The ads specifically said no men allowed, even if they don't have a bouncer on hand they're at least advertising it as being discriminatory. And yes, people aren't going to say "well, you're being discriminatory, but you're having fun doing it, so that's fine".

Discrimination should be avoided, whether based on gender or religion.

"I really want to see this movie" doesn't magically make discrimination acceptable.

"Why aren't you setting up their own boys-only screening of whatever movie you want to watch?"- because the solution to discrimination isn't "discriminate in the other direction"? If a bus is forcing black people to sit in the back, the solution isn't to start your own bus company where white people are the ones…

So you're assuming all the people who are, according to their policies, more dedicated to the cause of gender equality than you seem to be, are actually secret sexists? That's a stretch.

It's not weird to go "that seems like discrimination, which is bad, someone should do something".

So they were just saying that they were going to discriminate, but then they didn't enforce it? That's still not great.

Why does saying "Themyscira is a deeply sexist society' make you think he thinks it's real? Do you react the same way when you hear people talk about The Handmaid's Tale?

So exactly how big a deal does the discrimination have to be for you to be against it? How many lunch counters would they have to be banned from for you to support the protest? Two? Ten?

Why would supporting women's empowerment mean you support discrimination?

So anti-discrimination laws protect women, but if men are being discriminated against they're just whiny? Got it.

" I will never understand the thought process that goes into thinking other people can't have things too."

Probably because people are fine with treating people differently based on age or military service, but not based on gender?

That'd be a much better comment if he actually said or did anything sexist, rather than being the one objecting to sexism.

None of this context makes up for the fact that it's discrimination. It's mild, but it's in the same ballpark as if a concert had sections that banned jews, or if a diner had a whites only section. It's not the biggest discrimination in the world, but it is discrimination, and to say "well, why should he be bothered,…

Isn't China kind of touchy about the undead? And do comedies do all that well over there? So "Comedy about ghosts" seems like it's not especially China-friendly to begin with.

If I learned anything this week, it's that Richard probably just needs a cheaper lawyer.

I think part of it might be the divide in seriousness. If it was "everyone should be hesitant to say it", then I think they'd probably be fine avoiding it, but when it's "this group can never say it, this group can say it nonchalantly" it gets weird.

I wouldn't call it a weird obsession. If they're prepping for an apocalyptic scenario, which is the weird part, then of course they want clothing that would be practical in that situation. It's not like they seem to be talking about fashion much, just practicality and blending in, which of course they care about.

I think we just have incredibly low standards for Ted Nugent at this point. Kathy Griffin has to function by mostly normal person rules.
