    Minx: The Penis Parade Comes to HBO

    Minx: The Penis Parade Comes to HBO

    By Lori Perkins Let me just start this article by saying I was a young woman in the 70s (I remember trying to buy the issue of Cosmo with the Burt Reynolds centerfold but it WAS sold out everywhere), and the HBO show Minx perfectly captures the conflict of being a sex positive woman and a feminist during that time. I actually worked in magazine journalism (my internship was at Savvy Magazine, which was the working woman’s magazine founded by a bunch of New York Magazine femi

    January: On This Day...

    Saturday, January 1st 1986: Barbra Streisand and Jon Peters break up. He goes on to be her manager and godparent to her children. 2011: Shania Twain marries a Swiss businessman, Frederic Thiebaud, in Puerto Rico. The pair are still married and Twain is now a Swiss resident. Thiebaud was the husband of her best friend, who had an affair with Twain’s husband and eventually married him in what is still considered one of the most stunning celebrity swaps. Sunday, January 2nd 181
    Pregnant Scarlett Johansson Sues Disney Over Streaming Revenues on Black Widow

    Pregnant Scarlett Johansson Sues Disney Over Streaming Revenues on Black Widow

    By Lori Perkins We’ve all been a little distracted this past year and half, but most of us were eagerly awaiting the theatrical release of a Marvel movie, specifically Black Widow, which female comic book fans felt was already nearly a decade past-due (because every other male Avenger had their own movie, some more than one). So the on-again/off-again release date dance that Disney performed with Black Widow during the pandemic was frustrating for viewers—little did we know h
    “Cat Person” and Blurring the Line of Fiction and Reality

    “Cat Person” and Blurring the Line of Fiction and Reality

    By Rachel Zimny The short story “Cat Person” by Kristen Roupenian was published almost four years ago in The New Yorker and was immediately met with critical acclaim as the magazine’s first piece of fiction to ever go viral. The story was one that happens all too often but doesn’t often get told about age gaps, power plays, overthinking and male expectations in heterosexual relationships from the woman’s point of view. It is a unique work of fiction. Or, at least, half fictio
    Thelma & Louise Turns 30 And Still Impactful

    Thelma & Louise Turns 30 And Still Impactful

    By Lori Perkins Thelma & Louise is my favorite movie—it’s my feel good/feel bad go-to film, which often frightens away perspective romantic partners. If you haven’t seen it, it’s the Susan Sarandon/Geena Davis road trip crime spree movie that ends with the two of them choosing to drive their vintage Thunderbird convertible into the Grand Canyon instead of face the patriarchal judicial system. Many people do not see that as a happy ending – or they see it as the version of “b
    Say It Isn’t So, Brad!

    Say It Isn’t So, Brad!

    By Lori Perkins It’s been a hard month, what with the on again/off again J-Lo/ARod relationship on the rocks (and on again as of this posting), but reading that Angelina Jolie is accusing ex-husband Brad Pitt of abuse, and that the kids are ready to testify against him, is almost too much. In this post #MeToo time, we want to believe all women (and kids – talking to you Dylan Farrow), but we want to believe Brad Pitt is one of the good ones. Isn’t it enough that we’ve had Jo
    The Second Wave of the #MeToo Movement

    The Second Wave of the #MeToo Movement

    By Olivia Haveron In Late-2017, following sexual abuse allegations — and later convictions— by more than 80 women against Harvey Weinstein, the #MeToo movement sparked worldwide campaigning against the overwhelming sexual abuse and harassment that women face in their everyday lives. Earlier last week, a bankruptcy judge approved a $17 million payout to be split between 37 women in the Weinstein case which started the wave of the #MeToo Movement, and it appears that the next w
    Alyssa Milano to Star in Netflix’s Brazen Virtue by Nora Roberts

    Alyssa Milano to Star in Netflix’s Brazen Virtue by Nora Roberts

    By Lori Perkins While we were all gobsmacked by how the Reddit bros were toppling Wall Street with the Game Stop stock uprising, or even being charmed by the 80 year-old sex symbol Dr. Fauci just doing his job, a small article was published in the Hollywood Reporter announcing that Charmed actress and #MeToo activist Alyssa Milano had been chosen to star in a Netflix adaptation of Nora Roberts’ Brazen Virtue. Within an hour of this news breaking, the Karens of Romancelandia,
