Exactly this! Elle Woods was the lawyer I needed to see at exactly the right time in my development. I was a very girly girl, and I’m still a hyper feminine woman. I’m a kickass litigator too, and I didn’t need to shed my hyper femininity for that to be true. Elle wins BECAUSE of her interests and personality, not in…

The judgements when he wins should come right out of union funds. 

Cops are the biggest fucking snowflakes in the world. This is just like all those cops who claimed to OD on fentanyl from touching some - which is impossible, and it was all the placebo effect. Fucking babies. 

Absolutely with you. Elle Woods is great because she’s possibly the only media portrayal of a woman who is both smart and not just feminine but hyper feminine. She’s “girly” in the way that I was always taught was bad, shallow, and frivolous. And her friends are women. She’s not the “cool girl” who “just gets along…

You know, reading everyone’s responses here, I’m becoming more and more sure that younger me hated the character simply BECAUSE she was so into fashion and had a tiny dog and all that...not a feminist dislike, per se, just a personal distrust of anything overly flashy. (Even now, I tend to assume people with purse…

She might’ve lucked out in the details of the case, but they previously showed her getting a really good lsat score, answering questions well in class, holding her own in a study group of intelligent peers, and earning a prestigious fellowship. She studies a lot and works hard, but that’s how smart people get smart,…

Why should the trans community solve this problem when they could just watch cis women turn on each other? Kind of like trans bathroom bills, most of the people getting attacked are just cis women who "look wrong".

There’s been several ciswomen now who’ve fallen afoul of this (as Ashley noted Caster Semenya immediately comes to mind) and each and every time “gender critical feminists” who supposedly want these women to compete stay silent and a bunch of transphobic conspiracy theories are created that all of these athletes are…

Maybe there could be "women's sports" and "fancy lil lady sports" so that dainty little terfs won't have to worry about competing against women they might lose to.

The TopChef subreddit had also been talking about the accusations for weeks leading up to the finale, and it’s definitely not just the one woman, he had also been apparently telling multiple other women he was separated from his wife and being super creepy with them while she was pregnant with his baby! 

Drag Race basically edited out a contestant who made it to top 4. But editing out the winner is not going to work. Ideally they would have disqualified Erales and re-shot the finale with just the top two but that would also be hard to impossible depending on the timeline. I mean, IDEALLY reality tv would do a better…

Hi Meghan!

let them sleuth, she’s only getting any consideration in court because of the public. People think somehow the legal and medical world are not fallible or that we she should leave it up to the experts, when this is a powerful example of how broken the system is and that the experts often have no experience with mental…

Writing someone off as a diversity hire completely erases their hard work and accomplishments. No matter what Taylor does and has done, people will forever associate her with this remark.

For me, the rule is bad. When bad rules get enforced, that is bad. Personally, I don’t really care if the person breaking the rule is dumb for having broken it under the circumstances they broke it under, or if it may be indicative of some other problem, or whatever.  The rule is bad, I don’t want it to exist, and I…

The fact he’s so openly admitting it was only “verbal abuse” means he’s got much bigger skeletons in his closet. No way is a major producer like that gonna get the boot just because he’s verbally abusive; are you kidding me? That’s 80% of them. Dan Schneider has been a massive sleazeball since forever and people…

One of the benefits of originalism. The people whose will you’re upholding have been dead for 200 years, so you can divine their wishes as you wish. It’s all a little Joseph Smith.

I would like to volunteer for a gentleman’s auxiliary of the lesbian piratical fleet (I assume we would need to be kept at a polite distance, so as not to interfere and to better avoiding mansplaining sailing topics we know fuck-all about).

If asked, I may even be able to prove to be a tactical asset. As a morbidly…

In other SC news, eager to repeat the Ginsburg Maneuver (some combo of arrogance/idiocy/selfishness leading you to believe your brilliant mind just has to stay in office when you might otherwise be replaced by an administration favorable to your legal philosophy), 82-year-old Breyer chose not to retire today, which…

You realize that if we all chip in we can buy a small fleet of ships and live like pirate lesbians in international waters, occasionally sniping the odd boat with a trump flag with cannonfire right?
