Critical Writ: Bill O'Reilly

Hey, we're still talking about sexual harassment in the workplace, because everything is awful! However, in a cheer-worthy move, former Fox anchor Megyn Kelly uses her new show on NBC to call bullshit on Bill O'Reilly after he dared to spin some crap about how he was innocent and clean and only settled to make it all go away. More women in positions of power need to use their platforms to call out the bullshit! Megyn Kelly is not one of my favorite people, but I admire her for doing this!

Marvel and DC need to take a page or two from their smaller indie competitors: this blog post over at Pacific Standard details and celebrates the indie publishers who employ women in comics.

Last Sunday was Easter, and even if you're not a person of faith, Patheos has a blog post worth reading, for those of us who care about feminist issues. It has to do with Mary Magdalene, the Biblical figure and follower of Christ, and how she has been wrongly maligned as a prostitute for a long time. Turns out that theologians are trying to right the narrative, and prove that Mary Magdalene has simply been reduced to her sexuality... a story that modern women are familiar with. A fascinating and rather academic read that's well worth checking out.

In case you hadn't heard, Fox blowhard Bill O'Reilly is facing the music these days, after several women have accused him of sexual harassment. After tons of advertisers pulled out of supporting his show, O'Reilly has gone on a "two week vacation," although some folks in the know think he won't ever be coming back to Fox. The New York Times has an excellent article on O'Reilly, and how his behavior drove away Megyn Kelly, another former superstar at Fox who is now at NBC.

Everything is awesome (sometimes): Steven Universe is getting its first soundtrack album!
