The Media:
But is there some element of truth to that statement?
Bernie Sanders:
College tuition is free in Germany, even for citizens of other countries. It’s also free in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Ireland and Mexico. Why can't we offer the same sort of privilege?
The Media:
WhAT is this cRAZy man trying to DESTROY our country and our values. How DARE he???? Just disgusting. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
I WOULD have reblogged this really cool thing I read about Mad Max: Fury Road, if the person hadn’t called it a “feminist” movie.
Yes, it was a very good movie, and it had many strong female characters, but it was not a feminist movie.
It’s not yours. it wasn’t made for you. Just because you enjoyed it doesn’t make it “feminist”.
Was it advertised as feminist? No. Was it MADE to be feminist? No. As a matter of fact, Charlize (Furiosa) even said “
George [Miller] didn’t have a feminist agenda up his sleeve” - and despite her pushing Mad Max as a feminist movie, it wasn’t one. It was just a good move.
Fuck off. Seriously.
ummmmmmmm, just on logic terms this is completely nonsensical
say you never intended to throw a ball into a basket but it lands there anyway and everyone’s like “THAT WAS SUCH A GREAT FREE THROW”, would you react with such vitriol and say “FUCK OFF BASKETBALL FANS, I NEVER INTENDED IT TO BE A FREE THROW”
like what is so wrong with fury road being appreciated for respecting women??? we’re not trying to grab it away from you, we’re just saying “so mad max respects women and we, as feminists, REALLY ENJOY IT THANK YOU GEORGE MILLER.”
[rubs my icky GIRL hands all over mad max fury road] this is MINE now
We’ve bought a new house. And our new next door neighbours (two delightful gentlemen) will not stop being nice.
- bought us a seagull proof refuse bag (yes, they are actual things)
- loaned us garden tools when we didn’t have any
- invited us around for Friday night drinks so we could meet the other people on the lane
- one of them brought me a bunch of sweetpea flowers that he’d picked from his garden
- and tomorrow he’s coming to cut our hedge for us with his electric hedge trimmer thing idk, and all I have to do is hold the ladder.
Basically, I am UNSETTLED and am now having to enter into an arms race of niceness and I am already so behind oh god.
Long story short - I just baked a lemon drizzle cake, and it looks great but I can’t even eat it because MR AND MR NICE MUST RECEIVE AN OFFERING.
ABSOLUTE CRISIS I GAVE THEM THE LEMON DRIZZLE AND THEN THEY INVITED ME IN TO HAVE A SLICE AND A COFFEE WITH THEM AND GAVE ME A TOUR OF THEIR HOUSE AND LET ME HOLD THEIR PUPPY. AND THEN THEY CAME AROUND TO HELP ME BAG UP THE HEDGE CLIPPINGS. THESE MEN ARE NICENESS PROS AND I CANNOT WIN.
HELPWE HAD AN HOUR LONG POWER CUT ON THE STREET AND IN THAT TIME THE OTHER MR NICE CAME AROUND WITH MATCHES AND CANDLES ‘JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN’T HAVE ANY’. IT WAS BARELY DARK.
BASTARDS - I’M GOING TO HAVE TO HOST A DINNER PARTY AREN’T I?
the main difference between the women’s cup and the men’s cup is that when the ladyballers fall down they just get up and carry on playing instead of sobbing dramatically as though their limb was severed by a combine harvester
