That's blatantly not what I'm saying. I even pointed out the distinction between sexiness and sexualisation. The whole point of sexualisation is that it does reduce people to pure sex objects, which is dull and demeaning.

You miss the point. I'm saying that people who are subject to sexualisation don't get a say in that, because their opinion is never solicited in the first place. So the idea of whether they want to be sexualised or not is irrelevant because the people responsible for sexualisation neither ask for their opinion nor…

I really don't see what that string of platitudes has to do with what I just said?

Sexualisation is like cat-calling: it's not something that you get a say in. Sure, maybe some women do enjoy being sexualised, but their opinion is never solicited, nor is it relevant to those responsible for sexualisation. Women are the passive object of the sexual gaze; giving them proactive agency would negate the…

"All superheroes are sexualized characters" - your words, my emphasis.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

So they're all reasonable people. I'd hardly call that a conspiracy to eliminate drama. Besides, when people have received actual death threats for conflict on the show (see for reference: Masters, Jasmine), it seems a bit much to bemoan its absence.

Henry Cavill taking off his shirt is not sexualisation. A super-stacked man is just as much of a male power fantasy as a female sexual one. No one would describe Conan the Barbarian as anything but male fantasy, despite the fact that the male lead is a half-naked bodybuilder.

Who's actively trying to stamp out the cattiness? The producers are always stretching every sinew to start drama, so if there's not much happening, I dare say it's just because the queens are all genuinely likable and agreeable. Not only is that not a bad thing, it's not something they can change.

I really don't think Alexis "Shady bitches won't tell me my outfit is shit" Michelle's problem was not being offensive.

I thought Oliver was making a bit much out of the 'problematic' Native American outfit, considering that Raja once won a challenge in a pseudo-Zulu getup way back in Season 3.

That's a matter of opinion.

This really does bewilder me. Heavens forfend that we should support charity concerts involving artists we don't like, especially when they have teenage girl fanbases. Wouldn't want people to think we were gay while offering our condolences for an act of mass murder.

But the world needs to know my apathy!

Yes, I'm sure she thanks the gods every morning for the day that terrorists bombed her concert.

Aren't you the moral conscience of the world, dragging out a three-year old private statement to call a 23-year old woman who just had a bombing at her concert "garbage".

Thousands of years?

You're correct, you can't argue percentages of population - because Australia's total WWI fatalities (including civilians) was 1.19-1.24% of the population, whereas that of the UK (excluding overseas territories) was close to 2%.

I would hardly describe as 'reasonable' an ultimatum which required Serbia to censor all publications critical of the Hapsburg Monarchy, dissolve any and all associations which carry out 'propaganda' against the Hapsburgs, purge its state curriculum of anything considered anti-Hapsburg, and dismiss all officers and…

The slaughter of a generation for collapsing empires is a pretty apt description of WWII, as well, since that pitted a clutch of decaying colonial empires and a totalitarian regime against another totalitarian regime trying to reclaim its imperialist glory days.
