Oh, no need for apologies, I probably shoulda worded it better. You're right, the one pictured is a trilby. I try not to get too snobby about that, as they are very similar to fedoras, but I don't know why anyone would conflate a porkpie with a fedora.

Maybe they thought it would turn their impressionable young boys gay? (It might be working on me...)

I had a (female) teacher tell me in college that objectification would be okay if it wasn't constant. I don't find it to be a problem when men are objectified because, well, look at all the movies and TV shows and commercials where men *aren't* objectified. I think the problem with objectifying women, though, is…

If you're into that, I guess?

I think it depends on the exercise. I was friends with a girl for quite a while and didn't realize I found her attractive until we went to the gym together.

In any case, I'm of the (I presume) minority in that I find genitalia to be some of the least sexually arousing parts of the body. But I loves me some bare…

I've always felt this way, too. If the men have some bare chest and some ass shots, I consider equal. Hell, lots of men have tits.

That said, yeah, I'm all for more genitalia of all kinds. I've never watched HBO, though, so I don't know if they show vagina or not.

The real crime is their interior decorating, amirite folks?

I understand that is the historical context of the term, but aren't douches also used on other, actually disgusting orifices? A week excuse, I know, but I think it kinda works.

I think it's a combination of all those things, definitely. It doesn't hurt that a lot of rappers and pop stars are wearing them lately, too.

But, I'm glad cool cats like you are wearing 'em, too! Take the fedora back from the douches!

Well, and there was one scene where he tries to force himself on Skylar (or comes very close to).

One thing Heisenberg does not do, though, is wear a fedora. Seriously, his hat doesn't even look like one. According to the manufacturer, it's called a porkpie.

Especially love the Libertarianism bit, haha. There needs to be a headline for "You're too emotional, I'm just trying to have a reasonable debate."

Hm, I never considered it may seem like a test, which was certainly not my intention (as I don't find it offensive or anti-feminist or anything like that if a woman lets me pay, nor do I complain if she pays for me, either), so I'll take that to heart.

Yeah, that was the line where I went from "pretty sure this is a troll" to "okay, yep, definitely a troll."

If I'm on a date with a girl I don't know very well, I'll usually say pretty early "Do you mind if I pay? Or would you rather go dutch?" I know some women find this to be a turn-off and would rather a guy just take the initiative, but I'd rather seem like a dweeb than a chauvinist (and my ideal date is a feminist…

Did you miss the part where he named himself after James Deen? :P

But of course you raise an even more relevant question: is Robert De Niro better than a prostitute? James Deen brings happiness to men and women everywhere. Robert De Niro made Meet the Parents, which is practically a war crime. I'll take Deen any…

Well, they are very different professions (I haven't seen any of this woman's films, so I couldn't say whether she's an actress or just has sex in front of a camera), but I hardly think one is better than another. Being a porn star is probably a difficult job, being an actress probably is too. It'd be one thing if we…

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't second-stage feminists pretty anti-pornography? There are different philosophies of feminism, and they aren't all pro-sex work. Some would see any kind of exploitation of sexuality for the purpose of male gratification to be contributing to patriarchy and... I think they…

While I certainly agree that a lot of the discussions can get, well, silly, isn't it possible to have both? I guess what we'd call macro-problems (widespread cultural gender oppression) and micro-problems (personal choices of empowerment). I too often hear (and I'm not accusing any of you of this, because I…

I agree that Smurfette syndrome needs to be dealt with throughout mainstream media (only one female Avenger and she doesn't have any powers, ugh; praying to Freya we get Ms. Marvel in the sequel), but the Smurf movies are the ur-example of everything evil in Hollywood, and if I were a woman I'd be proud for my gender…

I'm reading a lot of Sherlock pastiches at the moment so I really want London to still be all Victorian (in style, not so much with the murdering and disease and poverty and etc).
