It is a way around it for sure—when I took French ages ago I was always basically taught that mixed-gender groups default to masculine pronounces, so that is a clever means of avoiding exclusion! Even if it seems a little silly on its face.

I love that French title for its pointless gender separation! “The gleaners and the female gleaner.”

Quite a slow movie, but it still rules. Agnes Varda FTW.

I found myself surprised that I was upset that during the rape they showed only Theon’s face. The only thought I had was “way to make a woman getting raped all about how a man feels.”

What has five hands and is that conflicted?

ONE WEEK UNTIL EUROVISION!!! Less! 6 days, SIX DAYS YOU GUYS!! I am (possibly overly) excited!

Just to clear things up for everyone:

Wait now I’m confused—much of the article is about how Conchita thinks of himself as a man, “in a dress.” Wouldn’t the proper pronouns be he/him? I honestly don’t know the answer, so just curious!

I am confused for the opposite reason. You explicitly quote him identifying not as trans, but a man in a dress. Why not masculine pronouns then?

There were some idiots that, particularly during season 1/2, totally missed that and thought that they were supposed to want to be Don Draper.

One of the main points of this article was that not very long ago, women WERE obligated to do domestic work because they were women, and they weren’t allowed to do anything else. Have fun with your bread.

I’m not sure why some feminists feel the need to mock domestic things like ironing, cooking, baking, etc.

I will never understand how feminists can *not* be angry. This anger that permeates feminism is absolutely justified, and since women are currently losing ground and gains are being unmade, I would expect the least we can do is understand why. At which point does being a second-class citizen become something we should…

Your mum sounds rad as hell. Please thank her for the work she and other women did to make things easier and fairer for my generation.

One time I was flying from JFK to SFO, with a layover in Phoenix and saw Flavor Flav waiting at our gate. We went over and talked to him, he showed us the bag of clocks he keeps in Target bags with the rest of his Target bag luggage, and took a photo with us. He sat behind us on the plane (in coach) and yelled…

Unless it's intended to lure in gigantic, ferocious, mutant house-cats to attack the targets.

First act opens with hero being unable to save friend/partner from apparent death. Third act reveals that the dude is alive—and the BAD GUY!

Faith vs Science, especially when the representative for the "Faith" side is some simple, yet knowing character.

The villain randomly kills an underling to prove how "bad" he/she is.
