Via inkstone: snarp writes, Encyclopedia of Manga Tropes: Girl Power Corrupts and Bleach vs. Women (spoilers up to chapter 395 and probably a lot of pain).

bossymarmalade talks about Feministe's critique of Lady Gaga's latest video, Telephone. (My sister and I have bonded over that video last night, I kid you not.)

coffeeandink talks about the trailer of the latest Karate Kid movie. Read nemogbr's comment.

starlady talked about The Anime Machine: A Media Theory of Animation which looks extremely interesting. Boy, if it only wasn't so expensive.

snarp has another fascinating post about shonen, power, and gender.

Bleach and power fantasies. (Spoilers for everything Bleach.)

( Cut because the quotation is spoilering for Bleach. If someone still cares. I don't )

And now I got to study. I have no shame.
