Under this cut are spoilers for City of Lost Souls, but also an in-depth discussion of what and sexual assault as it pertains to books in general and The Mortal Instruments in specific, with a discussion of rape culture and rape myths. There is also an excerpt from a scene…
The folks over at Comicbook interviewed Greg Rucka where he discusses the treatment of women by Hollywood and DC Comics. Rucka’s discussion of Hollywood comes in reference to the development of his Queen and Country for the big screen. That discussion, as you’ll see,…
I have a new history crush. Excuse me while I go build a time machine to find her and bear her children.
Julie D’Aubigny was a 17th-century bisexual French opera singer and fencing master who killed or wounded at least ten men in life-or-death duels, performed nightly shows on the biggest and most highly-respected opera stage in the world, and once took the Holy Orders just so that she could sneak into a convent and bang a nun. If nothing in that sentence at least marginally interests you, I have no idea why you’re visiting this website. (via Badass of the Week: Julie D’Aubigny, La Maupin) (thank you, Rachel!)
For some reason this made me think of Amuseoffyre. Probably because you do love to collect historical figures. :g:
#because sexist assholes need to shut the fuck up #i am tired of seeing these graphs that say girls only liked the movie for certain actors #because that shit is fucked up and not okay in any way
I also get tired of people who seem to think that, in order to be a powerful female, I can’t derive pleasure from attractive men, as if that somehow diminishes my intelligence or fitness as an independent and respectable individual. Yes, this graph is 100% true. But Hawkeye also has a nice ass and Loki is a fucking sex bomb. Saying that does not immediately nullify me. Get over it.
Also the Black Widow is perfect and hot like magma from head to toe and I’d fuck her silly if I had the chance. No, boys, you are not invited (Hawkeye is, however).
Think we have every angle covered now?
Not even sure why people ever thought fun movies/comics with good characters were ever outside the possibility of ladies’ interests.
