The moral of the story, don't sign legal documents in haste. Also, plan for your marriage as much as your wedding. At least, that's what Dr. Phil said.

No joke: I believe in William Shatner. If he can half-sing Rocket Man and go into space-ish at 80-something years old, he can probably run a country.

Inject this @ranwing discourse/hate into my veins. That is all.

Ranwing vs Reality

Let’s play a game of Guess That Hypocrite Troll!

Okay, I’ll cut to the chase, no time for games. It’s Ranwing. You may know her from her past hits “Darren Criss Killed My Puppy (There’s No Other Explanation For My Pathological Behavior)”, “I Can’t Get Over My Unsettlingly Overwhelming And Enduring Grudge Against A Fictional Character On A Shit TV Show That Everyone Else Stopped Caring About In 2011”, and “Watch Me Become An Overnight Expert Broadway Box Office Analyst So I Can Try To Sound Authoritative When I Mindlessly Bash This Actor Because I Literally Have Nothing More Important Going On In My Life”.

Now it’s time for the follow-up smash: “Shit I Guess That Backfired????? (Don’t Worry Let Me Talk In Circles Until I Convince Myself My Terrible Logic Is Sound)”.

When we last left our Crusader For Truth, she was reveling in Darren Criss being shunned from Broadway due to his Hedwig run that totally nobody saw anyway and explaining why Emmy nominations don’t matter, they’re practically giving that shit out these days AMIRITE? Ranwing decided to keep the good times rolling and continue to track Taye Diggs’ box office performance with the surety that he would obliterate Darren’s numbers. Unfortunately for her, that didn’t happen. But what does that rag the New York Times know anyway?

Let’s break down Ranwing’s hilarious attempts at rationalization. 

“Most of Taye’s numbers this week, while down from last week, more than match Darren’s draw during the majority of his run, but the grosses are down this week. That seems due almost entirely due to the cut in ticket prices.”

It’s almost like supply and demand is… a thing?????? 

“It’s impossible to tell whether or not Taye’s relatively good capacity and ticket numbers are being boosted by the lower ticket price”

Miss “I Literally Spent Hours Counting Empty Seats On Telecharge’s Slow Ass Website In Order To Exaggerate Darren’s Attendance Numbers” should know better. There is a direct correlation between capacity and ticket prices. A bonafide Broadway expert like herself should know that the TKTS discounts are DETERMINED by capacity. For Taye’s run, they have been at 50% off (possibly with some days at less than that, I don’t actually revolve my life around tracking someone I don’t care about’s career). During his first week, the box office comped a bunch of free tickets for the opening shows in order to boost attendance numbers and hope to get good press. Aside from people on Twitter mentioning this, it’s immediately obvious since even at 50% off ALL tickets, the Belasco at 93% capacity will rake in more than $400K. 

“So again, we’re “glass half empty, half full”. If the ticket prices go back to what they were prior to Taye’s run, we might get a better picture of what’s really going on.”

Wow, I’m glad someone is around to school the producers on how to make money. You know slashing ticket prices for no reason is a favorite past time of theirs. Nothing their investors love more! Or maybe– crazy, I know, but hear me out– MAYBE if those tickets aren’t discounted, they don’t fucking sell. His performances are selling only around 40% in advance. Add on the  50%TKTS discount on top of the already reduced-from-Darren’s regular prices of tickets (and yes, the reduction is determined by advanced sales, not a conspiracy to destroy Taye’s selling power rep), and it’s one of the cheapest shows in town, making it much more appealing to the tourists who frequent the booths. Hell, you can sit in the rear mezz for $50! You had to pay $80 to see Darren from the balcony.

“ we just can’t make a direct comparison between Taye’s number and previous runs (including Darren’s).”

How convenient!!!!!! I’m sure you think it’s a real shame, huh.

It must be a really hard time for you, going from “Darren clearly has nothing lined up after Glee, has been blacklisted from Broadway, no one wants to work with him, will fade into immediate and complete obscurity” to seeing him get an Emmy nod for songwriting, jump into a Broadway headline role, go off to film a movie right after that, and then have a guest role to do on a major TV show on top of it as well. Poor Darren. Flopping so hard. :(

(As a side note, this is not meant to bash Taye Diggs. This is to point out the reality anyone with a brain and who had paid attention to theater ever knew, which is that a not-very-tourist-friendly revival in its second year that has gone through seven cast changes is not going to have the legs it did early on. I love Hedwig dearly and hope it stays open for as long as possible, but it made back its money and a shitload more than that before NPH even bowed. It’s had a good run and this is what happens to shows like this. The decline with Taye is only baffling to someone whose personal narrative is that Darren Criss is Broadway poison who everyone hates.)

On the real though if mental gymnastics were an Olympic sport you’d go gold.

Agreed. While I'm reblogging and still thinking of Shameless, I have a question: Team Fiona or Team Lip?

Since people don’t seem to understand what “Men’s Reproductive Rights” means,

I will explain it in a way using popular characters. 

This is Nancy Hicks Gribble from popular animated show King of the Hill. One of the biggest controversies and stories about her is that throughout her marriage, she spent 14 years of it cheating on her husband , Dale Gribble 

with muscle bound Native American masseur, John Redcorn. 

During one of their frequent…encounters, Nancy becomes pregnant and has a son, Joseph Gribble. 

Now obviously Joseph isn’t Dale’s biological son, but Dale is not smart enough and too trusting of his wife to question it (he has even caught them in bed together and incorrectly assumed his wife was just getting a massage). It is obvious to John Redcorn however. So what does this have to do with men’s rights? Well since Nancy kept the continued affair a secret, Dale has been taking care of Joseph, another man’s son, with the false assumption that it is his own. John Redcorn, who desperately wants to be a part of Joseph’s life, is unable to do so properly because the son believes that Dale is his father and Nancy refuses to be truthful. So one father is being tricked/forced to take care of a child that isn’t his, while another man is being refused his right to parenthood. 

Need another example? 

This is Lana Kane from the television show Archer.

Lana had a beautiful baby girl through artificial insemination.

However it came with some issues. She stole the sperm from soon-to-be father Sterling Archer 

 while he was having a cancer scare. Throughout the series, Archer has made it clear that he isn’t ready for a baby yet, so his stance on this would probably be clear. She then impregnated herself without telling him or getting his permission, got him to drown and then revive to save her because she was pregnant, then only after the baby was born, did she tell him it was his baby. Not soon after, she demanded that he “man up” and “take responsibility” for the care of the child, while she simultaneously refusing him any and all parental rights when he shows interest in the baby’s future, even stating that she would rather lose the baby than have Archer raise her. Comments on Archer’s wording of watching the baby as “babysitting” was met with similar responses as Lana’s of “It’s your baby, take responsibility” and “if you are the father, it is just parenting”. This all with him not getting a say in the baby’s creation and again, having no parental rights. 

This is yet another problem that men face. At any time, a woman can either get pregnant through consensual intercourse and leave, steal a man’s sperm, or even rape him, and have complete decision on whether the child is born, and almost always gets custody of the child. At any time, the woman can come back into the man’s life and reveal that the man has a child (one that he didn’t ask for or plan for), and immediately demand the man pay back child support. The mother typically gets it. Men who would like to be a part of their baby’s life, no matter the cause of the pregnancy, can easily be refused that right due to court biases favoring women. 

How about another?

This is Deborah Gallagher from the television show Shameless. 

Deborah is pretty desperate for a relationship. blame it on teenage hormones, blame it on her family’s influence, but she makes some bad decisions because of it. Deborah befriended fellow high school student Derek Delgado. 

They get into a relationship, and Deborah encourages him to have intercourse with her. When he brings up the need for a condom, she stresses that it isn’t needed because she is on the pill. It turns out that she lied about being on birth control pills, actually wanting to trap Derek into a relationship by getting pregnant and starting a family. Derek, shocked by the thought of having a baby, and concerned with the future that he had hoped for, moves out of the state to think and get away from Debby. Debby has also done something similar with a former boyfriend, Matt Baker, who she had originally lied to about her age and eventually raped while he was passed out drunk at a party. Her desperation for a relationship would have probably led to a similar scenario, if it wasn’t almost certain that Matt would have gone to jail for Statutory Rape (a different issue men face)

Derek’s story is actually similar to many men’s. He was clearly not ready for a baby, but was tricked into it. He had a whole life planned worked out, but the baby changed that drastically. The common response is “he should have thought about that before having sex”, which is not the same response a woman would normally get. Consent to sex is only consent to a baby for a man. Debby was ready for a baby, and he was not. But who cares about what he thinks, right? So now he must either halt or even cancel his life plans and dreams to take care of the baby, or leave the baby behind and deal with the guilt of his biological child growing up without him because he wasn’t ready. 

You cannot keep shouting “my body, my decision” when it comes to a baby. A baby is more than 9 months. It is a life changing decision that could cost tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is a decision that takes years of dedication, potentially the rest of your life. Men should also get a choice and a say, but often don’t. not when they are raped, not when they are tricked, not when they are not ready for a baby, not when they have other plans in life, not when they want to be a part of the child’s life, nothing. That should be a problem. That should be considered an inequality.

Reblogging for the Debbie Gallagher and Shameless (US) mention. The only (slight and going off my fuzzy memory of the show) out I can potentially give Miss Deborah is that I'm not sure if Derek knew or even suspected Debbie lied about the birth control, as opposed to thinking the pregnancy was a genuine accident. But that's not really an "out", and Debbie probably would have told Derek that it was on purpose and not get why he'd be pissed. Also: Fiona Gallagher kicked Debbie out when she told Fiona that the pregnancy wasn't an accident.

As someone who has read parts of 'Genderqueer", I'm not sure if I'd want it in a middle school library, even without the dildo-blowjob part.

My opinion comes from the graphic novel reading as, "I have high-functioning autism and don't want to grow up and become an adult woman; here's why it's good to want to mentally stay a child forever."

I don't want to go into all of my opinion because of personal reasons, but just put the book in a regular, local library if it needs to be seen by the public so much.

Residents would come to public meetings and read excerpts from books they wanted to ban, cherry-picking explicit passages so they could accuse the libraries of having pornographic material.

“They take ‘Genderqueer’ and they open it up to the page where there is a dildo blow job, but they don’t talk about the rest of the book or what the book is even about,” Smith said, referring to Maia Kobabe’s bestselling book that describes their journey to figuring out they’re nonbinary.

How dare they throw accusations of child grooming over pornographic content in the book.
