Topics I've Started

Star Wars Petition

06 January 2013 - 10:58 AM

Hey everybody! It's been like, ten years since I've been on this forum!
As per my feminist ways, I have started a petition to the creators/writers/director (s) to make the main character of the new Star Wars franchise female. I have posted this on Reddit and have received both positive and negative views ("Its Star Wars not kitchen wars", "Don't ruin Star Wars!" Etc.). But I am hoping that even if you guys don't sign it, that it will as least spark an excellent discussion about the need for more women in lead roles in movies like this.

Thanks for reading, thanks if you sign and thanks if you leave a comment, good or bad.

Happy New Year everybody!!

Anybody seen it? Anyone else cry when they found out it was canceled?
Bad acting aside, its a pretty awesome show and a really neat concept

Halloween Costumes.....

25 September 2012 - 07:26 PM

I've been MIA for a while, as per life...but I recently posted on my blog about Halloween costumes for women, and how the only options we have are Sexy, Skimpy and "Slutty".
Don't even get me started on Superhero costumes: Iron Woman, Female Captain America/Thor, Supergirl...they are all female versions of male characters (and all consist of tiny skirts and skimpy tops)
Thoughts on the matter?
What are peoples best and worst costumes?
And, what are you planning on dressing up as this year?

Song of Ice and Fire- show/book

05 August 2012 - 06:43 PM

Can't believe there isn't a thread about this yet.
I've watched the show, and read the books (except Dance with Dragons, please warn about spoilers..) and they are absolutely amazing. I want George R.R Martin to be my BFF.
Favorite parts? Fav characters, scenes. Adaptation of the show?
Who else wants to marry Daenery's and have her babies....dragons....ahem

Women in nerd genres

07 July 2012 - 10:38 AM

I feel like a sleezy car salesmen but here goes:

I started a blog that facilitates the creation of more female characters in male dominated genres such as action, horror, sci fi etc. I am looking for writers to create stories that have female characters in main roles in aforementioned genres with little to no romantic story lines. Basically I'm trying to prove that the girls can play just as well as the boys without worrying that they're going to break a nail or look like a fool in front of Mr. Right. I also ask for comics, memes and reviews.
Please, please, please check it out and even if you don't submit anything, do me the favor of telling your friends.

Any suggestions on how I can improve my blog would be helpful as well (please, no comments telling me to get back in the kitchen....)
