Do it, but do a dry run. Tell everyone you changed it but actually don’t officially. Test it out. Including don’t tell your hubbs it’s not official. Then if you like the result, do it officially. Or change your kids last names to include your last (maiden) name. I think I see a reaction coming from a husband, I love…

So remember the guy I said I had a crush on from work? Then I got on a dating website and was hating it because I can’t deal with rejection? Well. Today I matched with the guy from work. And I’m like “Is this awesome or is this awkward?” I’m saying awesome. I liked him with a green heart and now I’m waiting to see if…

Stories about people standing up for themselves/others and being punished for it depress me more than anything else.

Give it another 5 and you’ll be able to :)

Counterpoint: Fantastic Beasts was a fun - if slightly tonally muddled - franchise starter, the vast majority of the Pottermore writing has given a huge amount of depth and backstory to characters and places that enrich the novels (which is not offset by a couple of admittedly culturally insensitive pieces) and whilst …

We have GOT to stop allowing ourselves - the public, the media, the Dems, basically anyone that’s not a batty-ass conservative Republican - to be held hostage by the wingnuts by playing their game. Every bad thing can be traced back to trying to placate them as some kind of sane/normal political movement.

Should be the reverse- no spouses. This isn’t a social event; it’s a conference.

I see May decided not to bring the hubby.

Among Nerds? Sure. A large chunk that either watched the cartoon or read comics know who she is.

I definitely feel like I experience this to some degree. My friend group is mostly boys, so I’m the only girl who plays Smash Bros or will talk about RPGs with them. I’d probably feel really threatened if another girl came along. In my old high school, in the video game club, there was a total of 5 girls in a club of…

I was the only woman working an an EB Games over ten years ago. Then a prettier woman came in who liked Halo more than I did, and I was literally replaced, as in they stopped putting me on the schedule and basically quietly fired me.

I was one of three runner-ups in a competition for “People’s Nerd” on the second…

Thanks for this article, it was a really refreshing read. As a female gamer, I’ve struggled with this mentality before, (mainly in middle/high school) and it’s a crappy thing to feel. Especially when another female played more “hardcore”(CoD and other FPS) games than I did (I mostly play JRPGs). Hopefully in the years…

This is definitely true. I have several guys on my Xbox friends list. No other girls, and not for lack of trying. They just all turn hostile to me.

I agree with your sentiment in general and I certainly couldn’t care about this, but I can tell you where the vast majority of complainers are coming at it from. It’s the simple fact that if it were a male only showing there would absolutely be feminists lining up to castigate anyone and everyone that supported it. …

In all seriousness, it never ceases to amaze me that those who the world is shaped around cannot take a few moments to delve a little deeper into the nuance of these types of things, let alone the complete misunderstanding of what equality actually is.

Let’s be clear here: there is no such thing as “reverse sexism” just like there is no such thing as “reverse racism.” Treating one sex unfairly or unequally is simply called “sexism.” And this is not that. If all screenings of Wonder Woman were barred from admitting men, that would be sexism. But since this is one scre…

Ah yes. The tears are so, so sweet. So delicious.

Supergirl, Tank Girl, Barb Wire, Black Scorpion, Witchblade, Catwoman, Elektra, and now Wonder Woman. Yeah, it’s a pretty bad list. Let’s hope Wonder Woman beats the odds.

Jeez, between this and Star Trek Discovery...

I’ll defend this movie for a thousand years.
