A 'strong female character'

Tue, 21 May 2013 18:38:34 -0400

DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN

a character who is physically strong

a character who is mentally strong

a character who is emotionally strong

ABSOLUTELY MEANS

a character who makes her own choices, even if they’re mistakes

a character whose point of view is explored at least briefly

a character who is the hero of her own story whether she knows it or not

And that’s just a strong character, really.

What do I mean by “this shit”?

That thing where ignoring people’s physical and psychological boundaries is an act of love.

Hell. No.

positive role models from my childhood

My favorite movie during childhood. My brother and I watched it so much that we wore down the tape.

What is the name of this movie? I know I watched it but it’s been so long since I’ve seen it I was beginning to think I dreamt it.

White Men, Everyone Else: Gender and Ethnic Diversity on Cable News

Media Matters spent the month of April reviewing evening guests on cable news. The results, unfortunately, don’t surprise: CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC “overwhelmingly host male and white guests.”

Read through for the details as the watchdog group breaks down the numbers for each network. We learn, for instance, that “Out of 1,677 total guests, CNN had the largest proportion of men — 76 percent — during the month of April;” and “Fox News had the largest proportion of white guests — 83 percent.”

Hat tip to Chris Hayes, whose show is the most diverse in cable evening news. And getting there isn’t very difficult. “We just would look at the board and say, ‘We already have too many white men. We can’t have more,’” Hayes told Ann Friedman at the Columbia Journalism Review back in March. “Really, that was it.”

“You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious.”

- When comments are better than the article, Atlantic edition (“The Cheapest Generation: Why Millennials arent’ buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy”)

Every time someone says we’re a lazy and entitled generation I’m going to show them this

They should be happy most of us haven’t moved to the moon yet

That actually sounds like a good idea at this point

Women do not have to:

Mon, 13 May 2013 20:15:00 -0400

vegankatie:

be thin

give birth

cook for you

have long hair

wear makeup

have sex with you

be feminine

be graceful

shave

diet

be fashionable

wear pink

love men

be the media’s idea of perfection

listen to your bullshit

have a vagina

This is very true, but it’s important to remember that if a woman is feminine, graceful, shaves, diets, wears make up, or does any of these things in the list, it doesn’t make her a slave to patriarchy or any less of a feminist than you.

“When someone asks, ‘Which three books have meant the most to you?’ I can answer without having to think: The Great Gatsby, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov, and Raymond Chandler’s The Long Goodbye. All three have been indispensable to me (both as a reader and as a writer); yet if I were forced to select only one, I would unhesitatingly choose Gatsby. Had it not been for Fitzgerald’s novel, I would not be writing the kind of literature I am today.” - Haruki Murakami
