Hallmark! Greeting card company Hallmark has apologized for the distribution of a sexist birthday card that encourages teenage girls to snag rich husbands by using their bodies. The card was spotted by @CheesyHel at her local newsstand in Hertfordshire, England, last week while she was shopping for a card for her niece. In a statement, a spokesperson for Hallmark Cards said the company was "surprised and horrified" to discover that the card is still in circulation since it has not been produced for 15 years. [This was acceptable in 1997?] More
Were there a mountain made of solid gold, double that would not be enough to satisfy a single person. Know this about craving (trying to fill ourselves from the outside in) and live accordingly.
In one of the best pop films of the year, it's "Beca" (Anna Kendrick) versus the World. Until college and her professor father nudge her into expanding her horizons beyond beats and DJing, she's the lovable indie alt grrl. How is she converted to befriending females and getting out of her shell? That is the central conceit of the movie -- acapella renditions of very cool songs. This would be a disaster if the music weren't so good. But behind the shiny songs and unreal (unrehearsed) performances that take place spontaneously throughout the story at Riff Offs and elsewhere is a very real story about what it's like among women, our separation, cattiness, and constant counterproductive competition.
Thank you Nazi Aubrey (Anna Camp), super-sexy "Stacie" (Alexis Knapp), supermodel "Kimmy Jin" (Jinhee Joung), hilarious comedienne"Fat Amy" (Rebel Wilson), freaky-geek Quiet "Lilly" (Hana Mae Lee), and uber-nemesis "Bumper" (Adam DeVine). There's lesbianism (very jokey), there's misogyny, there's promiscuity, there are jerk adults (color commentators "Gail" and John), there are dance offs, and there is that one eternal truth secretly brewing underneath it all, covert competition in a gynocentric cooperative frame. The movie is not all good news; it is almost ruined by the syrupy "good guy" male lead "Jesse" (Loser). Fortunately other men, like "Bumper" and "Donald" (Utkarsh Ambudkar) and "Benji" (Ben Platt), round out the cast, all straight, all acapella. More
NOTE: This review and focus on a commercial success was written under duress after Wisdom Quarterly staff were forced to watch the movie three times by Features Editor Ashley ("Aubrey") Wells, who seemed to be experiencing some kind of enlightening experience or catharsis from the story. Who knows why the Dharma Editor allowed except that he liked the movie, too. It does grow on a person and is not bad but only compared to Hollywood's ordinary output. It has legs; it came in eighth place in the Top Ten this week.
"Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide," premiering October 1-2, 2012
"Half the Sky" is a landmark transmedia project featuring a four-hour PBS primetime national and international broadcast event, a Facebook-hosted social action game, mobile games, two interactive websites, educational video modules with companion text, and an impact assessment plan. All of this was inspired by the eponymous, widely acclaimed book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
The series follows Kristof, WuDunn, and six celebrity activists including Diane Lane, America Ferrera, Olivia Wilde, and Nicole Kidman as they travel to nine countries and meet inspiring, courageous individuals.
Across the globe oppression is being confronted, and real meaningful solutions are being fashioned through health care, education, and economic empowerment for women and girls.
Embedded in the linked problems of sex trafficking and forced prostitution, gender-based violence, and maternal mortality -- which still needlessly claims one woman every 90 seconds -- is the single most vital opportunity of our time. And all over the world, women are seizing it.
Wisdom Quarterly; Alba502 (EU video) What might a sexist commercial about men look like if society wanted less science out of us and more self-defeating behavior like alcohol and pornography addiction?
The following public service announcement (PSA) was published by the science commission of the European Union. It is part of a campaign designed to attract more females to a career in science. The commission says the inadvertently sexist video has to "speak their language to get their attention."
They add that it was intended to be "fun, catchy" and strike a chord with young people. "I would encourage everyone to have a look at the wider campaign and the many videos already online of female researchers talking about their jobs and lives," the commission added.
(Seattle P.I.) A European Union PSA was supposed to encourage girls to consider a career in the sciences. Instead, it turned out to be a big embarrassment, with critics (and pretty much everyone) saying it’s sexist and insulting... peppered with the words “lipstick,” “stiletto,” and “gawking dude.” More
