People say, “Your movie’s not just a gay movie.” I’m like, “But it is a gay movie.”

This week Sanne Wevers finished her (gold medal winning) balance beam routine and started calculating her score on paper. The dumb guy NBC commentator some thing about her writing in her diary and the gal NBC commentator (who is likely a former gymnast) had to correct him and explain she was checking her score. She…

BobbySerious, Gawker’s resident rape apologist/rapist*, once explained at length that he didn’t care how many peer-reviewed studies showed that women do drastically more housework than men — he knows for a fact that he and his friends do AT LEAST half the housework in their homes, and that’s WAY better evidence than…

The perception gap is so fucking real and goddamn depressing. We see it on a macro and micro level.

They should have taken the poll further and asked whether or not they thought women now had an advantage over men because of “reverse sexism” or whatever the hell they call it. I bet the numbers would have been quite illuminating.

You are the one who brought skinny-shaming into the discussion where it didn’t need to be. You and your humblebrag can have several seats.
