That's just the thing, this legislation won't give jobs to unqualified women simply because they are women. It will make sure that women who are given a job (because they are qualified) won't be paid less than men. I'm sorry but if you aren't making as much money as a man in the same job, that kind of looks to me like…

You nailed it. The Bechdel test was never intended to determine whether a movie had strong female characters or was femenist, it was made to show just how low the bar is when it comes to anything more than a token female character and how many movies — even ones made recently — fail at even that.

I think this just proves that the Bechdel test is a pretty flimsy way to assess how woman are portrayed. I mean, I get its value on some level, but it certainly doesn't automatically mean a movie is even remotely feminist, and I feel like a lot of people want it to mean that.

I love going by myself. Both armrests are mine! The snacks are all mine! No arguments about what to see! I definitely prefer it at matinees or during the week, though. I always think of it as "treating myself" to a movie and relaxing.

Take a sample of your dog's handwriting to the FBI.

I mean, they have to, the fakes are illegal to own, illegal to purchase. Anyway, unfortunately I can tell from the pull tab, the sides should be darker or lighter, not the same orange, and the tab itself shouldn't have any of that damage on it, since it should be made with palladium and that wouldn't happen.

Hi there! I wrote the column Ask a Clean Person for The Hairpin, and now I write it for Jezebel. There's no "lifting" going on, don't worry — I just moved sites. I'm here and also at Deadspin writing the column there twice a month. Glad to see the Hairpinners here too! xoJK

It's one thing to not be turned on visually, it's another to tell someone their body parts are repulsive. "Repulsive" is a good word to never use with respect to another person's body.

I think he seems like a little shit, but I'm reluctant to judge people by the expressions on their faces. Especially in pictures, which capture a millisecond in time. It looks just as likely that the sun is in his eyes.

Zero (o) dollars, but mostly because I'm not an adult and am too embarrassed to ask how to use all of the various colourful ointments they have at Sephora. One day, I'm going to learn...
