NASA's 'All About That Space' Parody Is 100 Percent Adorkable

You know I'm all about that -- space?
A group of NASA interns recently created a parody of Meghan Trainor's hit song "All About That Bass," and the resulting video is wonderfully nerdy and totally adorable.
Spotlighting NASA's new exploration spacecraft, Orion, the interns boogied their way around the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, singing gleefully about their love for rockets and everything space-related.

Feminist 'All About That Bass' Parody 'Bitch In Business' Might Be Better Than The Original

While Meghan Trainor's hit "All About That Bass" celebrates body confidence, a new feminist parody takes more of an intellectual approach to equality.
Created by three Columbia Business School students, "Bitch In Business" puts a feminist manifesto to the tune of Trainor's "All About That Bass." The students, who are part of a group called the CBS Follies, describe the video as "a love letter to all the badass bitches who aren't afraid to be themselves in the business world."
The video itself is a bit sharper than Trainor's pastel-filled, hip-shaking video, and even includes a few slightly NSFW lines, such as: "You say 'Babies are for girls! Business is for boys!'/Try telling THAT to my stay-at-home frig toy." Other amazing one-liners include, "Making these suits look good while I close the wage gap," and "Gettin' called bitch means I'm doing something right." Preach.
It's no secret that sexism is alive and well in the business world (along with many, many other industries). If a woman is viewed as too "abrasive" or too "pushy" she runs the risk of being labelled a bitch, but those same qualities in a man might brand him as a strong leader. Everyday sexism at its finest.
We still suggest you play this before any and every upcoming interview.

a} I do not believe that ruthlessness or sociopathy should be encouraged in either gender; women or men.
b} Contemporary (although not necessarily earlier forms of) feminism is a mental illness, not a legitimate ideology. It should not be encouraged.
I was appointed six months ago and the more I have spoken about feminism the more I have realized that fighting for women's rights has too often become synonymous with man-hating. If there is one thing I know for certain, it is that this has to stop.

a} Feminism did not originate among, nor is it primarily propagated by, heterosexual women. I'm of course not saying for one moment, that there is no such thing as heterosexual feminists; but the movement was born among lesbians, and for them hatred of men is largely natural. I've also seen the level of hatred which some lesbians have for men; it was like nothing else that I have ever experienced.
b} Feminism (and activism of most related kinds) is usually only engaged in by individuals who have suffered severe physical and/or psychological abuse as children. Atheistic activism typically is motivated by childhood abuse received from Christian authority figures, (clergy, church leaders and so on) and likewise, feminism is usually motivated by abuse received from the primary male caregiver as well, which prompts a negative, pathological generalisation about all men to be made in the mind of the victim. In my observation, psychologically healthy, undamaged women do not become feminists.
c} Feminism and LGBT activism are both full of neologisms; that is, new words which have been created to define and describe concepts which have no genuine reality. Feminism acquired this tendency from its' progenitor, the Frankfurt School; and the latter was a direct outgrowth of the Soviet desire to destroy Western civilisation. For the most part at this point, feminism no longer has a legitimate reason to exist. At one point it genuinely did, but those goals have almost all been met. At this point, feminism primarily serves to give purpose and meaning to the lives of damaged, ugly, non-feminine, outcast women who would otherwise likely have none.
d} As a word, equality no longer has real meaning, or a solid operational definition. It is a constantly moving target, which is redefined on an as-needs basis, for the purposes of the issue of the moment. I completely supported the goals of educational, political, occupational, and income equality; but no matter what is achieved, more is always wanted.
The movement is almost exclusively emotional; there is virtually no genuine logic whatsoever, and this is also why objectives are not concretely defined. I'm watching the above linked video, and in it, Watson sounds as though she is almost crying.
e} Feminism, LGBT activism, and New Atheism have together formed an incredibly sociologically destructive, neocolonialist vanguard, which has largely replaced the vanguard of Marxist-Leninist Communism, but which serves roughly the same purpose. Taken together, these three movements completely destroy any non-Western culture which they encounter; and they also slowly eating the heart out of the West itself as well, which is what they were specifically designed to do. This can be seen most strikingly in India, in terms of the assault on Hinduism, but it has also happened elsewhere. The gays refuse to create their own institutions as alternatives to pre-existing ones which do not allow them; the older institutions will either be subverted or destroyed, and the activists responsible, call that equality.
It is my overwhelming opinion that at this point, feminism as a movement should cease to exist. I never observe it accomplishing or producing anything positive; the movement is pathological, hateful, without constructive purpose, and should be abolished.
You are welcome to call me a bigot, but remember that my bigotry is informed. I know history, and I know the real reason why feminism and its' sister movements exist. Individuals within said movements think that they exist purely in order to achieve their own goals; but like Occupy and Anonymous, the truth is that they are more often tools in the hands of others. Feminism, anarchism, the LGBT movement, Anonymous and Occupy, at this point are all very largely organisations that can be used for proxy war.
In order to incite seekers after power to a misuse of power we have set all forces in opposition one to another, breaking up their liberal tendencies towards independence. To this end we have stirred up every form of enterprise, we have armed all parties, we have set up authority as a target for every ambition. Of States we have made gladiatorial arenas where a lot of confused issues contend. A little more, and disorders and bankruptcy will be universal. --

Feminism = Mental illness lmafo. ::)
As a young, white, single, female, I face sexist inequality on a daily basis.
I work in the business sector which is dominated by men who make treble our wages.
Do I have a mental illness for thinking the men who have monopolised this policy are frigwits? Hell no.
Petrus may not feel the same, because he is not subjected to the same.
Women have been in a slave system longer than the blacks.
Unlike some 'feminists' however, I handle this situation as and when it arises.
I have no need in getting up screaming and shouting topless on TV (like that achieves anything productive?)
Just grab a man by his balls - he soon bends to your will.
Equal footing needs to be taken back individual by individual.
You cannot legislate morality.

I went to school close to twenty years before awareness of autism became mainstream. I am well aware of what discriminatory abuse feels like. The entire reason why I've been in seclusion for the next two decades after that, is because I realised that the strategy I'd been using to deal with it at school, (physically bash the person doing it, to the point where they thought they were going to die, when asking them to stop for six months didn't work) would result in me going to jail as an adult, which meant that I would be unable to join adult society at all.
In the nearly forty years that I have been alive, Nimbin is the only place I've been able to go where I have not had the threat of either potentially lethal violence, or psychological abuse. That's also in Australia; the "lucky country." People talk about how violent Johannesberg or Las Angeles are, but not Melbourne. I knew otherwise. Mark Brandon Read came from Collingwood, one of our northern suburbs.
If I wanted to, I would therefore have ample reasons for joining one of the Left's communal victim complexes. I haven't done so; not only because I know how fragging pathetic they are, but also because I know that said groups are toys of the very people that the idiot Left think that they are fighting.
So no. I don't have any sympathy for the minority movements, because I
have been through most of the same crap and survived, and I've also done so without having anyone tell me what a poor, precious baby I am. If I can do it, no one else has any excuse.
I only meant this thread for entertainment ::)
imo
inequality seems to be a function of those in fear.. fear that someone will take what they feel is rightfully theirs and that they won't have enough....until we can look at others and see our own self and our own fears ..inequality will continue
throwing stones at those trying to fight inequality doesn't help

Heh ?
I have no argument at all about how violent society is in general, totally agree.
But to say Melbourne is worse than say Northern States is stretching it a bit :P

I'd also suggest reading this, Sinny. Fear of rape really is not going to be a problem for women much longer, believe me. Men are learning not to want to go near women at all.

If I was a veteran or a member of one of the approved minorities, I wouldn't need to use my arm to do it. You'd be offering me yours.
Also gotta say Petrus that I have lived in a house frequented by Chopper in Collingwood :P
Chopper was non engaging for the most part which was due to his heroin addiction. His friend was scary though if you acted like a dick... His friend was also quite a nice fella if you just treated him as a person with a slight bit of respect as a stranger.
Scary? NO!
Lesson in life... YES
I am no defender of their action's.. They are Bozo's, but to be sacred of them and a suburb, is really silly to say the least mate.

With all do respect Petrus, your views, what I deem 'hang ups', on 'minority movements' is wasted.
We all strive to create an identity, and collectively gravitate towards those of the same/similiar identity. There is no use in fighting that.
'Feminism' is far from a minority movement, there are only two humans sexes (save me the PC exceptions) , and 'Feminism' involves a whole one of them.
There are extremists within any movement, thats a fact too.
To me it seems like you, (and those who share your views), are afraid of extremism.
Sometimes, things just are the way they are.

Well in my circles if anyone contemplates rape they will likely find a Mongolian Horde tracking them down (and I mean that literally. Happened once in Arizona... the cops had to save the perp LOL)
As for women... well I may be an old codger but we still have real gals

From HuffPo
"
If a woman is viewed as too "abrasive" or too "pushy" she runs the risk of being labelled a bitch, but those same qualities in a man might brand him as a strong leader. "
True very much so, just look at Hill and Bill.
Bill C a perfect example of a pathological, abrasive, serial liar, at best.
His wife Hill is pushy and abrasive also. In the media, they are both
like the salt of the earth.
Yet, reading the comments sections below the paid "news"....it is well known that Hillary is no freind of women, and Bill is really a sick joke.
On a lighter note...they have each made each other old!
;D
