Actually, cis- and trans- are used in chemistry and genetics this way, and I’m pretty sure the way they’re used with regards to gender are derived from the usage in those fields.

Who is this “we” and “our” you keep referring to in the article? Is it Rhett who has a problem with this? Gizmodo staff? Univision? It reads like someone else wrote this.

Well researched and written. The biggest takeaway is that she should have listened to the people around her. Even the song you posted in the article, had she dropped the blaccent and gone with Valley girl ala kesha in the first part of her career that would have been a cute little underground sleeper hit.

White man in my 30s, I had never heard that. They never touched on his other speeches in my schooling, but you’ve inspired me to search them out. Thank you.

This shit right here is so fucking stupid. If you think racism is dead, police across the country do a fantastic job and definitely don’t target people, or that voter suppression is an issue we still face today, then you’re a white supremacist. Not because you necessarily believe the white race is superior, but…

I notice they “feel” a lot but don’t offer much in terms of actual data about consumer use.

The unfortunate truth is that hate groups thrive on this sort of mentality.

Came here to sing the praises of “Feat of Clay,” which re-imagines Clayface as a tragic character, features a great performance by Ron Pearlman, and the climactic scene is an eye-popping masterstroke of animation.

How do you breeze through the story in 2.5 hours? I’ve spent at least 3 hours looking for the damn bosses...

Q.E.D.

Patty Jenkins seems to cut to the heart of the matter with her insistence that women “can surely choose and judge their own icons of progress.” We can argue all day about what empowerment ought to look like (or whether it’s a valuable litmus test in the first place) but there is no denying that Wonder Woman resonated…

Cameron’s point is inartfully stated, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t got one. From the heyday of Alien, Aliens, Terminator 2, Silence of the Lambs, X-Files, Scream, Gorillas in the Mist, Robocop, etc etc, representations of women in genre cinema have taken a turn for the worse.

Yeah, and while we don’t “have to watch movies starring overweight bald guys,” we have that option (whether we want it or not). Male actors can be overweight and unattractive and old (and still play the romantic lead) and they can play problematic characters (that are still the protagonist), and actresses and female…

Thank you for saying this for me as I too am tired of having to explain the difference between a power fantasy and a sex fantasy.

The thing is, no one is actually calling for “de-sexed” women heroes. That’s beside the point. But it’s a fact that SEXY is essentially the first consideration Hollywood has when casting a female character. If it was just a coincidental bonus trait of the perfect actress for the role that would be one thing, but it’s…

Ok, so I really liked Wonder Woman when I first saw it.
And I think Cameron’s points here are stupid.
There’s absolutely room for sexy heroines, women come in all shapes and sizes, that’s grand.
But my housemate was really angry after she came back from seeing Wonder Woman with my brother and she had some really good…

I wouldn’t call it a step back, but it wasn’t a real step forward. Just the fact that she remains spotless and pretty from beginning to end says something about the film. If you look at most male superheroes, the get beat up and dirty, but Wonderwoman looked ready for the cat walk no matter what.

Never do this again. This is bad bad bad.

I changed my original comment because I decided to try and not be so negative, but, yeah. Reincarnation is a hallmark of decidedly non-white religions and this entire enterprise smacks of white people quite literally capitalizing on a culture that isn’t theirs.
