I’ve stumbled across some brilliant parodies this week. The first is the blog Feminist Ryan Gosling, with its “Hey, girl” captions.
Feminist Ryan Gosling has only been around for about six weeks. Danielle, a University of Wisconsin grad student and teacher on the gender studies program, created it as a way of helping her remember the feminist theories she was reading.
Sadly, I first heard of Ryan Gosling only a few months ago, after my mom took my teenaged cousins to one of his movies (don’t ask me which one). When I asked her how the movie was, she hesitated and said, “Well, the girls liked it. And it’s not hard to spend two hours staring at Ryan Gosling.”
If Mom finds him attractive, I feel I can’t.
Genetics are perverse, eh?
My other favorite finds of the week are videos from The Second City Network, with Disney princesses giving love advice to young girls.
And let’s not forget Snow White with her seven man-friends.
Priceless.
What dating advice would other Disney princesses give young girls? Jasmine? Sleeping Beauty? Ooh, Sleeping Beauty’s gotta be ripe for giving sound relationship advice.
Do you have a favorite Feminist Ryan Gosling photo? Or do you prefer staring at him without the captions?
OMG! I laughed until I cried. Thanks for introducing me to the Second City Network. I amnot so enamored of RG, but the feminist network is fun.
I spent about an hour watching their videos, Patti! They’re brilliant. Glad you liked them!
