MisogynyMinute

Florida | Lauren Groff

Weaponxgirl This makes me very happy. If everyone in the media eye did this then interviewers would have to come up with more interesting questions for women. 6y

saresmoore Oh, hell yes! 6y

Pamwurtzler Good for her. 6y

Angeles Love that answer!!! Aside from the blatant sexism It is a ridiculously unimaginative question 6y

Readerann That‘s great! 👍 6y

JenniferJarrell Best answer. 6y

Crewgurl ❤️ 6y

readordierachel Perfect response 6y

CouronneDhiver Maybe I‘m reading this differently than everyone else, but I don‘t see anything wrong with discussing someone‘s supermom qualities. I admire moms everywhere for the brilliant juggling they do! 6y

readordierachel @CouronneDhiver i think the issue is less about recognizing the work that goes into parenting and having a career (we should absolutely celebrate that!) and more about the fact that men don't get asked about it. Many male artists have kids. Why don't we recognize that? Why is the default that they wouldn't be as involved with their kids as a woman? Why do we assume it's harder for women to find a balance btwn work and family? Just some thoughts 🤗 6y

CouronneDhiver That‘s a good question for the men too. Our assumptions are so silly sometimes... as if they‘re based on a small nugget of truth (women do tend to struggle with family balance), but blown out of proportion. @ReadOrDieRachel (edited) 6y

LauraBeth @couronnedhiver Here is an article where Groff expounds on the subject: https://work.qz.com/1331475/author-lauren-groff-had-a-perfect-reply-to-a-questio... 6y

The Pirates | Matthew West

When a company doesn't realize that you work at a different kind of theater 😂😂 We got this in the mail at the MOVIE theater the other day. I told my boss it came just for him 😁

laurieluna I personally would find it hella cold pirating in that skirt...😕 7y

GondorGirl What's with the wired up-skirt photo of that female pirate? #MisogynyMinute 7y

TaylorMay @miralunasbooknook @GondorGirl right?!? Lol I saw that odd angle after I posted. 7y

TrishB Isn‘t it just!! 7y

readordierachel Can't argue with that logic 😒 7y

tournevis My friends and I always tell our kids: "Take note now. It'll be easier to talk to a therapist when you grow up." 7y

Libby1 @TrishB , @ReadOrDieRachel , @tournevis - sometimes I say to my husband after a tricky child interaction, “Well, he‘ll be talking about this with his therapist some day.” 😫 7y

Surprised by Joy: The Shape of My Early Life | C S Lewis

pick

I was going to move this book for the photo but then I noticed how nice it already looked sitting on top of my handbag!

This is a spiritual autobiography as told through the books Lewis encountered in his youth. Unfortunately, most of these books were classics I‘d never read so it was sometimes difficult to follow.

I found this to be rather academic but there were certainly some gems to be found. Also, I had to forgive a #MisogynyMinute or two.

bailed

This lasted less than 10 minutes. Just awful. How does one read/listen to such badly written and offensive portrayals of women? #misogynyminute

This is old and I'm sure has been posted before but seriously?!
Do some men just refuse to learn about women and their bodies?
He thinks women can't pee with the maze in our bodies!?!? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Not my picture. Not sure original person to post.

Jess7 Omg! 😳 7y

Libby1 #MisogynyMinute 🤦🏼‍♀️ 7y

batsy I remember seeing this on Twitter and was embarrassed for the author, who is obviously not embarrassed, because he's a published author 😳 7y

JacintaMCarter It's from The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike. The whole book reads like he's never met an actual human woman. 7y

Ash.on.the.line @JacintaMCarter good to know to never pick up that book! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 7y

Ash.on.the.line @batsy I cringed reading it, how could someone publish that? 7y

Barnaby Rudge | Dickens Charles

“Having made this communication, and furthermore thanked Heaven with great fervour and heartiness, the good lady, according to the custom of matrons on all occasions of excitement, fainted away directly.”

Sigh.

#MisogynyMinute

julesG Ugh! 7y

Tamra Its so cliche I snorted out loud. 7y

Laura317 Well, to be fair, she might have had a tight corset on, but STILL!...🙄 7y

DivaDiane The dated syntax adds to the comedy. But ugh. 7y

Libby1 @julesG , @Tamra , @Laura317 , @DivaDiane - there was actually a further instance of misogyny near the end of the book that was so startling and laughable I didn‘t even share. I‘ll leave it is a surprise for the maybe 5 people this year who may read this neglected classic. 7y

Barnaby Rudge | Dickens Charles

IT GOT WORSE.

“Do what she would, she only looked better for it and tempted them the more. When her eyes flashed angrily, and her ripe lips slightly parted, to give her rapid breathing vent, who could resist it?”

It goes downhill from there.

I have never liked Dickens‘s depiction of women but this is the worst by far.

It‘s not #MisogynyMinute it‘s more like #MisogynyHour .

Balibee146 😫😫😤😤 7y

Aleida Bleeeeeecccchhhh😖 7y

Libby1 I couldn‘t believe how bad it was, @Balibee146 and @Aleida . I‘ve read a lot of his work so I know he‘s not a paragon of feminism but this was scraping the bottom of the barrel. 7y
