As long as we’re talking about Star Wars, let’s end the day with Princess Leia’s business card. Also, a friendly reminder that we need more real life women in politics. Click through to The Mary Sue to see the other characters’cards. [via The Mary...

If you had plans to discriminate against an elderly woman this month, watch this Oscar-nominated short, written and voiced by Kathleen O’Rourke, and perhaps reconsider those plans. Sleep has no fury like a grandma scorned. [via...

Aw naw, ya’ll done made Wonder Woman pull out her scrunchie??? I pity the fool villains about to be on the other side of this beatdown! This is all to say, this artwork by Kevin Warren is all kinds of awesome sauce. [h/t Fashionably...

“I Love It” by fierce indie synthpop duo, Icona Pop, is basically the best thing to happen to happen to Top 40 radio this decade. That is all.

As long as we’re on the subject of Disney Princesses today, here’s a list of their real ages, which, in some cases, will make you feel a little skeevy for rooting for them to get with a prince. Or, in the case of Mulan and Tiana, it might make you feel like an underachiever. I mean what were you doing when you were 16 and 19? Certainly not saving your land from an evil warlord or opening your own restaurant, right? [via...

We like a happy ending here as much as the next nerd, but internet sensation, Paint, delves into what might have happened to some of our favorite princesses after their happily ever afters — and it ain’t pretty. Some words that come up: beastiality, oil spills, torture, and entrails. If you ignore the fact that most of the issues brought up don’t gel with the historical era in which these stories are set, then it makes for a fun listen. [via...

Seriously, if you watch one video this week, watch this one. I’ve been standing and sitting as advised by the fiercely nerdy Esther Gokhale for a couple of days now, and my chronically achy back feels so much better. Also, it’s so much easier to stick my butt out like our ancestors of old than “sit up straight.” Primal posture for the win! [via...

Sadly, our Fierce Women Month series can’t be all unicorns and rainbows. Sadly, despite the real world advances of strong women, damsels in distress are still in large fictional supply — especially in videogames. But knowledge is power. Learn all about the trope in video games from the brilliant Anita Sarkeesian of the Feminist Frequency blog. The history of this trope is both infuriating and fascinating, basically “in the game of patriarchy women aren’t the opposing team, they’re the ball.” [via The Mary...

Just in case you were looking for a reason to spend $125 on a doll in celebration of Women’s History Month, Hasbro has put out collectible Jem & the Hologram dolls. I have like no extra money in the budget, but the Shana doll is tempting me so bad… And I’m not even sure how I’m going to keep on resisting if/when they put out the rumored Misfits collection.
