That’s the whole point. As long as they are tied to other male athletic teams and they’re there to cheer them on, that’s all anyone is going to see. And yeah, the gymnastics are impressive but I’m sure most people just think that if they were truly serious about gymnastics, they’d be doing gymnastics instead of…

This, this, this.

If not for the male gaze, what purpose do cheerleaders at major games serve?

NOW it’s become synonymous with sexualization?  The extra short skirts and crop tops that have been standard for years and years were so they didn’t overheat in the sun?  In (for example) New England in November?

When weren’t cheerleaders sexualized? The whole concept of women standing on the sidelines while the men are the main attraction, is awful and also the entire basis of cheer teams. Skinny women in short skirts cheering on big burly men. You can’t get more heteronormative and stereotypical.

I’m sorry for the women who do this but I think as long as cheerleaders are associated with male athletic teams, they will always be seen as at best, supporting entertainment, at worst, sex objects and titillating entertainment for fans and players.

Another important point is that Plan B can be less effective in overweight or obese women, or even just tall normal-weight women (anyone over 165 pounds). The “Ella” version of emergency contraception which is a different drug entirely works at higher weights, but requires a prescription. It’s still worth trying Plan…

This is a bullshit article and maybe you should try working a little harder to actually provide useful information; like where to get free tests, as there are plenty of places handing them out.

Making the vax a mandate has forced a lot of people to actually get the vaccine. I think our definitions of worse are very very different. 

Katharine was able to post positive and negative articles that had purpose to them. Same with Charles. Germain... well. He likes posters!

That’s actually Mephisto in Hawkeye. 

After getting rid of the two staffers already in LA...

The unfortunate reality is we Democrats will lose the working class vote if student debt is cancelled.

Exactly. Sundays are for leisure, for squeezing out a last little bit of the weekend before the scaries set in. Brunch is perfect for that. You get to socialize with friends and it wraps up by like 1 p.m., so you have the rest of your afternoon to lounge or get things done or generally follow your bliss. Brunch is…

Charlie Jane’s review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is an all time classic.

Wendy’s used to have these pita sandwiches that were like a combo of a chopped salad, diced grilled chicken, and dressing like ranch or caesar in a thick pita that were just awesome, and then they disappeared. I don’t even remember what they were called, but I was disappointed when they went away.

The worst meal of the week is lunch on Monday. Brunch is a treat by comparison.

Luckily this thing probably wouldn’t drag you anywhere, it’d just digest you as it floated along with you tangled in its tendrils.

“Next you’re gonna tell me you never had a McLobster roll either.‘

OK, seriously guys. We need to talk about this whole “lack of pictures thing.” I get that the higher ups may have decided that it is too much bother or cost to license pics from other sites and it isn’t all that hard to click the link and go to the original site, but what is even the point of an article that is “look…
