Then go watch Wonder Woman. Beats up people and isn’t in sex kitten mode throughout the entire film. Sure, she is still beautiful but she isn’t walking T&A shots. Or watch Max Max: Fury Road. Again, Furiosa beats up people and isn’t in sex kitten mode throughout the entire film.

“A male-gaze fantasy of an action star instead of an actual bad-ass.”

Uma Thurman in Kill Bill spent plenty of time in a track suit and Lucy Liu wore kimonos. The other female assassins also wore clothing. So here is yet another ONE movie that you pretend does not exist.

I liked the aesthetic of the fighting where it actually looked like it fucking hurt and was majorly wearying.

Because 99,99% of all people wearing a tux are men ( a pretty conservative estimation), while approximately the same percentage of those people who wear mini skirts and heels self identify as women. It’s a fucking action movie, not a think piece about gender identity.

James Bond wears a tuxedo in almost every Bond movie. He also checks into every hotel under his real name. Is that either practical or logical? No, it isn’t, but it is part of the allure. Same with the boots and the sex scene in Atomic Blonde.

the rest of the article points towards a rising tide of female action hero movies, bolstered by the monumental success of Wonder Woman

I thought it was supposed to be “stirata,” and laughed that he blundered while trying to be superior.

No one said that it was a shit degree, or that graduates don’t have valuable skills. But it does tend to be a catch-all for students who don’t have a strong inclination toward any other major, especially as underclassmen.

This is especially hilarious to me since I grew up in an area with a history of large agricultural communities, made up mostly of Italian families that were looked down on for being uneducated, low-class, and catholic breeders. Soprasatta was ethnic food.

Yeah! That was me reading this, too. Honestly, I LOVE a good salami, but a place like that would be intimidating just because I don’t know all the names. I’m college-educated and I have wealthy parents, but if I was with an asshole that made me feel dumb for not knowing these things, I would want to leave, too.

But also, don’t assume that people don’t want Taco Bell, maybe? This is how we got stuck with Trump even after all the polling told us it would never happen. There are plenty of people who could be offered a gourmet meal and they would turn it down for something more familiar and far, FAR less delicious.

I COMPLETELY agree.

I’ve been saying this forever but always get hounded haha

She also, quite frankly, sounds rather dumb when she actually speaks for once. And I’m not talking about those little (rehearsed, most likely) speeches at her gigs.

I don’t know that her unwillingness to be interviewed has anything to do with control. Have you ever heard her speak? She comes off very stupid and inarticulate. I believe her personae is heavily handled.

Not sure if it is anymore, but it at least used to be a pretty common “default” major for people who didn’t know what they wanted to do and wanted to pick something that they perceived to be easy. It’s also the reason you see a lot of athletes in state schools with this major.

I think she may be batshit crazy with bad man-taste. She’s been famous (and urged toward fame) faaaaaar too much of her life to hope she’ll settle down with some nice claims adjuster from Topeka who treats her like a queen.

While I don’t doubt that Chip and Joanna Gaines would mislead someone about neighborhood safety, a drunk person can drive into your house just about anywhere.

Really? Demi has always given me “adderall mom” vibes.
