okay! well. sorry about yesterday. i know. that doesn't cut it. all y'all feminists, so hungry for my news and thoughts. (you are a thing, right? you exist? shhhhh... don't shatter my happy bubble.) this morning a friend of mine on the facebooks posted a piece and his thoughts on it are aces. here:

* response to peeps hating on her character (and her) by breaking bad's anna gunn

"It makes sense to hate a TV character because they're poorly written or work against the thematic fabric of the show, or if the performer's portrayal is bad. I mean it doesn't make SENSE to actually have violent real world HATE for a made up person, but you know what I meant. But man if you want Skyler White to shut up and die (or you're particularly psychotic and have ceased to distinguish between Anna Gunn the actress and her character) because she's some killjoy who's "emasculating" the central character and pooping on his badassery, then you don't understand the show you "love", or how to follow a story, and have been publicly dismissed by Breaking Bad's creator as a misogynist. Congratulations thanks for playing. Preaching to the choir, I know, but this wife hate is super gross. I haven't been this ashamed of a fan base I'm in since Buffy fans were attacking Amber Benson about her size, which I was thankfully late to the party on and only read about. Amber Benson also felt compelled to publicly address it. Guys actresses shouldn't feel so attacked that they have to defend the made up people they play. That's super weird." 

so big-ups to ryan hughes. thanks for that. and yeah. that is super weird, guys. don't be like that! okay. back to saturday!
