That's why Deadspin always rigorously evaluates their headlines with multiple focus groups before posting them.

True story-

You forget that Prince is very, very short. That's just the swizzle stick from his Grand Marnier and Cointreau.

My dad always said, "If you've lived in a fame bubble for 30+ years and you don't have a sceptre, perhaps you should re-examine your life". I think dad lucked out on that homily, though.

See, I think this article kind of touches on what bothers me about this "trend", but from a slightly different angle. It is sort of like these people have the luxury of getting rid of their stuff because deep down they know that if they ever truly need a thing they got rid of, they can jut buy it again. Or they can…

Minimalist

HAHAHA "I'm like the UN of d." That sentence is amazing.

I genuinely want to understand the reasoning behind uncensoring breasts. The Eva Green poster doesn't appear revealing to me at all. However, living in NYC and having witnessed women protesting topless and many men just oggling them, I don't see how this helps with the objectification women face. Additionally, its the…

It's very easy to get lost in there. Which is why smarmy little male-privileged dudes who've never had to think about this stuff looooove the "argument". It's easy to create a false equivalency when you're just tossing embedded societal power imbalances out the window and acting like they aren't there.

Don't feed the trolls! We have to have at least ONE discourse not derailed by men who would rather defend their gender than be a part of the solution.

Yep, romantic comedies are fantasy. We know that The Sexiest Man Alive is not going to assault America's Sweetheart when they're on a poster that screams "meet cute." The people in the movies are in a world where it's all much simpler. People enjoy them for that reason.

Absolutely, but it's so ingrained in the culture. How many books, movies, TV Shows, so a man winning a woman. The protagonist (male, natch) does something great or kinda great and a woman falls at his feet so grateful to be in his embrace. Women are something to be won and possessed, not to really interact with. …

Really? I would think the mythology would rule that one out, especially from your Dad. I'd be kinda pissed if my dad suggested that.

A friend of a friend is a Shakespearean scholar who named his (still fairly young) daughter Hermione. He apparently gets totally pissy whenever anyone suggests that she might be named after Hermione Granger (versus the character in A Winter's Tale). I get that that was the name he'd picked out before Harry Potter was…

My mom used to tell me that if I was a boy, she would have named me "Michael Jackson." But I also think my mom likes to fuck with me sometimes, so I don't know.

I just got a mental picture of my fiance sitting naked in a baby pool of fruit salad lol

Really? All I want is for complete strangers to stop feeling my burgeoning belly gives them license to make any sort of comment on my appearance. I'm still a person. Growing someone else inside of me doesn't make me a public commodity open for comment and attention. If I wanted that, I'd be a reality star.

And all this time all I thought they wanted was Mango Haagen Dazs, Cool Ranch Pringles, and regular clitoral massages.

I don't particularly care what, but yes please, give me something with mango banana papaya sex on top.

So, once again, the Republicans are why we can't have nice things.
