Quote reblogged from Disney with a splash of Feminism!When she landed her own show on MSNBC during the 2008 election, there was a real sense of Charlie Bucket’s Golden Ticket novelty about it. An unabashed lesbian with a butch sensibility who earned a PhD from Oxford and refused to capitulate to the lowest common denominator in her punditry, the country just sort of patted her on the head like Willy Wonka and said, “Well, you’re just lucky to be here, aren’t you?” Fast forward to 2102 and Maddow is the voice of forward-thinking America. She’s the go-to political pundit on cable TV, the go-to panelist on beltway news shows, and the go-to bartender on late night talk shows. People in the right-wing media and conservative politicians might get a giggle from saying she “looks like a boy,” but none of them have the balls to brain-up against her on her show, despite her repeated invitations even to folks like Dick Cheney……It was appropriate that the butchy gay lady with the hipster glasses and the skater shoes and the jeans on under her desk ushered in the liberal mandate of 2012. Times, indeed, are a-changin’. And anyway, Charlie Bucket inherited that chocolate factory in the end.

Photoset reblogged from Fuck yeah, feminists!
However you feel about Anne, bravo to her for this take down.
Watch interviews with her and with ScarJo about their comic book films. Watch how they always get questions about their bodies and clothing and diets and blah blah blah fucking blah. Watch as the male cast members do not get the same treatment.
Because apparently all we care about when it comes to actresses are their bodies and not, ya know, their acting.
WAIT. JUST. A HOT. SECOND.
Is this the same asshat who asked ScarJo if she wore underpants under her costume for Avengers?
Because if so, someone needs to take this guy’s press pass away, because he’s cruisin for a bruisin.
THAT LOOKS LIKE THE SAME DUDE IS IT JUST ME
Imma need him to NOT.
I think the most important thing to note about this constantly asking actresses “how did you lose weight for your role” problem is that the interviewers aren’t asking because they genuinely think that that is the best an actress can bring to a film - watching the dark knight rises or the avengers, you are so aware of the greatness Hathaway brings (best performance IMO) and the supreme importance of Black Widow - but because they know that young girls are most interested in how they can lose weight to look like Anne Hathaway or Scarlett Johanson, and that is 10 times more sinister, unnerving, and down right dangerous.
god i wanna punch this guy in the face
Gotta love the snarky comeback. We gotta start getting actresses to do this across the board.
Also currently in love with Anne Hathaway.

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “JIF.”
NOT GIF,
JIF.
And here is the link for the opposite.
WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.
According to all of my friends and these tumblr notes, I’ve been wrong all this time but… Honestly, “gif” just sounds really, really awkward to me. I hate the way it feels on my tongue. :/
