One of my favorite lines ever came from a review of the Entourage movie: “Nothing happens, but for longer.”

And I personally disliked SATC but it wasn’t even 1/10 the level of dreck Entourage was.
I think SATC and Entourage were both dreck, but Entourage never received even a fraction of the scorn and hatred directed at SATC.
Even if Sex and the City were the worst show ever created, that wouldn’t diminish the fact that it’s being presented here as an example of a statistically measurable fact that gender bias harms shows directed at female audiences in their IMDB rating more than shows directed at male audiences.
Right, but what makes you an asshole in this story that you’re telling apparently under the impression that you don’t sound like a huge asshole in it is:
Dudes don’t have opinions. They have Logic and Facts.
Going with my awe inspiring gut, I’d bet men are more likely to engage in downvoting shit they don’t like because they’re more likely to believe that the world should care what their opinion is.
Lol I love men. Read a story about how men overall rate women’s shows lower than other shows and men’s first reaction is to comment with “ok but that show WAS bad. Objectively. I know it’s objectively bad because I watched it and I thought it was bad. Objectively.”
Men are objectively adorable.
Im just saying...yes, the first few seasons of Lost were good, but after the first few seasons I stopped watching it bc I had so many questions and nothing in the narrative made sense to me (major continuity issues). Confidently claiming Sex and the City is objectively awful while praising another show like Lost,…
Some of my favorite films are chick flicks. Alien. Aliens. Resident Evil. Terminators 1 and 2. Contact. The Descent. Mad Max. The Force Awakens. Such great chick flicks.
I’ve dealt with similar people asking why as a guy I would ever considering a playing a game with a female protagonist (or choose a female protagonist when there is an option). They never seem to understand that putting oneself into another prospective is actually a GOOD thing. :/
I loved it as a freshman in college, but I came from a conservative home life and was on my own for the first time, so it opened my eyes to the appeal of a lot of shit that I’d always thought were big no-nos, like sex, singledom, allowing yourself to be vain sometimes, abortion, taking charge of your own future and…
“I had a girlfriend in college with whom I had an arrangement that I would sit through Sex and the City and Grey’s Anatomy with her if she would not ask me questions or to explain what was happening during LOST”
I like to pretend that “Girls” is set up like the DC Universe, and Lena and pals are on an alternate Earth where it’s very white. “Friends” was also set on this Earth-2.
I mean, there are so many valid points you could make about Taylor Swift, but that was weak. And coming from Lovato? Girl is just begging for attention with all these lame feuds SHE is starting.
“[T]here’s nothing positive that comes from pitting women against each other.”
Normally, I'd scoff at ridiculous demands a la Sharon Stone, but if you're on the fence about attending a Cannes party - and really, it's got to be old hat, almost drudgery for her at this point - why not throw out some grand demands and if they agree, nice; if not, meh.
Girl has a beef and will. not. let. it. go.
Lena Dunham is the first person I think of when I think about women who hate other women. Her loud and proud paternalistic anti-sex work stance (all sex work is bad; trafficking and sex work are the same, etc.) , her all white vision of New York and that mega racist/nationalist article about Japan are not feminist.…
Ohhhhh myyy GAHHH Demi sHUt UP. I call myself a feminist and the only “work” I put in is commenting on kinja 6 hours a day (I manage to engineer/eat lunch for the other 2).
