Person shared an
article criticizing a person who believes we should just "get over"
the Cosby rapes. He also said we should get over OJ killing his wife. He's
another shitty legend. We will "make new legends."
Resident evil 6
features a fully naked female antagonist. She squats down and has obviously
suggestive poses during fighting her.
A friend describes
her evening with a male who needed to mansplain gaming culture and RPGs to her.
She is an active RPGer and a pillar in our gaming community.
An article pops up
discussing how Jessica Jones isn't sexist towards men. Because it's a concern
of men that it is.
Follow up: A white dude comments how he doesn't think Jessica Jones is sexist towards men and lists reasons why, as though sexism towards men is a thing.

An interesting
opinion piece comes up about Carrie Fisher's weight loss for Star Wars. Author
agrees that Disney had good reason for asking her to drop the weight (as they
would have Ford if he had "let himself go" over the years). Overall
good piece. Some poor choice of words.
Mentions many others
opinions on the weight loss. Note: I have yet to see many articles on Ford or
Hamill's prep for the movies.
Follow up: A white
dude decided to share one article noting that Hamill had to lose weight for his
role. Thanks white dude.
Pic of Judy Dench
saying age let her know that language holds power in it. And you can use that
language to put a fool in -his- place.
Pic of Hugh Dancy as
someone in a movie (I think the jane Austen book club) complaining girls don't
go for nice guys. Actress playing his opposite says often nice guys aren't
nice. Doesn't even begin to address the "nice guy" myth.
Female WWII pilots
are banned from a memorial cemetery. These women flew non combatant missions to
help free up male fighter pilots to do the fighting. They were military and
trained military. A rule says their ashes can't be laid to rest in the
cemetery.
Don Lemon tells
Kathy Griffin she has a nice rack. Apparently he was unaware she had "all
that going on up there"
The Atlantic
released an article on a small study in Ontario which studied the
"bitchiness" of women 20 - 25 in terms of dealing with other women. A
male ran the study. In conclusion, he felt that bitchiness is an evolved trait.
Strong notes of monogamy and the standard narrative as well as misogyny in the
hard sciences.
Resident evil 6
continues to constantly have Leon saving Helena (whose naked dead sister we
killed). Jake also saves Sherri all the time. Leon does shit on his own, Helena
doesn't need to save him. Giant shark zombie: Helena gets pulled under, Leon
grabs on to save her. Sigh.
A friend described
her Star Wars experience. She enjoyed it and agreed that Rey is not a Mary Sue.
Male partner says: I
see their point. She's too good.
Another friend talks
about the subtle sexism her long term partner displays, especially during
anger. Stereotypical responses to arguments that are horribly sexist. Partner
is a good guy and normally a good ally. The subtle way sexism enters our lives
is sometimes hard to see when we are the culprits. Partners are often left
wondering how to approach the issue, because calling your partner on sexism
often results in another fight.
Watching the news
about Jian Ghomeshi. It talks about how the character of the victims will be
attacked through questions of anything that could be relevant. Two cases have
already been dismissed because of a lack of evidence. His lawyer will get him
off. At least, I think so.
A review of pop
culture in 2015. They mention Caitlyn Jenner, who said the hardest part of
being a woman was figuring out what to wear at her woman of the year award
ceremony.
They talk about
Cosby and his ongoing issue with being a rapist. Apparently there were
accusations when he was in Canada over a decade ago. Sigh.
Another family show
had to defend the son who was found to be sexually abusing his younger sisters.
But the show said no and canceled it even though his parents supported him.
Robert Downey Jr. Is
up for a people's choice award for being iron man. Uhm. Okay.
Toyota Corolla
commercial shows man and his boss getting into separate cars. Compared boss'
expensive car to employees car. Ends with "boss approves of his new Corolla.
And so does she." As the boss' daughter gets into employees car.
A female defends
public breastfeeding. Her colleague threatens to grab her nipples.
The end of resident
evil 6 with Leon and Helena ends with this incredible line delivered by Leon: "Women."
A republican "family man" says he'll grab the nipples of public breast feeding moms if a law doesn't pass stating women cannot expose their nipples in public. He sees no problem with men being shirtless.
Takei shared a post about a man who tried to pinch a woman's butt and she hit him and knocked him down. Naturally he shared it using a pun. But assault apparently is a joke. And I'm not talking about her hitting him.
An image that says: "teach your daughters to worry less about glass slippers and more about breaking glass ceilings." One commenter says that girls are now too hard and treat men like shit and cheat on them.
Lena Dunham weighs in on Cosby, saying he belongs in hell and that he will forever be marked by this, like the girls he raped. Rob Puente at People.com tells her to sit her down and STFU, which would be doing the american people a favour, as her book names her a rapist and she's being hypocritical.
Coincidentally enough, my father just told me he didn't want to continue watching Jessica Jones because she's "crazy". I asked him what he meant, and my mother interrupted to say "She's been abused! Of course she needs to process that! What the hell is wrong with you calling a woman who has been abused crazy!?"
