Critical Hits & Misses #87


  • Alison Bechdel's popular comic strip Dykes To Watch Out For stopped regular publication back in 2008, as Bechdel pursued other ventures. But thanks to the US election, Bechdel felt it was time to get back to it. Check out the latest strip! (Critical Writ Staff)

  • Tina Fey and Megyn Kelly, among others, talked female empowerment in the age of Trump, at the THR Women in Entertainment event. (Ivonne)

  • Check out Wired's fabulous article on how Ink Master became an unexpected lesson in feminist strategy!

For today's musical hit, check out the always fabulous Lady Gaga's "Million Reasons," a live recording from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in Paris.
