I say this with complete sincerity, there are times I envy those of us who can sit back and enjoy dumb shit like this because I cannot. The voice in the back of my head says things like “Why isn’t every other ferrous object within a hundred yards flying towards the magnet?”, “How does one pump industrial levels of…

While I’m normally all about the gendered biases in medicine, this articles seems a little excessive, given that we are learning, literally in real time, about both the coronavirus and Covid, and the vaccines. A year ago people were wiping down their mail or quarantining their packages. We only learned of efficacious…

Totally agree with if Joss got snacky because of the Quasimodo thing — but the article is reporting that Fisher disagreed with the notes that Geoff Johns (again, at the time, President / Chief Creative Officer of DC, and the guy who relaunched Teen Titans with Cyborg after the cartoon series) was giving him about…

Fisher also says that the studio insisted he have a catchphrase in the film—“booyah!”—while his cast members did not, and he likened it to the long cinematic tradition of shoveling the role of comedic relief onto Black actors and characters. “It seemed weird to have the only Black character say that,” he said.

I too am mystified by that statement.

“Sleeping with a 17-year old when you are 17 is still rape, you melted popsicle.”

What kind of middle school bullshit is this?

If your crew kicked someone’s ass at my jobsite because of their vehicle you would be immediately escorted off-site and be blackballed from working in the industry ever again. Once you got off-site you would be in the welcoming arms of the county sheriff to discuss your…

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!  Don’t give them any more ideas!

I’d do the patriarchy to her, I’d do the patriarchy to her hard.

god. why is every single piece of feminist literature so verbally dense and incomprehensible? i have decent reading comprehension(if not grammar) and i end up re-reading paragraphs multiple times trying to figure out what the point was. not arguing any of the actual points here, just something I’ve noticed with…

You’re against kink shaming, but then you kink shame.

Nah. Plenty of normal, everyday women love being degraded during sex. Or did you think only broken women liked bondage and/or dirty talk?

No I think it’s because we are human and repetition gets boring and novelty wears off. You’re overthinking things.

Hey, Andrea Dworkin, can Tracy have a fantasy without you attributing it to patriarchy? What turns us on, turns us on. Yes, the labiaplasty trend is worrying and awful, women do get their breasts done and sometimes it’s for the male gaze, but it’s a false equivalency to compare it to getting aroused by a sloppy…

If under 5% of all the men you ever had sex with actually took actions to give you pleasure... might I suggest:

Maybe it’s just me, but...

Fisher’s claims were so vague as to be impossible to really get behind. To my knowledge he never pointed to anything specific, which makes it harder to believe.
Charisma Carpenter just laid it all out there, and seems like she can provide receipts.   Gives her complaint a lot more credence.

They also tend to buy into the idea that books are a kind of empathy machine—that reading good books can make you a better person[.]

For me, ‘Never fuck someone who doesn’t own books’ is a shorthand, colloquial way of saying ‘Never fuck someone who lacks curiosity about the world’. But I also feel discombobulated when I’m at someone’s house and they have no books.

Really? I like Goodreads. I like keeping track of the books I’ve read and seeing what my friends are reading. And I’ve gotten turned on to a lot of new authors/book that way. That said, I rarely read the reviews.
