This Girl Can

blahpook says...

I had some similar questions. I agree that the campaign name may be problematic. I'm not excusing that aspect of it, but I'm wondering if Sport England's goal isn't partly to encourage younger girls to have a better body image, and also maybe to suggest that sexiness doesn't need to exclusively be about makeup and famous supermodels, etc., but can also be about perseverance, confidence, and being active...?

Maybe our UK folk can tell us about whether the connotations of the word "girl" are different.

I love this -- except for one little thing. "Feeling like a fox"? Why did they toss that in there? Undercuts the message, big time.

OH. And the title. This GIRL can? When women of all ages are shown? Why women infantalize themselves with that crap has bugged me for forty years. And it is actually worse now that it was 40 years ago.

The rest of it? Lordy yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cute Possum Invades Kitchen To Eat Bread

Stormsinger says...

Nah, the possums here are cute enough...huge gray rats with skull makeup on their faces (think KISS rats).

This guy's a bit cuter, but being an Aussie critter, we know he's armed with either deadly poison or six inch claws and wants to eat your face when you're not looking.

judge dredd-interrogation scene

Payback says...

I like Carl Urban. Damn good Dredd frown. He also had the balls to never take the helmet off. You just know Stallone demanded to have his face seen.

Lena Headey was spectacular in it as well. Was amazed at her makeup. Thought they cast someone with massive scars until I realized who it was.

Benedict Cumberbatch Can't Say 'Penguins'

bareboards2 says...

That is the upcrust homely bumbler who becomes strong through finding her calling in Call The Midwife, sitting in the middle there.

She cleans up quite nicely! Amazing what hair and makeup can do, in both directions.

10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman

criticalthud says...

and to play devil's advocate:

what's with the hair, jewelry and makeup? the end result of beauty routines is to make a person more attractive to the opposite sex and garner more attention.

attention received,....just from the wrong folk.

Way to completely miss the point of the video.

They're not complaining about people focusing on their appearance. They are complaining about the representation in the videos of women as objects that exist purely for men's sexual gratification. And in the videos, these sexual objects are routinely idealized as having curvy bodies, wearing little clothing, and having nothing to contribute to the video other than being an object for men's sexual desires--they don't even talk in most cases.

And no, makeup is not a huge problem. People dress and groom themselves in a way that they hope is attractive to other people--not necessarily sexually attractive but at the very least looking like they've got their basic shit together. Hell, even guys are using cosmetics these days.

But to each his own. I suppose you leave the house every day with unwashed, uncombed hair and wearing a Hefty bag with cutouts for your arms and neck? And certainly you don't wear deodorant right? Because that just tells the world you can only achieve your idealized representation by hiding your true smell.

Sen. Whitehouse debunks climate change myths

newtboy says...

I'll try....
In short, yes, slightly they would (and have) accelerated.
This stops sometimes because equilibrium is reached, there's only so much heat being added to 'transfer'. Also, at times it HAS melted the ice caps completely.
Climate change causes ice ages to come and go. There are many reasons for climate change historically, usually tied to the makeup of the atmosphere, which naturally changes in 'cycles' (when not interfered with un-naturally). From my understanding, most have been caused, at least in part, by volcanic activity on a scale never seen in human history. The really scary part to me is, even without these volcanic events, we've raised the CO2 level faster than they seem to have raised due to natural forces in the past. The climate is now playing catch up with the atmosphere.

My understanding, and I am not a scientist, has been that the oceans are most responsible for conveying heat from warmer equatorial regions towards cooler polar regions.

If diluting the ocean's waters makes those currents *better* at transferring heat, then would the heating of the polar regions accelerate as freshwater is added to the oceans and salinity is diluted? If this was the case why would warm periods between ice ages ever stop short of melting polar ice caps completely? And what causes ice ages to come and go?

It's hard to be a girl in a country song

Jerykk says...

I cut my hair like once a year and only out of practicality. Long hair gets into my food when I eat, takes longer to wash and requires more shampoo (which means I have to spend more money). I make sure to cut my hair short enough that I don't need to comb it. As it grows out, I only manipulate it enough to keep it out of my eyes.

Seriously though, if you don't see the inherent issue with makeup, I'm not sure what to say. The very existence of makeup tells women that the only way they can achieve their idealized representation is by painting their faces.

rancor said:

Alright, but you're not allowed to cut or comb your hair anymore. Arranged scalp hair is the foundation of all sexism. If your uncombed hair isn't the way you want to be perceived by the world, that's too bad. Your natural appearance is the only way you're allowed to go outside.

Jerykk says...

If you want people to stop focusing on your appearance, it might help to not wear makeup. Makeup is the foundation of idealized gender representations. By wearing makeup, you're essentially saying that you're too ugly to show your real face.

It's amazing that so many would-be feminists preach about equality yet continue to foster inequality by wearing makeup.
