Hilarious Feminist Post of the Day

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Twisty’s at it again, ripping apart an article about supposed gender difference; first, there’s a discussion of differences in mathematical ability:

I’m so sick of this math thing. Math! Who sits around doing math? Men? Come on. Men sit around looking at porn.

Then, the article pats women on the head by proclaiming that women aren’t completely controlled by hormones. Twisty’s reaction:

No shit? Women aren’t insensate slaves to their primordial ladyparts, tearing through their lives on menses-stained runaway hormone roller coasters?

You’ll have to read the whole thing to get the complete takedown, but a short summary is:

[D]udes sure like it when internet “science” articles “prove” that misogynist bigotry is reasonable.

The Dark Knight: quick review

Monday, July 28th, 2008
  • This movie was approximately 17-24% too long.
  • Heath Ledger really is that good in it.
  • Two Face’s makeup was bad, as was the transformation from Harvey Dent to Two Face.
  • It’s great to have Maggie Gyllenhaal along, maybe you could give a really talented actress an interesting part, or maybe just a good line or two?
