I actually didn’t know these were a thing until today but apparently there’s TED Talks by teenagers. Anyway, I’m glad the first one I watched blew me away. Editor-in-chief and founder of RookieMag.com is 15-year-old Tavi Gevinson (also read her work at thestylerookie.com). Listen to her talk about fictional female characters and what they mean for real women, figuring out who she is, helping others do the same, and just being an all-around intelligent and thoughtful woman with smart things to say.

Featuring Legolas and Bard. I hope I don’t have to explain which one is which. The side effects of filming things simultaneously, ladies and gentlemen. (Blastr)

Forty years ago Ms. Magazine busted (har) out of its insert in New York Magazine and became its own stand alone title. Its 1972 cover reflects the issues of the time: war, peace, the absurd scandalousness of women who don’t shave, and the idea that society undervalues the work of stay-at-home parents.
Wait a second…
For their 40th anniversary, coincidentally an election year that has seen number of truly alarming missteps by candidates on things as elementary as basic female biology, Ms. perhaps felt that we all needed a bit more superheroism in our lives. Check out their anniversary cover below:

A woman hasn’t run a presidential debate in twenty years. When three high school girls from New Jersey heard about this in their civics class, they decided to take matters into their own hands. Emma Axelrod, Sammi Siegel and Elena Tsemberis have spent their summer collecting 170,000 signatures on a petition to have one of this year’s presidential debates moderated by a woman. But will Capitol Hill listen to them?

Referring to feminist protest as “bra-burnings” was simply a rhetorical trick made by a reporter to create a parallel between women’s struggle for equality with other protesting movements of the time, specifically the anti-Vietnam war protest and its characteristic burning of draft cards.
The more you know.

"SHARKS. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the uterus." - A thing I just said in chat, sans context.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
