So I have advantages just for being white? If so why in the world would I ever check those?!! No fact I'm going to take every advantage I can get and I bet the white guy living in a trailer in MS will too..

That shark that feminism jumped over, was it male or female?

I was on the floor laughing at "surprisingly endearing lesbian taco" and never got up again.

I will so watch this. But not with my dear wife, unless I can buy a video with subtitles. Some attempts should not be made. This is one.

"...was it male or female?"

Please, have we learned nothing? The social construct of gender must be much more inclusive than that! What about all the trans/fluid/alt/non/neutral/blahblah-gendered sharks? Shame, Lsomber, your patriarchal privilege is showing!

I hope these people aren't representative of the general LGBTQ community - if there is such a thing. But I guess there's a market for this kind of servility, and that's all it takes.

"sorry...are we still allowed to say "panties" and "bunched"?"

You are allowed to say 'bunched', but no 'panties' is a symbol of male oppression. As a diminutive of pants and a female clothing option it is inherently sexist and misogynistic. . . . or so my sister informs me. Apparently Seattle feminists have their panties in a bunch over panties. Go figure.

The shark? it was a bull shark, and it was trans-water.

No, seriously, bull sharks can transition from salt to fresh water, and probably back again. Here's an example from last year, in the Missouri River in Montana:

We've Just Reached (And Passed) Maximum Feminist/SJW Stupid

Unfortunately, there's no "peak" to stupid.

As for my white cis male privilege, I demand that the editor of autostraddle not make me a sammich. And if she does, I will not eat it.

Salma Hayek? hubba-hubba!

"That shark that feminism jumped over, was it male or female?"

It was a LBGTQXZ#R%&**@JMV-bathroom-questioning-cis-BK-big-fish. But since it was a Great White, it was inherently sexist and homophobic, by definition.

Some more examples:

I...just can't.

The constellations thing is particularly ridiculous because:

1. To astronomers, constellations are just regions of the sky. A fair number of them, particularly southern-hemisphere ones, are modern inventions that were created mainly for recognition by 20th-century aircraft navigators, and so that every part of the sky belongs to a constellation. That makes it easier to refer to things. (Although when you get up to the really high-level astronomy, they don't refer to stars by constellation names at all -- they use something like the Hubble Guide Star Catalog, which assigns numbers to everything.) The constellations, in and of themselves, are not of any real interest to astronomers, and a lot of astronomers are not aware of and don't care about the backstories.

2. If you've spent any time actually trying to learn the constellations, you know that a lot of them bear little or no resemblance to the figure they supposedly represent. It's bad enough that modern observers have invented their own colloquial names for things, like the Big Dipper (part of Ursa Major), the "teapot" of Sagittarius, the "Northern Cross" of Cygnus, and the "hourglass" of Orion. (Which leads to another point... most of the constellations that have ancient Greek/Roman names were named after animals. How is a crab or a scorpion or a dolphin sexist?)

Now, I want to see one of the SJW types stand up and say that astrology is sexist, so I can watch the blue-on-blue cat fight.

Autostraddle has now apologized for favorably reviewing the taco twaddle, so the SJWs appear to have reach terminal velocity for stupid. You can't tell the PC fembot position without a scorecard, instant replay and referees -- and these people are trying to convince us (or, maybe it's themselves) of their maturity and enlightenment. The rest of us were expected to know to keep our hands to ourselves by the time we made it to kindergarten.

Hayek's taco eats out Kristin Wiig's hotdog bun--and there is NO affirmative consent on screen.

Seriously, I can't stop laughing. I hope the movie is half this funny.

This movie has to be good ...

I guess I'll have to rent this movie and watch it, since it is being condemned by the usual suspects.

I sometimes wonder how much of an uproar happened over the show Monk by mental health advocates. I have OCD, but nonetheless, the handful of times I watched Monk, it was pretty entertaining to me. I suppose that would make me a Mental Illness Traitor or something.

By the way, for me, Autostraddle inspires a mental image of a hot woman straddling a wealthy man with a big dick.

I'm also a Fat Affirmation Traitor as well. In spite of the fact I have at least 20 pounds extra on me, I still find my own extra fat just as disgusting as I find extra fat on other people.

2. If you've spent any time actually trying to learn the constellations, you know that a lot of them bear little or no resemblance to the figure they supposedly represent. It's bad enough that modern observers have invented their own colloquial names for things, like the Big Dipper (part of Ursa Major),

Well, at least it looks more like a dipper than a bear. Bears don't have long tails.

But yes, I was aware that it's only a part of Ursa Major. Even so, when the dipper is right side up (with the handle on the left), a quick search in Google Images

https://www.google.com/search?q=ursa+major&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=fflb&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjNsbqTh8zOAhXCMx4KHSa_CFEQ_AUICCgB&biw=1101&bih=566

suggests that people tend to "see" it that way anyway.

Whereas the first time I even HEARD of the Bear was in H.A. Rey's "Find the Constellations," which has a more sensible rendition of Ursa Major, IMO:

I don't see why anyone WOULD pay the ticket price - aside from wanting to watch it with an audience, something that can be done at home.

I hadn't been planning to see the movie, but if/when there's a free copy at the library, maybe I will. I got tired of foul language years ago - I do NOT pay for it!

And the fact that it's animated but it's NOT for little kids reminds me of a so-called parent who couldn't be bothered to notice a certain movie's rating when her 7-year-old son wanted to see it (or she didn't have the spine to say "no, sorry, but we're not going")...

SPOILER (first half of post)

By AuroraeB 12/10/03

"I was at an arts and crafts event, and during the course of the evening, a woman started making chit-chat about movies that were coming out in the video stores.

"Another woman piped up and started whining and bitching about how she was appalled at the fact that she took her 6 (or maybe 7) year old kid to see The Hulk in the theater and they had to leave because the movie was so scary that it 'terrified and traumitized' widdle pweshus.

"I didn't skip a beat, and told her: 'Well, I'm not surprised it scared the hell out of him, it was rated PG-13...'

"She gaped and sputtered like a fish out of water for a few seconds and then launched into a moral tirade against 'superhero' movies that are 'targeted' at small children being excessively violent and scary.

"I came right back with the fact that these movies and the comics they are based on are not intended for small children. They're aimed at junior high to adult aged viewers/readers. And the movie was rated what it was rated for a reason and she made a choice to ignore that rating, and she is now having to deal with the consequences of her choice..."

We heard from readers who were upset that we labeled the taco a lesbian when it seems more likely that she was bisexual.

That may be the best line I've read so far this year.
