Every review of Black Widow in ‘Captain America’ is wrong, Gavia Baker-Whitelaw, The Daily Dot, April 2, 2014

Honestly, this kind of catsuit-focused review says more about the reviewer than the film itself. Apparently the mere concept of Scarlett Johansson in a tight outfit is so dazzlingly erotic that it bypasses some male reviewers’ conscious minds and causes them to ignore everything she says and does for the rest of the movie. The result is a series of reviews from highly respected film critics who, given the opportunity to describe each Avenger in a single sentence, replace Black Widow’s summary with the announcement, “I AM A HETEROSEXUAL MAN AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON’S BOOBS ARE AWESOME.”

Yes, the Cover of Golf Digest Is Tacky, Gross, and Exclusionary. But So Is Golf. Philip Bump, The Wire, April 4, 2014

It’s actually perfect that Golf Digest‘s cover image of sexy, non-golfer Paulina Gretzky has irritated people for being sexist and exclusionary. After all, nothing provides a better digest of golf than exclusion, annoyance, cultural damage, and self-absorption.

Here is the thing: Golf is the worst sport, if it is a sport at all. Golf is worse than NASCAR, and I say that fully understanding the weight of those words. Golf is worse because it is more classist, more racist, and probably more environmentally harmful than car racing. And what’s really remarkable about golf is how little legwork it takes to demonstrate each of those qualities.
