So this is cute and all but the woman on the left is Edie Windsor, the plaintiff in the the SCOTUS case Windsor v. US that struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013 and paved the way for marriage equality. Her partner, Thea (here on the left) died of ALS some time after they’d been married in Canada and Edie was denied inheritance and survivors benefits so she sued and won. Also fun and adorable fact: you see in those pics how her hair is flipped up on the ends? She wore it like that because Thea loved it. In later pictures from after Thea died you’ll see her with it curled under

Listen my dude, think big picture for a second. Do you really think the CIA or FBI are gonna come storm my place for something so minor? That kind of shit is a microscopically small blip on their radar if it even is at all. Like, they have way bigger fish to fry. Not only that but are they really gonna — do you really think they have the resources to hunt down every single person that does shit like that? Its so simple to do man. Like, 10 seconds of effort per camera. They don’t give a shit. They can’t afford to give a shit, they don’t have the manpower or the resources to give a shit, so neither do I.
i just read joss whedon’s entire wonder woman script and… it’s horrifying. it gets way worse than the screencaps i’ve seen. i italicised the worst parts that might be triggering. (mostly abuse, sexual harassment)
- he completely skips diana’s backstory; the film starts with steve crashing the plane
- steve doesn’t get saved by diana; instead he is taken to hippolyta, who wants to kill him
- the story in general is told from steve’s pov
- the descriptions of the women’s bodies are just pure male fantasies
- i’m literally on page 18 right now and so far steve has been straight up a sassy asshole, interrupted diana, and guilt-tripped her by telling her that she makes his imminent death about herself, which she never did, then he ‘jokingly’ asks her out, gets rejected, and then says, “’let’s keep in touch’ is actually american for ‘get the hell out of my face’”
- diana then demands a trial by combat and physically fights her own mother to save steve
- we are given no actual reason why she leaves themyscira, she never says it’s because she wants to stop the suffering of innocent people
- i’m on page 28 and so far steve has had 10 times more lines than diana
- diana gets called a whore by a soldier and when she wants to defend herself steve tells her to “shut up”
- another soldier calls her a “tasty looking girl”
- the first time whedon calls her a hero is after she knocked out some random soldiers
- diana is called a “stupid bitch”
- whedon calls random women running out of their houses trying to save themselves whores
- men keep calling diana “princess” in a condescending way
- steve says he thinks diana is dangerous but he’s still attracted to her and wants her to “turn around so i can see more of you naked” and apparently diana finds that charming and “tries to hide a smile”
- again, diana is called a bitch
- “two thin supermodel types come up to him”
- aaaand diana is called a bitch again. seriously you could make this a drinking game
- “then she moves her leg back and turns, fluidly, a curve rippling up her body as she folds into a dance that is sensual, ethereal and wicked sexy” (whedon explicitly states that the men are staring at her)
- “hot girl-on-swan action” is an actual thing that is said
- diana is basically just a damsel in distress and steve has to keep saving her
- when diana actually saves him for once, steve says “i hate this a lot”
- steve to diana: “and it never occured to you that you’re the reason it’s getting worse?”
- steve throws a hissy fit because he has an inferiority complex
- “you’re not a hero, diana. you’re a fucking tourist.”
- apparently diana only speaks english
- when she is weakened by a fever, some men grab her and touch her inappropriately before they realise that she’s sick and apparently they don’t want to infect themselves so they push her into a pit instead (what the fuck? what. the. FUCK.)
- “diana standing, legs wide”
- on page 104 of 116, diana finally gets her suit (according to whedon that’s what makes her a superhero: “diana is a superhero now”)
- steve admits he’s an idiot and diana kisses him
- “your whole life on an island with women, and you can kiss like that?” followed by diana implying that she’s kissed women and steve actually says out loud that he’s picturing it, and he’s turned on by it
- the movie ends with that.
we dodged more than a bullet with this, we dodged a fucking nuke. also, bless patty jenkins.
What the fuck
Holy fucking crap
