Also - and this gets forgotten a lot - a lot of Men's rights are tied into Feminism too! Like the right of a man to be able to express his emotions without fear of being called a "wuss" etc. The right of a man to be a kindergarten teacher without being looked at like a potential pedophile.

Yeah, it was CrunchyCon - I put it in the edit. Apologies.

I don't think that is necessarily about romanticizing or sexualizing Disney. Some couples are just nerdy and want to go somewhere fun for their honeymoon. I go to school with lots of animation majors and I am involved with a lot of people in the comic book and animation industries (my boyfriend works in both for…

Oh, we could hire a grizzled old vet to do it! That is how pop culture deprograms people. This plan is foolproof.

THANK YOU! I had a friend tell me to watch it, because it is so funny and jeeze... it wasn't. It really wasn't. I'm not that picky either and I can like some cheesy stuff (How I Met Your Mother? Trophy Wife anyone?), but I just really didn't like Modern Family.

Ugh, it is stuff like this that leads to a complete misunderstanding of mainstream feminism. I'm not a huge fan of having to explain that it isn't about women being better than men and that we are just looking for equality, but I guess I'll just keep explaining again and again ad infinitum.

Ugh, I agree. The Kardashians are annoying, but innocuous. Jenny McCarthy SEEMS harmless, but is actually actively hurting people.

When your defense is THIS, there is definitely a problem.

Which is why he disappeared quietly into the night.

As white people, we need to get over our knee jerk reaction to insert ourselves into everything. "But I'm gay, and I am oppressed." "But I'm female, and I am oppressed too!" "I'm Jewish, we have a long history of oppression!"

Now I liked Charmed, but it is a great thing to reboot early if only because the writing really wasn't very good. While fun, Buffy it was not.

That isn't what I'm saying at all. You basically put out there that people say lewd/inflammatory remarks about Morrigan the character with an implication that people should be able to say the same things about the cosplayer. I am saying that there should be a little more thought and care put into what is said to the…

That's a false equivalency. Morrigan is a fictional character. While talking crudely about her design may be problematic it isn't hurting her feelings or making her feel uncomfortable. The cosplayer you mention IS a real person with real feelings and talking crudely about her COULD hurt her feelings or make her…

Ha! I thought the same thing when I saw it. Adorable effort though.

Yep. I maintain that the first season was really good. Pretty much everything afterward was anywhere between Meh and Ugh...

Might I add that a huge reason me and mine drink copious amounts of wine is due to the creation of Trader Joe's Three Buck Chuck.

Dat Photoshop.

It sounds like a lot of people here really haven't interacted with a trans* person before. Did you realize the minority with the highest suicide rate is transgender people at a staggering 41%? One of my friends who was trans* hung himself, and he lived in the liberal bastion of Portland OR. I can't imagine being…

This is what is called a "slippery slope fallacy."
