The new Ghostbusters bust ghosts AND THE PATRIARCHY.

The thing I look forward to even more than a shitty reboot of Ghostbusters is a shitty all-female reboot of Ghostbusters. #tinktinktinktink

@VodkaPundit And you'll be sexist when it doesn't gross as much as the male one.

Oh and get ready for the "Ghostbusters are girls??111!!" prograge articles featuring people on Twitter.

Oh, yeah, that’s already starting. Enter left wing garden gnome Patton Oswalt.

The east coast blizzard pales when compared to the Internet Indignant Spittle Typhoon Reaction to the all-female Ghostbusters news.

@wildroverhockey @pattonoswalt hear hear. You can only like all announcements. Otherwise you're sexist or racist or homophobic…

Part of the reason it’s going to drive me nuts is because it won’t be about Ghostbusters, it’ll be about being Ghostbusters AND a woman.

They’re gonna make Ghostbusters a girl power flick where they have to overcome the doubts of men. I’m bored just talking about it.
