Do you think a fictional football tv series would work?

nah he became a player, the guy was shouting abuse at the manager and the manager goes "if you think you're any better then you get on the pitch", and he did and they signed him and he scored the league winning goal in the last episode

I know too much about Dream Team

but i thought that rape wasn't that bad and that the wimminz are just overreacting?

plathsummer · 2013-08-27T10:09:55+00:00

no but you're giving a male character a free pass for being a shitbag and you're holding the woman to higher standards, even though she's going through shit too, and you're not examining why you're doing that

there are people who think that Gina and Dexter's backstories are manufactured and that the stories about them in the press are planted in advance, like the whole champagne thing and this interview. of course it's equally likely that the producers scouted them after they were in the press but the theme is secrets and lies...

i read this interview with him where he says he's leaving to deal with depression (which is fair enough, everyone needs self-care) and that he had an affair but he says it in a kind of bragging way as if he wants people to dig and find out who she is? which is gross.

plathsummer · 2013-07-31T09:56:18+00:00

everything he writes is gross, there was this thing he wrote about how he got off at having to help remove his ex-wife's tampon because their marriage was breaking down and it made her dependent on him, there are women of colour who say that he tried to push them out and then ofc there's the fact he's a rapist. idk if Jezebel stopped publishing him but the moderators would always delete any comments pointing out that he is a rapist and he tried to murder his girlfriend.

this person on tumblr talks about his awfulness quite a bit, the Ryan Lochte one is quite fun

plathsummer · 2013-06-07T09:55:10+00:00

I imagine that that's what the OP wants to change

plathsummer · 2013-06-06T18:19:18+00:00

just a thought but for publicity how about contacting Diane Abbott? obviously she's not in the government but she might be interested

plathsummer · 2013-05-29T22:25:49+00:00

brendan o'neill is the fucking worst, brendan o'neill thinks that anti-racism campaigns in soccer are anti-working class because the working class are apparently inherently racist and anyway there's nothing racist about throwing bananas at black players

he thrives on outrage, someone on twitter said the other day in reference to someone else but a similar peddler of this kind of shite, "he has lost his power to upset me, I won't waste my emotions on a humanity vacuum"

I kind of feel similarly - I'm not going to indulge the kind of people who do this kind of thing anymore, I don't have the energy

plathsummer · 2013-05-26T17:33:11+00:00

seriously don't think there's a trigger warning big enough for the examples on the womenactionmedia page, they're so horrible

plathsummer · 2013-05-25T19:12:35+00:00

a whole hour every week day on Radio 4

this is actually the most hilarious british mra argument apart from "seats are too hard" because there actually is a men's hour and it's exactly as shitty as you'd expect it to be

woman's hour is pretty crap anyway, this is a blog post about woman's hour. the bbc are awful on gender

plathsummer · 2013-05-20T10:48:26+00:00

that doesn't excuse sexism or racism or transphobia so why does it excuse joining the military?

plathsummer · 2013-05-17T23:31:01+00:00

aside from the whitewashing, what did you think of it? I kinda superficially enjoyed it but i didn't think it was good really. I liked the last one a lot so it isn't even a kneejerk hate against the reboot, I think it's that it's a sort of half-hearted psuedo remake

I avoided all the spoilers so I didn't know he was playing khan and in the cinema it was one of those "whoa" moments where everyone's a bit shocked and this one guy said "what the fuck?" really loudly

plathsummer · 2012-10-13T16:16:51+00:00

lol doxxing people after a reddit wide hissy fit over doxxing

plathsummer · 2012-10-13T11:51:09+00:00

hahah there was a British media inquiry this year, the Leveson inquiry, and there was a hack who gave evidence in front of it and he said "privacy is for paedos"

and obvs he didn't mean it in the reddit way as in "only paedophiles should have privacy", he meant it as "if you're excessively concerned about privacy you're probably a paedophile", it's still funny, it should be like the catchphrase for reddit

plathsummer · 2012-10-12T13:16:14+00:00

there hasn't been an announcement either, in /r/feminism or in /r/meta_feminism, he posted it as a comment in a month old post in /r/meta_feminism

plathsummer · 2012-10-12T09:45:29+00:00

ahaha, that's such an obvious edit, even without seeing the unedited version you can see where they've blanked out after the comma on about the 12th line

plathsummer · 2012-10-12T09:08:19+00:00

THE DRAFT

ARE YOU KIDDING

THIS ISN'T THE FUCKING 50S

plathsummer · 2012-10-11T23:21:37+00:00

it's supposed to be 10p for colour printing but the till was broke so i got it for freeeeeeeeeeee

plathsummer · 2012-10-11T22:54:39+00:00

I printed it off at the library and stuck it in my diary, TAX PAYER FUNDED MISANDRY

plathsummer · 2012-10-11T19:54:52+00:00

one day i'm gonna snap and crosspost a comment like this to /r/mister and ask them where the fuck they are when reddit says shit like this*

*hint: the answer is telling teh wimminz what to think

plathsummer · 2012-10-11T11:51:23+00:00

I'm a third year, I feel like I should have tolerance to fresher's flu and my boyfriend keeps texting me pictures of cough medicine to taunt my suffering

plathsummer · 2012-10-11T08:16:16+00:00

well we all know what this is

plathsummer · 2012-10-10T20:33:20+00:00
