Film study: Men talk and women show skin
When it comes to movie roles, women tend to be seen and not heard.
An analysis of the 100 top-grossing movies of 2008 shows that men had 67% of the speaking roles; women had about half that, 33%.
Men also were far more likely to work behind the camera. For every five male directors, writers or producers, there was one female.
At the same time, female characters were more likely to wear...

Teenage girls are the group most at risk of domestic violence, and many may be falling through the support net
Seriously though,
wingedwickedthings:
Why are feminists much more willing to accept theories telling them they are oppressed to theories telling them they’re equal? Seriously, they don’t even seem to consider the latter and just say, “NO NO NO, I am an oppressed woman and there’s nothing you can do about it!

"I've Decided there is a "Feminist Privilege""

WatchBy After Hours. I’m worried to go have a look at the comments and see the “But!!”s of the fans begin to try and dismantle the valid points they raise about the tokenism issues in the Star Wars theory.
Why are people so unwilling to ever look at something critically instead of through thick fangoggles?
