1.) There are trans actors who would gladly and more accurately portray the role.

Yeah, but he’s a cis dude playing a trans woman. He plays a trans woman on the show Penny Dreadful, too.

Yup. Also, I’m not sure why the only trans character is being played by a cis dude.

Sure, haha.

It’s not really about that, though, is it? No one here is saying that you can’t have an opinion, offer advice, or generally comment. However, if someone who has lived through the experience reacts to your comment by saying you may not have the whole picture, the best course of action is to sit down and listen. Or you…

While sexist attitudes may have been more prevalent and accepted back then, it seems that it wasn’t necessarily worse, just different. Since movies couldn’t have sex scenes, female characters had to be given more dynamic roles than just “hot girl 4” and “trophy wife.” Instead, women ended up playing roles that women…

Originally her lasso was meant to make men obey and submit, not necessarily tell the truth. Sounds like the creator had some interesting fantasies.

Right? It’s sort of like that episode of Bob’s Burgers where Tina dreams she’s flying around, kissing boys as they lay on the ground. Only it’s not kissing on my mind...

Lots of passages from 50 Shades appear to be lifted word-for-word from Twilight. Possibly because 50 Shades was originally a Twilight fanfiction.

But she didn’t say it. The interviewer said it, then assumed that she agreed based on a smile.

Your sexuality isn’t defined by who you happen to be dating, though. I’m currently involved with a man, but that doesn’t make me any less bisexual.

I think you do have a point. Obviously we know very little for certain about sexuality. But I think, while we may be able to acknowledge that these things do happen sometimes, it’s not really fair to make the assumption that anyone’s bisexuality is a “phase.” That’s what the interviewer did, and that, I think we can…

The funny (and by “funny” I really mean “depressing”) part about being bisexual is that, whether the person judging you is gay or straight themselves, they always assume you just like dick and will go back to it eventually. This goes for bisexual people regardless of gender. Bisexual women are assumed straight and…

Sadly, even liberal men who believe themselves to be lovers of “strong women” can still fall into the same old misogynistic bullshit. The most annoying part about these kinds of men is that they think that, since they’re liberal, there’s no possible way they could ever do anything misogynistic, so telling them become…

I’m not assuming. I’m close-reading the text. That means looking at the specific language being used and reading into the implications of it. Look it up. It’s a widely-accepted critical technique. I’m using textual evidence, such as the specific things he said about her appearance, to build my argument.

It’s a hard truth, regardless of your gender, that the only common denominator in all of one person’s failed relationships is them. The OP is specifically asking for things he can do. He’s not asking for things other people should be doing at all.

Just happened upon this. Remember when you said people on this site tell men who are having trouble dating to fix their appearence? Have you noticed the other replies in this thread? They say exactly the opposite. Notice how kind and supportive they are, while still getting to the hard truth that it’s impossible to…

That’s not what he describes. Slovenly implies that the person is dirty and/or their dress is unkempt. He says he thinks her hairstyle is out of date (some people like more classic hairstyles, some like more modern ones, so his opinion wouldn’t be valid for every man who saw her). He says he doesn’t like her clothes…

I’m assuming he didn’t look at anything else because the only assumption he ever came to was that she didn’t dress the way he liked. If he had even tried to delve deeper, he would have found other things of note because, as we have discussed, not all men are attracted to the same things in a woman. There are plenty of…

Did you actually read what I wrote? Or did you just reply and say exactly the same things over and over again?
