I need to start watching Jane the Virgin because I have a huge crush on Jaime Camil. Ever since La Fea Mas Bella.

Thank god someone else did that! It’s only the second book I’ve ever been compelled to do that to in my lifetime (the other was Twilight - read it about 8 years ago not knowing it was a phenomenon, then was completely SHOCKED to find out it was this big thing, because it was bloody awful).

Yes. It’s the same “friendzone” mentality of “I did something nice for you so why aren’t we having sex? You’re such a tease!”

My favorite is “Lost and completely unfulfilled....until SURPRISE!Baby! Everything’s perfect now” I was so pissed when I read a book that I felt was great until the end when the woman suddenly found fulfillment in an unplanned baby and then immediately died because I guess she just couldn’t go up from there.

Jane the Virgin and Superstore are still on television.

can you imagine a world in which all of us decided to seek vengeance against our assailants full-time, movie style? especially considering many people have been assaulted more than once? we’d all be running around, not getting anything else done, amassing weapons or recruiting plucky best friends or whateverthefuck.…

Nailed it

Now I’m thinking of the worst scene in Age of Ultron. Joss needs to stop with all his female characters needing to be emotionally damaged broken birds with a hard exterior. Isn't fighting monsters enough?

Oh please don’t remind me of Revolution. It was so bad.

Meanwhile the guy version of this is “wife/girlfriend was killed”

No, not really. If you look at the words “Japs” is obviously Troglodyte Shorthand for “Japanese” but so is “Nips” because that is short for “Nippon.” “Gook” was originally specifically Troglodyte Shorthand for Korean because it originally was short for “Hangook” which is how Koreans refer to their country. Lastly,…

Was that the comparison between the Game of Thrones rape scene of Sansa Stark in comparison to the rape of Jamie Fraser in Outlander. The first being driven by the the titillation of the audience, slash other male in the scene vs the facial expression on the victim, therefore the emotional consequences of th facial…

Fucking yes. You know what my sexual assault did to my character? Nothing. I drank too much for a bit and occasionally got very drunk and told whichever poor person happened to be nearest to me all about it. I got absolutely hammered the day the statue of limitations expired. And I continued moving on with my life. It…

This is why I refuse to watch Game of Thrones.

THIS. If I suspect a movie/show will contain a sexual assault scene I’ll ask around for confirmation. If it does, I’ll skip it, don’t care how good the rest of it is.

Ew. Is that why some men get pissy when a woman isn’t overly grateful for perceived acts of chivalry? Like bitch I saved you from that closed door, vanquishing its closed-ness by opening it for you so that you may walk into thy building. Now do me, you owe me.

... rape is still depicted as sexy, what are you watching.

The Boys comic covered this very well. People who haven’t experienced sexual assault or researched it can come to some very strange conclusions and use it as catch all for drama. Of course rape was often depicted as sexy until the 90's.

I read an awesome discussion of treatment of rape scenes. In Outlander (sorry, I love it) there were two attempted rapes back to back (!) and one was directed by a man, one a woman. In the male directed scene, there’s all kinds of T&A, with improbable positioning to get the most out of the forced nudity. It’s also all…

True fact: I commented on the video of Foster’s comments on Variety’s facebook page agreeing with her and got called a “feminazi” and told that it was “female nature” for female characters who have been attacked to want to immediate have a romantic/sexual relationship with their male hero rescuer.
