I have absolutely no idea.

I spend too much time on my computer. I watch a lot of tv-shows. There is nearly no show i haven't watched at some point... I'm 21 and live somewhere in Europe. And I don't know what I'm doing.

slow-burning gay romance in a story which isn’t itself primarily about being gay. characters must be middle-aged and sort of boringly domestic. cooking and home decorating should be involved.

“Yes, being in a female dominated field, I do know what it means to be marginalized. “

oh

my

god

omg

oh my fucking god

[freedominwickedness]

The really ugly part is they’ve actually done multiple sociological studies on this, and guess what the result is? Men in female-dominated fields aren’t marginalized at all; they get special treatment and are fast-tracked to the top, getting more credit for their work, faster promotions, and greater pay and benefits than their female colleagues.

Here’s one study. Here’s another. And another.

I always think it’s weird when people are embarrassed by baby pictures 

being all oh no my mom’s bringing out my baby pics this is the worst 

but I’m like I peaked as a baby. that was my cutest self. I’m never gonna top that let’s only look at baby pictures for the rest of my life please

I just left my husband alone with our two children for sixteen days. I was not worried about anything regarding the house, their food, or their wellbeing. I put all the appointments in the family calendar and my husband checked it and kept them. I literally did not worry about them. I missed them, and I was sad that they missed me, but I didn’t worry about them AT ALL. I need to impress upon you all that I missed their company, but was not worried for their welfare.

I also did no meal prep. I don’t even think I went shopping right before I left.

This is not about apples and oranges. This isn’t even about my husband. This is about the fact that this is apparently WEIRD.

Another mum at my daughter’s school is leaving for ten days. She’s taking her youngest (who is a very small baby) and leaving her husband with their two girls. She has been cooking for days preparing freezer meals. She’s panicking and deputizing her six year old to remind him how to make school lunches. AND I AM APPALLED.

A) He is definitely not helpless. (He’s a doctor or something.) What gendered bullshit. B) THAT LITTLE GIRL IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HER AND HER SISTER’S WELLBEING. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. C) Why is she married to this person and creating children with him if he’s this big of an idiot?

While she was laughingly recounting this, the other mums were nodding and smiling sympathetically, like oh yes, I too have my caveman at home!! Such managing required! I was the only one who was like “Dude, he’ll be fine. Literally. He will be fine.” I said it a lot. She was not convinced. She kept bringing up her older daughter. She’ll be like a little mum!

NO.

NO NO NO NO.

NO.

Straight women, don’t do this shit. It’s gross. Don’t infantilize your husbands and then expect your daughters to pick up the slack. So fucking gross. So. So. GROSS.

[fozmeadows]

The fact that so many adults think a six year old girl is more capable of learning and performing basic domestic tasks than a grown-ass man says it all, really.

Right alongside this, can we stop calling Dad watching the kids “babysitting,” like it’s not expected that fathers actually parent? Men are not idiots. If he is, don’t marry him/have kids with him.

My dad isn’t a great cook, and my mom has done the “freeze meals ahead of time” thing, but that’s it. He knows how to heat food up, he can do his own laundry, and he was totally fine taking care of my brother and I when Mom was away. Mom never panicked, thinking he couldn’t be an actual parent. Ever.

look I have nothing against Brie Larson as a person or an actor but her casting feels like an undeniable result of the cultural fixation with Women Under Thirty

okay so I fired this off on my phone just as a thought but let me elaborate on this a little:

Carol Danvers is a Colonel in the US Air Force.

Even if we accept that Carol was promoted at younger age than most, that kind of promotion doesn’t come lightly. According to military-ranks.org (a website that I have no reason to question):

By law, colonels must have twenty-two years of service and a minimum of three years of service as a lieutenant colonel. Most colonels spend three years as a lieutenant colonel before being promoted.

I think it’s pretty widely established that Carol joined the Air Force as soon as she was 18, which would place her squarely at age 40 after the minimum 22 year service, assuming she got promoted as soon as she was eligible.

What I’m getting at here is that, unless the Marvel Cinematic Universe is stripping Carol of her illustrious military history, there’s no damn reason for her to played by a 26 year old. At all.

… Unless they think a woman in her forties has no business being a superhero, in which case I’d like to direct your attention to Jeremy Renner (cast as Hawkeye at 40), Ben Affleck (Batman at 43), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man since age 44), and Paul Rudd (debuting as Ant-Man at forty-fucking-six).

Listen to me. Listen. Women over forty are badasses. ¾ of the new Ghostbusters cast are women in their 40′s. Ming-Na Wen is kicking asses and taking names all over Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. at 52. Those old ladies from Mad Max: Fury Road - including Megan Jaffer, who’s 78 - did their own fucking stunts.

If you think Walt Disney was the first person to create a feature length animated film you’re wrong. The first person to do it was a woman – Lotte Reiniger. See more about how her silhouette stop motion worked.
