I didn’t “ignore it”, I saw through it. Anyone who thinks that “hey, maybe she secretly wanted it” is a fucking feminist reading is a total shitbird and there’s no other way to slice it.

I know people are mostly thinking of this in terms of fan art, but this is going to make life harder for a lot of sex workers who rely on social media to promote their business. With more and more platforms taking on the Puritanical bent of “no nude photos allowed”, they’re going to have to work harder and harder to…

But it’s still incredibly misogynistic to claim that “female-presenting” nipples are titillating and pornographic, while shirtless dudes is just, y’know, dudes showing their pecs.

No kidding. “While removing the patient’s heart could be good for their overall health, many have worried exactly how doctors plan to circulate blood with an open sucking chest wound where the organ once was.”

Dude, you’re literally saying that all of the objections that the woman in the song raises are secretly signs that she’s totally into the guy and wants to stay. Only one of us is clinging to a demonstrably false narrative here, and it sure as shit ain’t me.

People said the same thing about Nixon.

“What’s in this drink?”, though, is a pretty fucking clear indicator that she didn’t know how strong the drink was when she accepted it and drank it and is just now recognizing that she’s having difficulty thinking clearly. Trying to cast that as, “well, some ladies love to drink” is patent, disingenuous bullshit.

THAT’S NOT GOOD EITHER.

Because a song about ignoring consent becomes so much better when it’s a man getting sexually assaulted, and it’s not at all like our patriarchal obsession with masculine strength leads to men’s harassment and assault claims being belittled and ignored because a “real man” shouldn’t want to say no and shouldn’t have…

“Wonderful Christmastime” always sounds to me like Paul forgot the tune and about half the verses, and is just improvising whatever pops into his head.

Okay, but the thing is: THAT’S LITERALLY THE FUCKING DEFINITION OF FUCKING ‘RAPE CULTURE’, THE NORMALIZATION OF THE IDEA THAT A WOMAN’S “NO” SECRETLY MEANS “YES” AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE BEHAVIOR OF FICTIONAL CHARACTERS WHO SAY “NO” AND ARE REALLY HAPPY THAT THE MAN IGNORES IT. IT IS A TERRIBLE BEHAVIOR TO MODEL AND…

Except that the most common “date rape drug” is alcohol. It’s legally obtainable, impairs judgment, lowers inhibitions, and in strong doses can induce unconsciousness. It was never innocent for a guy to make a woman really strong drinks as a way of getting into her panties, even when this song was written--it was just…

Yeah, sorry, I knew I should have been more specific there. I was referring to a particular time he made a pass at her while she was working on Trek, which she turned down because she knew he was sleeping with Majel (who Nichelle was friends with) and she didn’t want to get in the middle of that.

Roddenberry? HORNY AF. His first pilot was rejected by Paramount because he cast his mistress as one of three women his author stand-in character was “forced” to mate with as part of an hour long harem fantasy, and his response to being told “Stop casting your mistress in your TV series” was to cast her in a different…

The GOP will never try to get rid of absentee ballots. Old people frequently vote absentee due to medical issues that make it difficult for them to get to the polling place, and they overwhelmingly vote Republican.

One of my favorite memories is the time I finished watching Season One of ‘Dollhouse’ on DVD and asked my friend, who had watched the show on television, if he’d seen the DVD-exclusive episode. He was like, “Nah, I don’t really care if I miss it. Just tell me what happens.”

“What IS that about the meth face look”

Whoa, whoa, wait wait wait wait wait. Are you trying to say that Vince McMahon is somehow... unethical? I don’t know, man. He’s always seemed like such a straight up guy, but... whoa. I got a lot to think about here.

I think I’d juuuuuust rather get a “scrummy”, because I think that Mary is really the harder of the two to please but she hides it behind that astonishingly disciplined British old lady politeness. But I’d take either.

“Her bullshit level... it’s OVER 9,000!!!!!!”
