Once more, with feeling: Sarah Palin is not a feminist
|
Seriously, y'all - how many times does it have to be said? Sarah Palin is not a feminist. I thought we had covered Palin's gross appropriation of feminism and feminist rhetoric during the election, but media coverage of Palin's recent speech for the ant...[Read on] |

Can Feminism and Box Office Mix?
 |
So Jennifer’s Body tanked at the box office. From what I can tell the word of mouth among women is way better than the word of mouth among men. Vic Holtreman at Screen Rant took a unscientific look at the breakdown of the what reviewer thought and f...[Read on] |

DVD Alert- Revolutionary Road and Spring Breakdown

Consuming pop culture while feminist: Disney's The Little Mermaid

When I was a little girl, I loved Disney's The Little Mermaid. I mean, I loved it. I used to sit in front of the TV screen for hours at a time, rewinding the video as soon as the movie ended, to watch it all over again from the start. I used to - and I ca...[Read on] |
