A Ghostbusters with a female cast is a thorough violation of the spirit of the original. And that's a good thing.

The cover for A-Force is a combination of tired trope and deodorant ad. Female empowerment can do so much better.

Maddie & Tae's new hit both indicates and subverts country's long history of sexism.

A new Facebook post calls into question cover depictions of hyper-sexualized men and women.

To read Massive isn't to discover a hidden truth, but to see a massive, obvious fact, bulging out for all the world to see.

Make no mistake that castration is greeted with fear, terror, and disgust—but also with glee.
