This is just a rerun of the Untuckit thing, in which potshots are taken at men for the way companies decide to market to them. These strategies are stupid and condescending, but mirror the ways in which 70% of products are marketed toward either the pure, white femininity of women or the empowered white lady. Toxic…

Can’t we just end boxing, and soon thereafter the NFL? Two of the most toxic of toxic masculinity's strongholds. Forget his attitudes for a moment, his chosen profession is pugilistic barbarism, an arena in which strength and aggression are the prime determinants of success. This is the type of framework under which…

What ethical obligation? No such obligation exists. 

Black people can’t be centrists?

It’s the centrists just wanting to feel safe again in the arms of good ol’ Uncle Joe, rather than in the “grab them by the pussy” mini- hands of cheetohead. People who are already otherwise secure in their lives and low-key despise poor people but want to be able to check out again like under Obama. If you like the…

Press briefings have made our govt neither transparent nor accountable at any time in the recent past. They’ve made a mouthpiece for an administration momentarily accountable for providing digestible tidbits on a very narrow range of topics. Curtailing them may be one of the most innocuous things any U.S. president…

TL;DR: They aren't. 

This site should just admit it’s a mean-spirited and ideologically confused US Weekly. I don’t know who it’s meant for exactly but it really doesn't know what it's trying to say. What do these people actually believe? Clicks equal righteousness? I despair for a generation of young women growing up on this site trying…

Isn’t it strange that a website that posts so voluminously about feminism is also so catty and demeaning of other women. I'm totally down with eating the rich but Beyonce and Jay-Z are included in that. These people aren't your friends. 

Good sex is typically about power too, power role-play at least. Sexual violence is an abuse of power. 

Some white women have to decided to rhetorically attempt to unlink themselves from their communities and families, as if they haven't been involved and complicit in nearly every act of white supremacy in American history. I know in this current ideological climate that may seem necessary, but it's frankly impossible…

Do you live in Chicago by any chance? Lincoln Towing? 

Most attitudes and almost all sociopolitical talking points are socially absorbed rather than arrived at through priniple or contemplation. Why do we keep expecting people from different spheres to not only know everything we do, but also agree with everything we think. So a woman in her 60's isn't as completely woke…

I live under a rock, so this is the first I’m hearing of the cancellation. This show went on quite a redemptive journey in my mind this season, mostly by ditching some of its relentless cynicism and replacing it with oddball corruption under the influence of Howerton. His embrace of the reality of his situation and…

Cabaret was the one that has stuck with me as something I’d like to see so I will definitely check it out. The 70's were chock full of great directors and great American films so I’m intrigued by the idea that his work was on par with some of the best American cinema of all time. I’ve been falling down a Criterion…

Having seen none of his films I’d have to defer to anyone who has. The show leaned heavily on the critical panning of much of his work, including a title card noting how poorly received Star 80 was in the final episode. Maybe his daughter was responsible for that uncharitable aspect of the show?

You’re right, perhaps his go at it wasn't as stylized or perhaps Gwen's personality was simply more affected and therefore more of a feat to mimic. As others have said though, while watching Williams I felt like I was watching Verdon whereas with Rockwell I felt I was watching Rockwell. It might be an unfair contrast…

You’re right but I think it did emphasize that in a lot of ways, his best work was done with her. How true that is to life I have no idea as a complete Fosse novice going in. As such, my original impression that he was a highly influential and somewhat hip choreographer in his day was dramatically altered by watching…

He stole 900k and only got 90 days in prison? 

I played Victoria for years and absolutely dominated. I’m now a 19th century technocrat essentially running imperial Sweden as a continental manufacturing powerhouse. These skills really do translate!
