Penny from The Big Bang Theory takes on Slave Princess Leia



Poor Caley Cuoco forced to apologized for saying she's not a feminist:
Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting fell into the "I'm not a feminist" trap and had to apologize to extricate herself.

A win for feminism or a win for anti-feminism? Maybe more like a win for tweet-shaming.

Cuoco-Sweeting, star of The Big Bang Theory, stepped into a wasps' nest when she made a mild comment about whether she considers herself a feminist in an interview with Redbook.

"Is it bad if I say no? It's not really something I think about," she mused. "Things are different now, and I know a lot of the work that paved the way for women happened before I was around. ... I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that's because I've never really faced inequality."

She also said she loves cooking for her husband, Ryan Sweeting, five nights a week.

"It makes me feel like a housewife," she said. "I love that. I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men. I'm so in control of my work that I like coming home and serving him. My mom was like that, so I think it kind of rubbed off."
Feminists were not amused and began a Twitter campaign which forced her to recant:
By New Year's Day, Cuoco-Sweeting was trying to explain, via her Instagram page. Her comments were taken "out of context," she said, and then she apologized.

"I'm completely blessed and grateful that strong women have paved the way for my success along with many others. I apologize if anyone was offended. Anyone that truly knows me, knows my heart and knows what I meant. ❤️"
Liberals value any opinion, as long as it's theirs.
