So apparently Joss Whedon would like you to ignore what he says about himself being a feminist, in the context of his showsetc., because the author’s intention shouldn’t be relevant in deciding if a work is feminist. Sounds sensical, but I’d buy that a LOT quicker if he weren’t already milking the auteur role for everything […]

I don’t usually say things like this. Mostly because I don’t find it productive. But wow, hearing about what just happened to Micole as part of Racefail? That sort of broke me. The ‘progressive’ SF establishment? You can all kindly go fuck off and die. Right now. You fucking elitist self-aggrandizing asswipes. How dare you […]

Dollhouse. As Micole says, I have no political justification for liking it. But I can’t help but watch it. I suppose you’ve seen one post, you’ve seen them all, but I have something to say, so I’m gonna say it. Behind a cut (apologies to those on the feed) for spoilers because I am Nice […]

In case you thought I was being too hasty with my judgment about Catherine Hardwicke’s Twilight work a couple of weeks ago, it seems that my guess was dead on, according to this story from Nikki Finke (via Jezebel). Apparently production company Summit is confirming in not so many words (uh, ‘artistic differences’) what an insider […]

Saw Twilight. Did not pay to see it. You shouldn’t either. Yes, it is as bad as everything you’ve heard. If I think about what sorts of messages it sends and how many young women are buying into it, it seriously makes me want to cry.

I’m not feeling particularly well right now, but I’ve got something to say. 11/20 is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Because we need to remember the people who have lost their lives because of their gender identity. Remembering means we do not let things slip by, that we commit ourselves even in the smallest of […]

There are few things I loathe more in this world than being patronized, but unfortunately it’s either been happening a lot lately or I just read it as happening a lot lately. The global reaction to the Obama win has been…frustrating. While I know plenty of people internationally who have been following with interest and […]
