Oh, the truth can be extremely disparaging, especially in the case of anyone connected with Trump.

This is why I need to finish sentences before I start thinking.

I can’t even fathom the amount of tact it took to pull this off. I’ve liked Bee’s comedy, but her being serious is 10x as impressive. Does her show have more of her being semi-serious?

Well, if you’re doing anything without consent, that would be a good reason, but if your point is that it shouldn’t be related to gender, I agree. I just said “women” for the purposes of this discussion because 1) most prostitutes are women, and 2) in this culture we tend to stigmatize women for having multiple…

Also, I need to know: WHY does this exist before “Hogwarts, a History”?!?!?! Hermione only asks everyone to read it several times in each book, and I for one would like the chance to do so. And it almost certainly wouldn’t involve histories/cultures she’s not well-versed in.

Because we haven’t yet outgrown our culture’s puritanical bullshit.

So (in my opinion), here’s the goal:

The worst thing is, this could have been a lot better. All the problems are problems of understanding, which are easily rectified.

Season two of Daredevil will introduce Elektra, the Greek assassin who’s Matt Murdock’s lover and sometime adversary. Her creator, Frank Miller, has told interviewers that the show could never bring his vision of Elektra to life.

Of the female superhero movies, Elektra is the least bad. One time we did a bad superhero movie marathon, and watching it back to back with Catwoman made it look almost good.

Think of all the ad revenue we’ll lose if women realize they don’t have to buy diet products to be sexy!

I’m not familiar with the legalities, but that’s basically been the status quo in Colorado for over a decade. There are pro-life plates (and it’s remarkable how frequently they come with pro-gun bumper stickers), and no pro-choice option.

Correction/Addendum:

There are certain aspects of culture that are common to most of Europe, which can be fairly called “European culture”. Of course, “English culture” is much more specific, and I’m certain there are aspects of culture that are specific to different regions/groups within England.

Well I don’t know much about Native American culture, so I can’t really say, but if the backlash from reasonable Native Americans is this strong, I think we can safely say that there’s something that could have been improved. No one can speak for their entire community, but community leaders would be a great place to…

Oh please, not one person is saying the doesn’t have the right to say this or print this, that’s not even remotely relevent. Exactly what “right” is being crushed here? Freedom of speech does not mean (and has never meant) freedom from criticism.

Is it bad that my first response was “Yay, ‘the Wachowski Sisters’ sounds so much nicer than ‘the Wachowskis’!”

I would argue with you that she does do this with her own culture: she incorporates European history and the Arthurian legend and plenty of general European folklore.

Well, yes and no.

She did basically the same think with European history in the books, and honestly I thought it was a great choice. It made the world much richer and more believable.
