I'm getting this way with movies. I went to see all of the Oscar-nominated shorts this year and when reading the summaries realized that all five of them were from a male-point of view. A couple of them didn't feature women at all, and the ones that did feature women had them as love interests.

Right, that's his point that I thought was so interesting: society teaches girls that their bodies are sexual objects, and then gets all mortified when they display their bodies as sexual objects.

...it makes no sense to teach girls that their bodies have irresistible power while shaming them for trying to cultivate that allure.

Because your parents won't let you wear heels because you're 12.

Ack, is it March 31st yet??

So Zooey Deschanel cut her hair? Am I the last person to notice?

I turned to my boyfriend and said, "That was a good ad, but it's going to take about a billion more of them for me to forget the last twenty of years of JC Penny being JC Penny."

Good. Writing cover letters is The Worst!

As human women, we definitely got the short end of that evolutionary stick.

Perfect.

I'm going to just pretend this is masterful satire and enjoy it.

The first rule of being pretty is never talk about being pretty.

Shallow Hal has a whole other level of infuriating. So we're supposed to believe in a world where a man who only deigns to bang super hot chicks is played by Jack Black. Jack. Black. Not exactly known for his stunning good looks and ripped bod.

Well, they had one good season at least. That's more than most shows can manage!

Yes! That too!

Hey, if you're going to marry your dad you at least expect reliable car service out of it.

I thought the Eva show was a great premise, it gave them lots of stuff to mine for hilarity and legit reasons to have lots of Maya Rudolph scenes. It seems like the writers' biggest mistake was having the Eva show canceled. There seems to be a feeling of, "oops what now?" like they've backed themselves into a corner.

I agree. And people's lives change. If I leave my company or a coworker leaves my company, I may unfriend them after a couple of weeks. I don't need to stay Facebook friends with somebody I worked with two jobs and several years ago, but who I never spent anytime with outside of work.

Sending this to my boyfriend with the note, "Better keep up."

Also, he's a rich, famous, successful entertainer.
