No one asked her to go on the campaign trail or even to expressly come out for Hillary. She could have just said or done something to indicate where she stood on issues of sexual assault, choice, and sexism in general. That’s an extremely low bar, and yet she failed to clear it.

I think the issue is that he characterizes the struggle she is describing as her being this wispy, little, fragile girl that he wants to protect, even as he describes her body. Gomez was talking about how women should be allowed to not be perfect, the writer was talking about how dollish she was. I found he framed…

I think that’s where I get annoyed with her. She has no problem using feminism to defend herself or to promote her products, but Swift RARELY ever references feminism under any other context. She talks about “girl power” primarily in reference to herself, only extending the idea out to others to make her message more…

Yeah, I’m confused with the responses to this as it seems Heather is simply pointing out a moment that is potentially homophobic or transphobic and her disappointment with it. Those forms of prejudice aren’t Western, they’re universal.

We could have had another Minish Cap??!?!?! God, I wish I didn’t know that. That game was so freaking good, I would have died.

Ansel Egort cannot talk to save his life. He’s already got a mumble mouth and then his idea of serious acting is to just say the lines even more incoherently. Stop casting him in things? It’s not as if he looks like Henry Cavill so you get why they went with the bad actor anyway.

I’ve been in and out of watching so I missed that! What a weird request. I don’t think I’ve ever heard dead eyes used in a positive way like that??

As similar as they look, India pops in that photo much more than Gigi ever has. Gigi would be fine in a catalog, but she rarely looks alive in her print work. She’s got dead eyes. India isn’t an inspired choice, but she’s at least interesting to look at in that photo.

The original post about this idea really intrigued me because it seemed less of what we got and more that the male writers would be exploring topics they don’t normally and specifically thinking about how all issues end up being women’s issues with how that relates to writing for a women’s website. I mean, this is…

When I was younger, we would send our family friends peanut butter along with Christmas and birthday gifts because it was just not sold in France and they were always craving it. I thought it was crazy as a kid who slathered peanut butter on everything, but your story makes a whole lot of sense now, haha.

It’s almost like it’s a controversy started by the dairy industry to protect themselves rather than anything legitimate.

“A new national pride is sweeping across the nation.” Like, he really just doesn’t get it, does it?

I’m getting tired of the Beauty and the Beast debate articles and was definitely expecting to see a couple threads on it here, lol. I think people just really like to be able to declare something as 100% feminist or not rather than simply critiquing through a feminist lens. (Also, seconding you on the Rihanna love.)

Ivanka is literally wearing a partially off-the-shoulder bright pink dress with icy, glittery eyeshadow. It’s, uh, quite the look for the House.

I mean, it mostly just sounds like she is nervous to be starring in a movie some people interpret to be “not feminist” and doesn’t want that to overshadow her efforts to be pro-woman. So, idk, I just can’t be that cynical or snarky about it. Emma knows that she’ll be singled out as being a fake feminist if the movie…

She’s playing herself so I’m not surprised she was good in it, but it was embarrassing to see the level of performances some of the other actresses brought when they were showing their clips. I would say both her and Meryl Streep were both there because they simply are good and overhyped, not that this particular…

I think the absurdity of the idea that he was handed the wrong envelope combined with the stress of not wanting to mess up is why Warren stumbled over reading it and looked shocked. Faye, and the rest of the audience, interpreted this as him extending it out for a dramatic pause. So when he shows her the card to…

See, this is what truly bugs me. Everyone else can admit that their political favorites have flaws and have to play games to make headway. Sanders relationship with the NRA clearly shows that, but his supporters are largely unable to admit it. I’m not even saying that makes him a bad person (although, gun regulations…

Lol, anyway, my general point is that I don’t care for Sanders concern-trolling the Dems when he himself isn’t a Dem and has positions that are antithetical uncompromising liberal hero he and his supporters portray him as.

Yeah, I literally don’t give a fuck what Sanders thinks the Democrats should do since he isn’t a damn Democrat. He can get back to being wishy-washy on gun regulations to the detriment of his constituents, lmao.
