McKenna's letter is the greatest thing I've read all week. Close second is Kara's post about the non-white majority. This girl is 12 and conducts her feminist activism with poise and panache. Make sure y'all hold a spot on the Jezebel team for her circa 2024. Hell, give her a job now.

GONDOR NEEDS NO CONTEXT

I know, right? All those poor frat bros are just trying to have a wholesome, family friendly good time and then those wicked women show up and ruin it with their drunkenness and lewd behavior!

Drunk female guests are the only reason why people show up to frat parties. Otherwise, it's just a bunch of douchebags sitting around drinking shitty beer.

Jane Austin's novels primarily concern plucky young women having to choose between dashing alt-country singers and earnest Java developers all the while set in the glamorous backdrop of a three hour line-up for BBQ.

Except there's also an element of sexism to Bronies' protestation that it's NOT a show meant for little girls, it's SO MUCH COOLER THAN THAT. And there's a shit-ton of sexism in the way Bronies frequently act.

A lot of fans hate that term, because it's seen as segregating female fans from male ones. But you could argue that using the word "bro" as the basis for the name of your fandom already does that.

I just got a red and black woodie.... Seriously WHY ISNT THIS BEING MADE WITH RYAN REYNOLDS INVOLVED. Granted this is the same studio who was smart enough to make him Deadpool in the Wolverine Origins movie yet completely SHAT on what made Deadpool fucking amazing.

In fairness, we don't know what she's up to in that picture. She could be on her way to a Super Hero dance.

My husband is positively livid that Wonder Woman is in heels. He's beside himself angry. He threw a plate.

He loves comic books and their movies. He loves Wonder Woman. He hates misogyny and impractical footwear for bad-guy fighting.

BUT WHAT OF YOUR VOWS, JON

...And so it was that Adam was restless. All of his attempts to holler at the animals were unsatisfying. The giraffes ignored him in favor of their lunch of delicate leafy branches. The hippopotami sank deeper beneath the lazy, lapping waters. A gorilla ignored him, mostly, and then had the audacity to back hand him

One day I was sitting on the bus behind a girl with headphones on with a guy started calling her "Blondie," and just generally telling her how he'd like to get to know her. He wasn't particularly crude about it, but it was clear his attention was unwelcome. But he kept trying, and she kept replying in monosyllables

Uhm... Is this kid flipping off the camera?

Ha, as a college professor I can tell you that most colleges are 1000% behind that idea too. You know who doesn't agree with the idea that STEM subjects are the only things that matter? (other than "liberal arts" teachers like myself, of course) STEM employers! I've been to multiple talks with college counselors and
