolutely mystified, on an anthropological level.

I saw that Twitter convo where someone finally brought that up— why do they never consider the future and potential and promise of the victim, whether her life is ruined, and who she could’ve been? And the rape apologist’s answer was “the person she could’ve been was changed the moment she had sex”. Literally. People…

But I still get to keep my paper receipt from my ballot— so if I really wanted to contend how they counted my vote, there’s an analog way to prove it. Someday this country will figure out the voting systems.

Crucible for some GOP Mk. II experiment? Hmmm. I see it.... makes the blood run cold, but I see it...

You will love this, because it’s 100x more nerdy & batshit than you’re even imagining:

OMG SPINSTER FIGHT!!

THINK ABOUT IT, SHEEPLE.

Don’t be fooled.... ALL of those plume-tail rat mothafockas are aggressive. Ever been to Central Park? Those bastids will steal your wallet and walk away giving you a baaaad look.

That terrifying way Witherspoon sounds when she locks her jaw and drops her voice? Like she was doing since she was a kid in Freeway? HELL YES Serena Joy.

Oh no!! That is 50 shades of wrong.

I love love loved Dunaway as Serena. Sharp as ice, tough as nails, but her humanity kept breaking through, no matter how you wanted to unilaterally hate her. She conveyed just enough dignity & despair that you remember she’s just as much a prisoner of the social order as Offred is.

No, there were birth issues.... Remember Janine’s baby was a ‘shredder’? They never described just what might be wrong with the babies that were shredders, so your mind filled in the gory blanks.

Did.... you even read the book? Actually read it? Gilead IS an all-white theocracy. Necessarily. The Children of Ham were among the first purged when the revolution happened.

Oh, it’s SO good!! Well, I wasn’t thrilled with the way the Mamet reconstruction gave Offred a name & tacked on a pat ending, granted — but the cast/performances are all powerful & fantastic. Duvall, Richardson, Dunaway, Quinn. The look is spot on what you’d imagine a glaring white sunshiny dystopia would look like.…

Didn’t Paul LePage just leave someone a voicemail screaming this same sentiment? — “I’ve spent my life helping black people”, after saying he had a binder full of black drug dealers? Yeah, he sure can pick em.

That gif is everything!

I mean, she’s a bleach blonde pop star. To my old eyes she’s basically Madonna Du Jour. Not particularly threatening! But then, I have no idea how those terrified people see the world. Those were the same people who found Madonna threatening in 1983 for wearing underwear as outerwear. Wonder what color the sky is in…

PREACH. Women’s t-shirts are always so goddamn un-generous— in the shoulder, sleeve, torso, fabric quality. Is bullshit. Men’s tees are baggy, but it’s better to be comfy & not have the circulation cut off in your armpits by those stupid little cap sleeves.

Yes yes yes! Now THAT is how you do a protest, baby!
