So here's the disconnect. I like james bond, and Jason Bourne, and Mal Reynolds, and Han Solo, etc etc. And they're all white straight able bodied cis-males. And there's nothing wrong with any one of them being white straight able bodied cis-males. So what am I going to do. Per both of your suggestions? Not watch…

Today I learned that trying to secure oppressed minorities representation in popular culture is mind control. Uhura was a totally different sort of trail blazer I guess.

Agreed, but i'd also like to remove sexist, homophobic, transphobic, and ableist elements as well. Start slipping people into popular media that you would actually encounter in real life. There was a pilot for the bionic woman show (which turned out horrible) where in the pilot one of the main characters was a deaf…

"Who said it's Men's desire that matter? "

Well all those things are the result of people growing up in a certain culture. So, individually work to change the culture (don't be douchtastic like the guy above us), You can feel how you feel, but try to realize why you feel that way. You don't have to feel like a monster and you're not admitting personal wrong…

So many mindblowing co-incidences in attraction. I don't think I buy it.

"Watch as I chastise you for mockery while using liberal as a bad word."

"I date what I find attractive and so do you" is not inherently wrong."

So those who want a 6 year old Ender, should we do a jarring mid movie recast of the part, or film the movie over several years to let the 6 year old actor age naturally?

My bet is on the justices who would rule against gay marriage don't want to hear prop 8 because they know it'll only delay gay marriage (maybe for a decade or so) but at the end of it they'll have their names signed to a decision that's on the wrong side of history. Easier to punt and let the states handle it.

The only way in which you're a bad feminist is by making snarky generalizations about feminists. If you don't like feminists, then yes, you may be a bad one, or not one at all.

mea culpa.

man. As a male, and a feminist, I use the word lookist without it crossing any circuits. I can be attracted to who I'm attracted to and still realize that it has its roots in a racist and misogynist upbringing.

yes numbers assinging value to something like subjective attraction that is often times based in racism and misogyny is soooo true.

Clearly it is because of misandry. I'll be telling my Mens Rights group about this.

"How do fours and sixes become convinced that tens have fallen in love with them?"

In that case you should know that you can be hit by a soyuz re-entry vehicle while going to the movies.

what a great story. The inspirational fuck buddy, rather than aspirational.

You don't get to be the arbiter of whether fuck buddies exist. We don't want to all live in your wholesome leaveittobeaverian world. Two people who want to be fuck buddies can sure as shit be fuck buddies. Don't want to be just someones fuck buddy? Don't start fucking them and hoping for a relationship when all they…

Hilarious. If your friends changed their attitudes they weren't nice to begin with, it was their current strategy to get laid.
