You're right and I'm not sure what to make of it. Her hair and mode of dress isn't what I'd think of as typically male gaze friendly. Then again, she's usually not wearing much at all. I dunno. I haz confused.

I agree whole heartedly. I wish feminism would come to mean we can meet at the table and have a real discussion of gender politics with the understanding that we're all coming from the single place of believing all genders are created equal.

I'm not sure why you chose to reply to my comment with this.

It's ill defined and not a cohesive school of thought put forward by a large number of feminists likely because anyone who has put some thought into it abandons the concept altogether. It seems to be most popular with younger people who don't have much real world experience. But basically it seems to go something like…

Please tell me they're going to call it "The Girlie Show."

Well, you've inadvertently pointed out a chink in her feminist armor. She's doing what she's doing for money. Because she knows she'll be rewarded for certain behaviors. These aren't unadulterated choices she's making.

Yeah, that's not exactly what I meant but I see how it could be oversimplified in that manner.

I don't even know what you mean by that.

As I said to someone else: I'm not saying she can't do what she wants. But further exploration of of what she is doing and why is warranted. Also, exploration of why she is successful in doing certain things when others might not be is important.

Hah. I'm not saying she can't do what she wants. But further exploration of of what she is doing and why is warranted.

The very crux of all that is wrong with choice feminism in two words: Miley Cyrus.

Ahh! I hate that! I'm going to pretend I never saw it.

Err. She's not saying size 8 is flabby, she's saying she wants to be a toned size 8. She's talking about body-fat vs muscle.

74% of people prefer Pam Anderson's plastic looking Real-Wives-of-Reality-TV hair extensions to that glorious pixie?? 74% of people are idiots. Idiots!

I said this over at io9 but I'm saying it again. I'm annoyed they didn't use any of the original score. The part starting at ~2:34 is so very Maleficent to me. Imagine if they had that choir singing that "do doo do, BAHH!" instead of what they used. Disney! Pay attention!

It almost reminds me of that botched restoration of the Jesus fresco. So damn horrible.

You are always right. Red Mango is so much better than Pinkberry.

Hm. I think he looks like Matthew Lewis.

If you do a google search for "avril lavigne ring" you'll see. Unless that's a different ring she's wearing? Maybe she has multiple giant diamond rings.

This is actually and literally the face I made when I saw her ring. I've never actually dry heaved at something like this before. I'm amazed at how hideous her ring is and I'm amazed at my physical reaction to it.
