The FFIX poster is pretty cool too!

If any FF fan didn't get the chills, I feel sorry for you. Such great stories, such great games. (I also love these posters, I tell you what)

You can 100% fuck off with this article. If you don't want to pay $600 for a flight/hotel, do not come to the wedding. It is that simple. We had many family members across the country who could not swing plane fare for our wedding, and although they were dearly missed we absolutely understood. I was very grateful and…

So, here's the thing- an invite is just that, an invitation to attend. It's not a mandate and there's a reason why there's a "no" box on the RSVP. I had plenty of people decline for our wedding because it was too expensive to get there, or their budget was allocated to travel for a holiday a few weeks later. I have…

Isn't the simple answer here to just not go to every wedding you're invited to? I've been invited to destination weddings/showers/parties and it is always really easy: Sorry "X" - I'd love to celebrate with you but I/we just can't afford to do that right now. I hope you have an amazing day - I can't wait to see…

The text on the website is so beautiful in it's poor translation.

But I think that's really because we're socially conditioned to think it's weird and off-putting for a man to want to try to be sexy - because women are supposed to be the objects of desire, not men. It's the same as how we would find it weird for a man to wear a thong or strike a sexy pose (though those things seem…

ellen page is so right. i love inventing my own movie montage while i'm running.

My favourite part was the response of the whitening of a character in order to avoid allegations of racism.
"We like ethnically diverse characters, but we have to work with what we got, and what we got, it's pretty racist."

Censorship would be banning it. Criticizing it is just as protected as publishing it. And a lot of the strongest critics of the way women are portrayed in comics are avid comic book fans. So yes, we can talk about the way female superheroes are drawn.

Boob-hole for the ladies, crotch-hole for the men, it's only fair.

I am also expecting a daughter, and we are on a pediatrician hunt. I expressed a desire for a female pediatrician so that when the time comes that she may or may not want birth control, and might feel uncomfortable talking to me about it, she can go to her doctor and maybe feel safer asking for it. Now, I broached…

You entirely missed the point. But I'll bite at your comment anyway. I'll believe this doesn't have patriarchal roots the moment I see a father recite a poem warning all the girls his future son may date not to break his heart, too.

Your friend is wise. And I'm glad that asshole is your ex; good for you for managing to get out. Your daughter will be so much better for it (and obviously you too).

Why do dads need to do it at all, though? My dad didn't. And I've had nothing but wonderful boyfriends.

I am commenting without watching the video (that will have to wait until I'm not at work), but the Overprotective Daddy thing creeps me the hell out. I was recently talking with a friend about my ex-husband, who would joke about breaking the neck of any guy who ever hurt our (not even two-year-old!) daughter, and…

But...you know that a woman can have her heart broken no matter how great her dad is, right? It's just one of those things that happens to people sometimes.

I kinda want pictures of people who don't all look hipsterish. Like I like that the pictures have a spectrum, but it's a kinda limited spectrum.

I totally see where you're coming from. On the other hand, I also see a benefit to exposing the dehumanizing effect of giving in to the patriarchal demand that women be beautiful and eternally youthful. This is maybe not the nicest way to do it. Personally I didn't laugh while I watched this, but I did feel a stronger…
