But that's assuming that her pregnancy was complication-free. there are lots of reasons why C-sections are scheduled that have nothing to do with vanity: she could have had placenta previa; the baby could have been positioned breech; she could have had pre-eclampsia or any number of diseases that could have made…

This is a fantastic idea.

That's the point exactly: even films that are predominantly about women for women aren't technically "all-female" main cast movies. Men still worm their way into the story, somehow (presumably to give the woman's self-sacrificing date someone to identify with during the ordeal). But the reverse is, from the tone of…

Because if you reverse that you open the way for "if there are only women in this movie, men will not go to see it".

And, I'm not sure if your intention is to come off sounding condescending

You need to go back and edit some of your comments: you omitted the opening of "Um, SloppyLobster..."

Why was a doula delivering her baby? Doulas aren't midwives andaren't licensed to assist at homebirths.

(It's effective because it's going to be hard for him to grope people from his weelchair.)

Well-said.

Just wanted to say that I really agree with everything you said.

It's not an easy thing to admit that you were wrong, publicly. I give this woman credit for that.

The Last Airbender movie is a perfect example of a cast of characters that were written as POC in the source material and completely whtiewashed.

Which fact exactly? That she lied about the time? That she lied about drinking?

Call me when they get round to making a movie out of Tintin in Congo.

Firstly, by switching gender with race in this particular case, one is not stepping into chauvinistic territory but into offensive territory: the same way that in reality, for example, if a White woman were to tell a group of Black men that she knows what it feels to be prejudiced by race because she is prejudiced by…

Since the Foundation funded the evaluation - and not this specific program HIV-in-India - won't it be in the best interest of the Foundation to be as fair as possible?

In the Western world, women have the option of slowing down during pregnancy. In Sub-Saharan Africa, for example, I've seen pregnant women trek miles with 20Kg of water on her head and a baby on her back. Several times in one morning. It's amazing what the human body can adapt itself to when it's out of other options.

No, it is definitely not a good thing that we live in a society where girls can only get proper education in a silo... but I'm wary of the "better schools are the solution" suggestion when there are so many other factors outside school that contribute towards it. For example: all the good teachers in the world cannot…
