There are a few problems with this situation.

I think someone must have done this to me, because I'm getting a bunch of magazines delivered to my house that I don't want.

He's got great recovery in his normal jumps. Floaty mobility, remember. Recovering with PK Thunder is questionable sometimes (especially for anyone not familiar with the character), but I wouldn't call his recovery "ass". Little Mac has "ass" recovery. Ness is doing OK. He can get back from a lot, even without ever

Maybe you should tell him about how gross you think old people are. And how old people should be denied basic human rights.

If you truly are legitimately offended by racism, I don't think you're the sort of person they were talking about.

Fox News, the awful news network, does not play sports.

I don't know if that's really fair to say. The Black woman who "played" the character first was really more of a recurring extra. I'm quite sure that the background character was never even addressed as "Lavender" at any point in the films, even if it did show up in the credits. In addition, there were a few films

Bystander effect would make each individual be unwilling to be the one to take action. Sometimes you just have to directly tell someone that you need them to do something to overcome bystander effect.

A man being a decent human being is amazing? You've got some low standards.

What you're describing is a different problem than the simple act of sitting with legs opened. What you're describing is the behavior of a jerk and that is not OK. However, merely sitting with one's legs opened is not itself the behavior of a jerk, it's the behavior of a person that is just trying to be comfortable.

I'm glad there are some reasonable folks in the comments. So many seem like women who are jealous that men are "allowed" to sit like this (but are unwilling to go against expectations of their gender in the name of comfort), while others seem to be universally condemning the simple act of sitting in this comfortable

yeah no this is not a mainstream issue at all

The only reason women do not sit like this is that they're socialized into avoiding it. If women were free to be however they want to be and never had any internalized biases, you'd see a lot more women sitting like this. Probably at least half.

Men are socialized to be assertive and dominant. This means taking up more space.

That is very not OK, but that's a separate problem.

The obvious answer is to reject the gender binary sit comfortably yourself, however that might be. The way you're talking feels like envy over the cultural expectation for men to sit like that. If you want to sit like that, just do it.

Yeah, but how can we fix that? What is it about women that makes them unwilling to sit in that casual, comfortable position? How can we encourage women to reject cultural expectations of their gender and be willing to sit however they want?

If anyone died, the responsibility would be on the ones who pulled the trigger, not on a company that released a movie. It is not the movie industry's responsibility to stop terrorists from being terrorists.

Presidential candidates are usually a lot closer to center than their extreme bases. I would expect most Republican Presidential candidates are far more agreeable than you might think, even if they're still disagreeable overall.

Being white males does not make them wrong and has nothing to do with the film, the hacking, or the terrorist threat. There's really no need to arbitrarily inject racism and sexism into this.
