I initially thought this would be an annoyingly bro-tastic film with guidance and support strictly coming from the men in Superman’s life. But women play an equal role (although sadly their lives revolve around men), the importance of both femininity and masculinity is stressed and the film attempts to deconstruct hyper-masculinity.
Originally published at Bitch Flicks as part of Women of Color in Film and TV Week. Yelling to the Sky struck a visceral chord with me. I related to it in a way I often don’t with films. I’m not a biracial woman growing up impoverished, who turns to selling drugs as a means of …

Reproductive justice AND swearing like a sailor?? Do you love these 3 posters half as much as I do??? ColorLines reported California-based artist and activist Favianna Rodriguez designed these images with women of color (love that!) accompanied by colorful language. She created the posters on International Women’s Day in response to douchebag Rush Limbaugh’s bullshit … Continue reading
Written by Lady T. Originally published at The Funny Feminist. Reprinted with permission. [I swore to myself I wouldn’t write about this, but I can’t seem to help it.] Rush Limbaugh said something vile and misogynistic about Sandra Fluke. A lot of people got justifiably angry.

I don’t have a daughter. Nor do I have sisters or nieces. But I often think what if I had a daughter? What would I want her to know? What would I have wished someone had told me when I was young? If I could give my younger self advice, what would I say? Continue reading

Cupcake Wars has had 3 fabulous vegan contestants before: Chloe Coscarelli, Kim Garr of C’est La V, and Doron Petersan of Sticky Fingers Bakery. But they’ve never … Continue reading
Sexism, misogyny and slut-shaming pervade our culture. Women’s bodies are continually policed and judged. Nothing shows that better than asshat pundit Rush Limbaugh’s recent slew of insults to activist Sandra Fluke. As you probably know by now, conservative radio pundit, aka misogynistic douchebag, Rush Limbaugh called activist Sandra Fluke a “slut” and a “prostitute.” … Continue reading

Originally published at Bitch Flicks. So I groaned the moment I discovered Seth Rogen was hosting the Independent Spirit Awards, which aired last Saturday night on IFC. I mean, after his shitshow appearance at the Golden Globes, making that sexual harassment comment to Kate Beckinsale on-stage, I’m all set with him. When announcer director John … Continue reading
