Every Single Word is a new project powerfully documenting an age-old problem: the erasure and silencing of non-white characters in film. The tumblr’s creator, Dylan Marron, edits movies to remove all dialogue spoken by white people.

I work at a think tank in DC. Every time I walk into an event, I tally the number of women in the room. I can usually count them on one hand.

It’s exactly what it sounds like: Images from the ’90s sit-com captioned with the words of the great bell hooks. Need I say more?

Depressed, disturbed, almost-but-not-quite-amused by the “Women Against Feminism” phenomenon and Tumblr? There’s an antidote for that: Confused Cats against Feminism.

There is actually a perfectly reasonable explanation: they’re just saving room for cats. Very large cats.
On behalf of feminists everywhere, our sincerest apologies to all sprawling men and their furry friends.
More after the jump.
