Only ONE throwaway mention of the absolutely amazing Peter Lorre, who escaped Nazi Germany in spite of having the dubious “honor” of being one of Hitler’s favorite actors?

What a drag.

Since you’re not providing any actual arguments, is your argument that a man and a woman both lacking in money, social standing, education and marketable skills have an equal amount of opportunities at their disposal?

I genuinely don’t understand what you think being deliberately obtuse will do to strengthen your argument other than give you an excuse to throw out the R-word. He’s clearly not referring to a “Melanie” on its own, but that (presumably) your full name isn’t “Melanie Dorchester-Smythe” or “Melanie…

Literally everyone, eeeevaryone, asks me to speak Swedish when they find out I’m a Swede living in the US.

And when your boyfriend says “baby, please, I just want to take a picture with my dick in your mouth and upload it to the Cloud”, I mean, what? Are you supposed to NOT do it?

That’s not what’s being said. Barring physical deformities or severe mental issues, even conventionally unattractive women can find companionship if they’re willing to lower their standards and compromise enough. The same isn’t true for men. In dating, women have inherent worth while men are 100% disposable. Ask…

That wasn’t the example I was going to use, but that you don’t even register not having to worry about isolation and loneliness as a privilege speaks absolute VOLUMES about who you are, what your perspective is and where you are in life.

You would literally be dooming any and all of those women’s careers by attaching a $200,000,000 flop to them, and ensure that Hollywood wouldn’t even consider casting an Asian woman in a starring role for years and years and years.

Not really. There’s still work to do, but society has (and is continuing to) compensate for a lot of injustices and inequalities in a multitude of ways. Where one thing benefits men, another benefits women. You can take advantage of a good amount of perks either way, and there’s a good amount that sucks either way.

The game looks sorta plane.

Ehhh, it benefits “men” the same way “Jews” control Hollywood. There are some Jewish people in some important position, but in practice that means fuck-all to your average Jewish person. If you have the right money and the right connections, you have more opportunities to exploit being a man to your advantage, but…

Not a stretch, my friend. You’re going into a long established tradition they’re all willingly participating in and going “goodness!” and moralizing since it’s not how you feel comfortable playing games. If it’s not your thing, fine. But saying how they SHOULD act to make YOU feel comfortable is some straight-up…

Oh good, here comes the gentrification to sanitize the parts of a culture they’re not comfortable with!

Wait, should I rename my 12-pack slider concept, “tiny gross burgers”, before pitching it to McDonalds?

Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is one of the top albums of the 90's, for sure.

I would agree with the basic assessment, as that was always the impression I, a dude who fucking loves to sing, got. However, I would argue it had more to do with being a more “sensitive” art, whether you take that to imply “feminine”, “gay” or a more general (non-sexual) immasculine.

*7 Seconds* is a great fucking song, speaking of Neneh Cherry.

Yeah! If you released this movie in American theatres, it would triple its budget the first weekend, easily! Oh boy, domestically unknown Japanese actor? Honey, let’s get three tickets each and get in line right now!!!

Obligatory reminder that Superman isn’t weak to magic, he’s just not strong against it the way he is to physical attacks. A magic fireball won’t hurt him any more than non-magic fire will, but, say, Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth will bind him and affect him the same way it does anyone else.
