He's an angry elf

I can have it all! *sobs while eating leftover chicken nuggets from kids, husband is still at work again, I still have work to finish, the house is a disaster, and my kid just started practicing the recorder*

By person you mean woman

Some warm soapy water and a long bristle scrub brush should take care of it

Parents of babies don't need your forgiveness.

It's from Portlandia and the scence in question is when they watch Battlestar Galactica. Amazing and accurate.

Hahahaha weirdest insult ever.

It's called gaslighting it's used as a form of control and dominance

I'm a homemaker and while I worked odd jobs in the beginning, we always made a point to live on one income. So many people I know have gotten stuck because they have come to rely on two incomes, especially when a baby comes my friends are heartbroken they have to go back to work. We live a little tighter but it's so worth it.

Boys learn early

Because it's disgusting.

But this image, which is taken out of context from the movie, doesn't show a woman being a badass. This just perpetuates the power men have over women, especially in domestic abuse situations. It was a poor promo choice, especially when male superheroes get overly heroic posters. Doesn't that make sense? Women are already underrepresented as superheroes, why not show her as conquering the fight like a true badass?

The problem is women who are already underrepresented in super hero movies is shown in a position that so many real women face in our own world. It's a terrifying reality and they missed an opportunity to glorify her like they show male superheroes.

Finally someone with brains and actual thoughts! Her getting choked out is such a reality for women who have suffered domestic and sexual abuse, and it's plain unnecessary. Most super hero posters are either much more heroic or mysterious. Women are already underrepresented in super hero films, why show one getting choked by a bad guy? It was a poor move by their PR department.

But the three men where probably given different opportunities in their lives. Whether it was a supportive mother or support from a gang because they never knew family. We think we can make our own "choices" but everyone is influenced and brainwashed by our own upbringings and experiences. Not everyone gets to sit on a throne and distill complicated social issues into a meme.

Or that people should make mistakes in the first place.

Even if they are different, women have been marketed to since the dawn of advertising. Women used to be the pharmacists of the household so when women bought ointments and tinctures for their family, they also started being sold beauty products. Today women spend a lot of money on "necessary" products just to keep up. It is a feminist issue, especially when items used by both genders like razor blades and deodorant are more expensive for women because it's in pink packaging.
