I feel so loyal to Mary Berry that I just keep rewatching the four seasons with her that Netflix (thank god) still offers.

omg gender-swapping the story illustrates what’s so odd about it - and these women - very well. Nicely done. 

Holy hell that update!

I was sort of...disappointed that the belts were gone. But not really, when it comes down to it. I guess it just seemed cool that you needed so much dedicated equipment to Become a Woman.

Yes! It’s...fine? It was adapted by Judy herself and directed by her son!

Do you guys remember a time when someone dying because there weren’t sprinklers in a BUILDING THE PRESIDENT OWNS, would big a huge problem for that President?!?!

Me too! The last thing we need is another sexual coming of age/hot 16 year old girl movie.

I’m just saying more women (of color, especially) in positions of power means more representational justice.

Agreed.

“Maybe we need more women judges/DA’s/cops.”

Maybe #saysomethingnow should be an offshoot - the justice arm of #metoo, which I think serves to help women find a voice for their trauma - so it is not without merit and is important just for that. Articulating what happened to you - decades after sometimes - is essential for healing

Maybe you’re right. But it’s also tiring always hearing about what women should do. Especially in light of traumatic abuse.

Maudeofthunder agrees.

I bet his username on LiveJournal was The All-Knowing Cartographer.

These videos are amazing and really say it all.

Exactly, exactly: “both trivializing and infantilizing ‘nerds’ and mainstreaming nerd-misogyny.” UGH.

BBT is on CBS, the network headed by Les Moonves, until very recently. He systematically weeded out programming by and centering women for “highly profitable, male-dominated series, always careful to stir in and amply reward an occasional actress, like the fabulous Patti Heaton or the irresistible Kaley Cuoco.”

IPAs are the white man’s pumpkin spice.

More tea, please.

Me too, then I have to wait for resuscitation. Only to go through it all again tomorrow.
