Too much amazeballs. What stood out to me though was the, “How to Write A Pansexual Character” - and I was like WAIT NO I NEED A “HOW TO WRITE NON-PANSEXUAL CHARACTERS” durn.

Let’s be honest, that would be a Slytherin move, specifically a Draco move.

Oh, completely Slytherin. It’s more efficient! I’d carry less! 

Unless I’d also lose standing amongst my peers. Then no, I’d only let my mom carry my broomstick in private.

#Me-Now?

I wish I could home-make wine and make these. Except sadly, homebrewing wine is not quite as doable as beer =(

For those of you who don’t want to read the transcript of the oral argument in Hollingsworth v. Perry, which is all of 82 pages long, or whose heads exploded when you tried to read it, I’ve written a helpful summary. It’s available below the jump.

This summary is still fairly long, but it’s shorter and I’ve worked to make things as accessible as possible to those without legal training.

As a result, there are some places where I might have oversimplified the legal argument. My summarizing might be partially colored by my personal viewpoints, but this is basically what happened, plus or minus the aliens eating children.

Elle Woods was hollering back before the movement. This is why i love this movie. It’s so progressive. Elle is a femme feminist who comes by it the hard way. She doesn’t change for the bookish people, the elitists, or for the feminists. She just does what she needs to do, and what she wants, even when at first it was chasing a boy. Then the movie drops the romance. IT DROPS THE ROMANCE. chick flicks don’t do that. Emmett asking her out is a footnote at the very end. And this whole time, she is classy, and lady like, and has pride in herself and her work. She’ll go to a costume party as a playboy bunny, but like hell will she sleep with her professor for an internship. Elle is my feminist role model

Same.

Elle Woods 4ever

I remember listening to my DAD defend Legally Blonde. An uncle was saying “Oh look, it’s that stupid movie again.” as he flipped through the channels. My dad responded with “Oh yeah, that movie where the blonde girl with great grades works really hard to get into pre-law, studies hard and proves herself to her peers and bosses while maintaining her integrity and not sleeping with her boss? What a terrible message to send girls.”

Also, I love this movie because Reese Witherspoon. 

And don’t forget that she has serious female friends and wins the case by way of her specialist knowledge of so-called “feminine things” that no one else takes seriously enough to even bother with.

The movie also passes the Bechdel test.

AND, at the end of the day she befriends the “bitchy girl who’s out to steal her guy”. In the midst of film after film of slut-shaming and catty hatred between girls, Elle and Vivian work past their differences and become friends. 

That’s def a message I  want passed on to young girls.
