You sound like the one who needs to do some work with her "fee fees," here.

Yep. Eventually they just swear at you. I'm bracing myself for it after my past couple of responses. Sigh.

Her reasons were much more thoughtful and articulate than "WAAAAAAHHHH." In fact, she never even indicated that she was personally hurt by any of the points she raised, so the WAAAAHHH argument is totally invalid.

S/he is saying that she would like to discuss the issue in a respectful manner. Surely, there are worse offenses?

Thank You. Jesus, it it exhausting to try to have a discussion/debate with commenters who seem stalwart in their intention to be hurt, outraged, and antagonistic. Those feelings are legitimate, but so is productive dialogue.

I think that this madness directly correlates to changing definitions of what marriage means. Divorce is prevalent and easy(ish), more people are cohabitating and/or having kids before marriage, less exchange of woman as property stuff, less religion.

This was very articulate, and I agree with all of it. The satire simply would not have worked if Allen had avoided casting Black backup dancers.

ETA: missing comma and letter "a."

If you read the comment closely, I think the issue is a missing comma. I, too, freaked out initially; but let's take a closer look.

Thanks for this! I agree. Actually, I have enjoyed NC in every movie I have seen him in.

I think that the average straight masturbating male (for whom most porn is made) doesn't give a shit about the female performers' pleasure, unfortunately. The fantasy is about using their objectified bodies to get his rocks off, often by identifying solely with the male performer's pleasure.

Ummm...I never mentioned anything about self-arming, or said anything remotely resembling that quote.

Yeah, O.K., whatever. Good job.

Dumbass. Any savvy student knows that approximately 96% of college professors under the age of 45 read Gawker Media in their office all day long (right...right?).

Yes. He is truly a postmodern performance artist.
