Wonder Woman is now in theaters, the women-only screenings at Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse will happen soon, and Austin mayor Steve Adler has already dropped a cosmic slam dunk on the people who refuse to stop complaining about it, but yet another man has bravely stepped up to drop a wholly unnecessary “well, actually” on the situation. This latest hero of maleness is Stephen Clark, a professor at Albany Law School, and he has now filed a complaint with Austin’s Equal Employment And Fair Housing Office because he believes the women-only Wonder Woman screenings are “illegal.”
This comes from The Washington Post, which says that it wasn’t the screenings themselves that convinced Clark to file his complaint, but the “snide” attitude of the Alamo Drafthouse in dealing with the misogynistic backlash—or “vibrant argument” as he described it. It was the theater’s willingness to “mock anyone who...

We got examples of both this week when Austin Mayor Steve Adler responded to an eye-rolling email from a guy who objected to a females-only screening of Wonder Woman at the Alamo Drafthouse in the Texas capital. There’s really no other way to present this, so here is the missive Adler’s office received on May 26, followed by Hizzoner’s instant-classic reply: I hope every man will boycott Austin and do what he can…...

The angry moviegoer accused Drafthouse of "pandering sexism" and called on "every man" to boycott the city.
"The notion of a woman hero is a fine example of women's eagerness to accept the appearance of achievement without actual achievement," Richard Ameduri wrote to Adler on May 26. "Women learn from an early age to value make-up, that it's [Ok] to pretend that you are greater than you actually are. Women pretend they do not know that only men serve in combat because they are...

According to Adler’s website, the mayor received an email on May 26 from Richard A. Ameduri, who wrote, “hope every man will boycott Austin and do what he can to diminish Austin and to cause damage to the city’s image. The theater that pandered to the sexism typical of women will, I hope,...

Austin Mayor Steve Adler employed a strong dose of humor in his response to a man who was so angered by the news of a women-only Wonder Woman movie theater screening he called for "every man" to boycott the city of Austin.
"The notion of a woman hero is a fine example of women’s eagerness to accept the appearance of achievement without actual achievement," wrote Richard Ameduri in an email to the mayor. He implored the mayor to "name something invented by a woman" and said that achievements by the "second rate gender" pale in comparison to everything...

Guns N’ Roses are known as one of the most notorious acts in music history. The stars of today have nothing on these guys; from trashed hotel rooms, international manhunts, riots, serial killers, the list goes on and on.
With more than 100 million albums sold worldwide, the band that broke onto the hard rock scene in the 80s during the L.A. Glam period then reached its peak in the mid 90s has had more than its share of scandals. Making the antics of bands like The Rolling Stones or Black Sabbath look absolutely docile in comparison, Gn’R didn’t just live the sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll lifestyle, they redefined it.
Founding members were out of the group before it ever released its debut album, whilst lyrics to songs like “One in a Million” and “Used to Love Her” caused an outcry. A live sexual romp...
