LADY GODIVA: The Naked Truth

The following 13 chauvinists have just got to be commemorated for their contributions to misogyny in this year of the snake as 2013 draws to a close.  Unfortunately it was difficult to narrow it down to a mere 13 but here they are,  in no particular order :   #13). Robin Thicke - for his awful music video that ran on like a pre-school porno that recently discovered Twitter existed and completely #negatedthepowerfullyrics . ( Eat the foot, eat it )! #12). Seth MacFarlane - sang  We Saw Your Boobs at the Oscars and trivialized Scarlett Johansson's erape. (I hate you). #11). Gavin McInnes - Vice Magazine co-founder managed to decry feminism and declare that women over 40 are all " fucking sad " .   ( You're fucking sad brah). #10). Yumi Stynes - blamed other women for Tropfest's (an event she was hosting) chronic exclusion of lady filmmakers, reflecting that ..."a lot of Twitter chat has been about the lack of female filmma

Are you bored? Do me a favor then and Google images of 'The Veronicas'.  You've most likely have never heard of them before.  They're twins from Australia that formed a rock band in 1999 by that tittle.  I actually kinda dig their music and was rocking out to them on YouTube earlier having just discovered their existence today. In the one YouTube video I watched is a still picture of them smashing their boobs together in an embrace.  This is not something most heterosexual women do.  It's something lesbians and bisexual women do.  Because they like their own boobs as well as the boobs of others and they want to smash their boobs into somebody else's boobs.  But the picture disturbed me nonetheless because, they're siblings and even though it's cool to boob smash with strangers, I don't really see how it's cool to boob smash with your twin. I'm sure it's most men's wet dream--if you want to buy into the subscribed sexuality of

Geauga Lake closed in 2007 but I had gone there when I was still quite little, like, in the 80’s little, and had gotten to be the first batch of humans that got to experience their new amusement park feature, called ‘The Wave’. Aptly named, it was basically a humongous pool and every 15 minutes or so an automated, machine generated wave would convalesce its way through the pool.  But there was sure to be one.  The Big One.  That WAVE that would knock you on your ass and if you didn’t want to get caught in that particular wave, you needed to get your ass outta of the pool stat.  I’m vaguely remembering the aura of fear, alarms even.  Terrified over-weight moms in neon tutu swim dresses, with fully made-up faces struggling to climb up out of the pool in time.  Just in the nick of time to get out of that wave’s way.    But there I was. In the shallow end of the pool.  Of ‘The Wave’ and I remember that like the instant was more real than this current present moment, it wa

Good news everyone, Scarlett Ingrid Johansson can actually act and really did out do herself in the memorable role of Barbara Sugarman!  Joseph Gordan-Levitt wrote such an original contemporary screen play - if he doesn't win some type of award for his kick-ass directing skills, everyone in Hollywood is deaf and blind.  Exciting, multilateral, having a real heart and soul to it that's lacking in most recent film, it still manages to be extremely edgy, still brooding, still serious, so serious, it'll hold your attention long after the end credits have finished, thus I have to recommend it to any movie lover or intellectual.    Really I almost feel like my tweet that DON JON is a mesh of American Psycho  and Harold & Maude is actually kind of an insult to reduce it in that type of summation, it's that good.  I only state there's an  American Psycho  element to it because there is a strong focus on the fast food, shallow, superficial culture we'

...I thought I knew what Revenge Porn was. And maybe dear reader, you might not even have heard of Revenge Porn yet.  This woman does an excellent job of breaking it down: But not until I read this article based on true accounts, did I become aware that a seemingly disproportionate amount of women and girls had been hacked for intimate photos they had never even planned on sharing willingly with others.  As if the notion of Revenge Porn in and of itself weren't despicable enough.  But getting hacked, having private information getting blasted over the internet, resulting in the loss of relationships, friendships, jobs, and lives?--that's just an evil notion to "profit" off of.  Where there was not even a so-called "revenge" committed just a random series of malicious acts on a stranger having done no wrong doing at all.  And where does the data mining stop?--are drunken cleavage shots game?--bikini's?  Some of these photos were Photoshop-ed an

This lovely lil' online PSA came out back in 2011 but I only recently saw it today.  In it, a epicurean platinum blonde will instruct the male you might love and/or tolerate in your life on how to check themselves for testicular cancer.  It's an   all around  eyeful.  My initial reaction when first viewing the extremely graphic "how-to-cup-your-balls" vid was that just as easily as it objectifies the female form, it also seemingly literally  emasculates the male.  I didn't really feel like elaborating my sentiment to the brash libertarian with the conservative republican  leanings who shared this clip with me but, it's a woman holding a pair of disembodied nuts.  It's typically the males featured in film that get to brandish about dismembered feminine bits.  Talk about getting The Shocker , ( amiright, duders? ).  See for yourself: Is this femme fatale really  necessary however?  It's a bit over the top perhaps.  Especially when this particula
