This, on the other hand, was so excellently done in every way.

id take it a step further and say it’s not JUST about being cool with yourself and feeling neutral, it’s about actively working to have empathy for other women in place of competing. that’s usually the best antidote to self-absorption, self-consciousness, and envy - true empathy for other people.

I hope she just literally peed on him because he’s the worst.

Do you not realize you’re commenting on a gossip site?

Devon Sawa was my first celebrity crush. I think I watched Now and Then, Little Giants, and Casper 100s of times.

THAT KID WAS 17?? THAT KID WAS 17.

Best article about childhood longing, AND CASPER, ever written!

I literally got goosebumps when I played the clip. I practically wore out my vhs copy of this movie watching this exact scene over and over and over. I may or may not have had a teen beat poster of Devin Sawa tacked up over my bed soon after this movie and Little Giants came out.

Hmm, it’s almost like if you hire women behind the scenes you might get a film that has a young woman as the star and speaks to young women’s experiences, and I don’t remember young boys…

I love how this is filed:

1. 28 year old me should not think that young Sawa is hot but I do. Sorry world.

Yes, you may.

Because using emotional blackmail to get someone to agree to spend the rest of their life with you is a greeeeeeeeaaaat way to start a marriage, right??

This kind of policing girls’ behaviour for anything remotely sexually suggestive (so they can be either salivated over or slut-shamed) usually starts pretty early, but toddler-early is seriously revolting :(

I have zero love for Kim Kardashian but the slut stuff pisses me off so much. Pretty much every single person who hates on her for it watches porn. They just want the women in the movies(here it was one time with her boyfriend) they watch and enjoy to be shamed, unsuccessful and miserable their entire lives? Because,…
