'Feminist Ryan Gosling' Tumblr Is Becoming A Book

The Huffington Post  |  By Posted: Updated: 05/21/2012 11:01 pm

It’s official. The imagined gender theory musings of everyone's -- and by everyone's we mean HuffPost Women’s -- favorite celebrity heartthrob/activist/HuffPost blogger/saver-of-lives will soon be available in book form. That’s right, “Feminist Ryan Gosling: Feminist Theory (as Imagined) from Your Favorite Sensitive Movie Dude” is being published in August, and it’s already available for pre-order.

The book is based off of the “Feminist Ryan Gosling” Tumblr account that went viral last October. The site features oh-so-dreamy photos of The Gos paired with feminist theory one-liners -- all beginning with the now-famous phrase “Hey girl.” Though this was hardly the only riff on the original “Hey girl” meme (see Gosling Lit Agent and Hunger Games Gosling to name a couple of gems), it took off in a major way.

Highlights include:

The mastermind behind Feminist Ryan Gosling is graduate student and blogger Danielle Henderson, who originally conceived of the Tumblr flashcards as a way to help herself and her fellow students sift through the dense theories they were studying in a lighthearted way. “I never intended for anyone other than my classmates to see it,” she wrote on the Tumblr’s FAQ section. And (gasp!) Henderson doesn’t even find The Gos all that attractive. However, that hasn’t stopped her from writing the kind of clever/sexy academic-speak that makes Gosling fans everywhere swoon.

What do you think? Will “Feminist Ryan Gosling” be on your coffee table come August?

I don't know who started this meme, but they did it wrong.

So...the other day I see about 3 minutes of this movie called "the Notebook" where Gosling is hanging from a ferris wheel demanding that a girl (who is on a date with another man) go out with him or he'll jump to his end.

That's sociopathic behavior. It's usually called stalking.

But, suddenly, it's charming and romantic instead of brutish and controlling...

I feel bad for the young men who don't know to ignore what women say they want to see what they actually want...

Please HELP ME analyze my bedroom. I am straddling the stalker line with Gosling, he is definitely my favorite actor to look at and watch. He makes it look real easy doesn't he...

Feminism is easy. All men and women are created equal. Should get equal pay for jobs.
Have equal rights at the ballot box(worldwide) andshould have an equal say and power in all relationships.

Not one word about equal responsibility.

True modern feminism.

Which feminist states that we shouldn't share the responsibility?

"May the odds be ever in your favor".

So, feminism is not about equality after all? It's really about being preferred over men and being showered with narcissistic praise?

Reading comprehension folks, that's a different blog's work. It clearly says HUNGER GAMES Gosling.

We can see you were worried there for a moment. Carry on.
