“National Geographic called me and asked me to write the feminist facts about how The Lion King gets lion pride dynamics all wrong. I happily complied. Lions are matrilineal!! 

When I contacted Craig Packer, one of the world’s leading lion researchers, to talk  about this story he was IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE. He Skyped me almost instantly from a camp in Kenya and said he’s been waiting for someone to ask him this question since the original film came out.

Anyway, if The Lion King were real, Nala would be the star, Sarabi would be holding her up saying everything the light touches is our kingdom, Simba would have left and never come back, and when Nala got old enough Sarabi would have carved out a territory for her to rule.”

In real life, Simba’s mom would be running the pride

UPDATE:

“Reasons men gave for lecturing me on lion pride social structure and telling me one of the world’s leading lion researchers is wrong (I am not kidding these are real): -Watched The Lion King DVD extras -Read a textbook 25 years ago -Has been to the zoo -Everyone just knows

If you ever wondered what it’s like to be a woman that communicates science, this is what it’s like. Any expertise you or your sources may have gained over decades of hard work are null and void because someone watched a DVD extra 25 years ago.”

can we do away with the narrative that ted bundy was this charismatic mastermind?

people who knew him growing up said he never fit in, was socially disconnected and weird, and constantly tried to frame himself as better than he was.

he wasn’t constantly wooing women—he had few girlfriends and one his victims who survived his attack literally described him as creepy. his college sweetheart dumped him for being pathetic, directionless, and insecure. the women who wrote him love letters had clear issues with men and were warped into finding “bad boys” attractive.

his victims were not won over by his charm—he either broke into their homes at night, attacked them when they were alone, targeted children, or played the part of a cop or man with a broken arm in need of help loading something into his car. he used violence and subterfuge, not charm, to hurt women and girls.

one of his lawyers described him as unpleasant and blatantly self obsessed. if you listen to his interviews, he sounds blatantly fake, like someone trying too hard to seem intelligent, normal, and likable. it’s a facade and not even a good one.

the media created the image of a charming man because he was a white, average looking, conservative dude and that automatically put him in a positive light in their eyes.

i’ve noticed recently that the majority of the people who met him and say that he was “charming/good-looking/funny/a genius” are MEN. almost every woman who actually encountered him and lived (aside from the small handful he and the media managed to brainwash into liking him) said that he was arrogant, disgusting, and not at all likable. it’s almost as if ted bundy was just an average woman hating hardcore republican and white men who met him connected with him in the way that they were all the same. bundy was just the one who actually ended up getting so angry at women (especially young women with agency and young girls) that he ended up acting on shit they’d all felt: violence connected with a sexual desire to hurt, maime, abuse, brutalize, to tear us apart until we became pliable. that’s why you see videos of him laughing and joking with the judge (who was a rich old white man) and other lawmen in the courtroom. that’s why men pretend to be mystified by him. that’s why men think he was some sort of innovating genius. he wasn’t. he was just a narcissistic misogynist. women didn’t fall for his shit. men did. and that’s how he kept getting away with it until he didn’t. that’s how he escaped prison twice. that’s how his girlfriend’s cries for help were ignored. that’s how movies that treat him like a dark comic are made. by men.
