I like both Kirk and Picard, but there can be no comparison - Picard was far superior. Kirk was basically a naval captain in space, with all the traditional bluster, swagger, and raunchiness that comes with the territory. It's a very cool archetype, don't get me wrong. But Picard was literally portrayed as the perfect…

It is not hypocritical. I never said I didn't like coming to Jezebel. I enjoy it here. YOU are whining about the "armchair activists" on Jezebel, yet you still come here to troll. See the difference? Why do you come post here, if you have a problem with feminism? I will never understand people like you who go to…

Using logical fallacies IS hack debating. The better among us know not to use them.

I was honestly almost done with Voyager by the time they introduced Seven. I have to admit, I never finished it. But, as interesting as Seven's character might have been, was she NOT stuffed into a tight bodysuit to show off as much of her, um, assets as possible? And given her origin story, it doesn't make sense.…

I wasn't a big fan of either. But, it has to be said - at least Enterprise got better.

I am taking offense because you ASSUMED information, about someone you have never met, that you have not been GIVEN. Assuming things is a logical error. Do not do it. Ever.

I hated Voyager. I thought the show was complete hack work, and Janeway was completely unlikable and borderline psychotic. That has nothing to do with her being a strong woman leader, and everything to do with the show being written by drooling idiots who churned out nonsensical scripts that Ron D. Moore wouldn't wipe…

Yeah, Starbuck was awesome. Until they brought her back from the dead with whatever stupid magic that was supposed to be, anyway.

I am a man. A quite masculine one, at that. STOP assuming things. You know, it IS possible to be male and interested in hearing what women have to say, rather than dismissing it outright as whining. You might want to try it sometime.

I've found most dentists I've dealt with are greedy bastards.

"so we can acheive some kind of arbitrary standard where no one gets to enjoy anything."

Hope you didn't hurt yourself making that leap of logic!

I would say that the real problem is not that there aren't any, or aren't enough female protagonists, but that when there are, the ones we see are always hyper-sexualized, and their entire plot revolves around their sexuality, fanservice, and/or being a love interest for one of the male protagonists.

In pure principle, I agree with you, but changing James Bond to a woman does not work. It kind of goes against the entire point of James Bond from day one. That character was kind of dependent on the patriarchy to make any sense at all. Yes, a woman can be cunning, calculating, stylish, promiscuous, and all the other…

How about female characters that are just average-looking, and whose entire plot does not revolve around their sexuality, fanservice, and/or being a love interest for one of the male characters?

Then after eating this, you can literally shit a brick!

A woman should have the right to an abortion at any moment at all before birth, for any reason whatsoever, or none, no questions asked. A fetus is not yet a human being, and has no rights. When it is born, it becomes a person, with rights, and not one minute before.

I have long said that left-wingers in America need to start being as nasty and belligerent as our opposition. The Democratic Party sure as hell doesn't want to. They're AFRAID of being called the L-word (or, God forbid, the S word!) They're about compromise and playing fair with their opposition, when their opposition…

I would think that if this happened, the terror of the moment would nullify any sexual arousal on the man's part, and the situation would soon resolve itself.
