Interesting Quote: Kit Harington


Yes, in some ways you could argue I’ve been employed for a look I have. But there’s a sexism that happens towards men. Though he admits there’s “definitely a sexism in our industry that happens towards women. At some points during photo shoots when I’m asked to strip down. I felt that.”

Superman and Wonder Woman T-Shirt reeks of Dudebro Antics


I saw this the other day and cringed!

How could DC Comics allow a shirt like this to be made?

Score? Superman done it again?

And look how Wonder Woman is posed! Superman looks like a dudebro on this T-shirt. Seriously, DC or rather WB, did y'all think about the message this shirt is sending?

This is such an insult to Wonder Woman and everything she represents. She is more than a conquest! I can't believe they allowed this shirt to go out!

Old Religion for NO Women


Gospel Today, a Christian magazine of sorts, was going to highlight women pastors. Very hip and forth coming, right? For me, it is daring and great, but for the Southern Baptist Convention, not so great. In fact, they removed the magazine.

Why? Well, because they're women of the cloth.

Teresa Hairston, owner of Gospel Today, said:

“It’s really kind of sad when you have people like [Gov.] Sarah Palin and [Sen.] Hillary Clinton providing encouragement and being role models for women around the world that we have such a divergent opinion about women who are able to be leaders in the church,” Hairston said. “I was pretty shocked.”

So am I, Teresa. Apparently the Southern Baptist ain't trying to hear it. But I think they are wrong. The word of God should be taught by a person who deemed to do so. It's not a man's job and it shouldn't be sold as a man's job.

Pastor Tamara Bennett, who's on the magazine cover stated.

“God’s assignment is that no souls are lost and all are saved,” Bennett said. “Gender is not how God sees it. We are about winning souls, period.”

The Fay Wray Card


During this whole Sarah Palin Showcase, I've heard this word "sexist" used when anyone questions her qualifications.

Just the other day James Carville was called sexist for discussing Palin's "experience". In another report, a repub congresswoman claimed that Dems were sexist towards Palin and refused to look at her towering experience record. Then Senior McCain adviser Carly Fiorina claims that Obama's peeps are being sexist, too. I'm sorry, but that's not sexist, that's the truth.

We all know she not experienced, no question about it. However, to use the Fay Wray Card in Palin's defense is very tacky and insulting to women.

The Fay Wray Card comes from the notion of attacking a helpless woman with hate and sexist views. Palin is not helpless, but she isn't ready to lead the country. I cringe every time I hear someone says "you're sexist" just because Palin's tactics are in question. It's demeans the word and cause behind it. This is a tough business and she knew what she was getting into when she accepted McCain's offer.

Perhaps it's sexist to claim the media's too harsh on her. Politics are no joke and to enter this race with drama on tap, reveals a lot about her judgment and McCain's. But I guess that would be sexist too.
