You did the right thing. You are a great parent because your daughter alerted you to this creepshow’s behavior. I’d do exactly the same for my daughter.

Every breed of feminism is attacking every other breed, and every subsection of liberalism is always busy attacking another subsection of liberalism, because god forbid they should all band together and actually fight for the cause.

Oh, that’s BS and you know it. If someone is going into a film expecting to find sexism, has their sexism goggles on, they will find it even if it means taking a canyon like reach and a blackhole twisting of the piece of art. Because that’s how they WANT to see it. And in the case of AoU, I see this very thing…

There’s a pizza delivery guy that I sometimes get. I usually give him a good tip because we have nice, friendly conversations. Plus he tends to bring me free things (2-liters, for instance). Just the other day I was walking my dogs and he happened to be delivering nearby. I joked about my dogs wanting pizza cause they…

Honestly, no matter what he did, someone would find a way to classify it as “falling down”. Apparently he “fell down” with Avengers 2 because it’s not okay that he wrote Black Widow as upset that she can’t have babies. Apparently her “final test” being sterilization some how denigrates her because it suggests…

The only cat calls I accept.

He did everything right! His whole life! He held the doors for girls, listened to them while they cried about other guys, and lived in the friendzone all the time! THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW.

Men don’t get this; it’s about trying to guess which ones won’t take “no” for an answer. Doing that math can range from annoying to terrifying.

he sounds like a really nice guy???

Well shit you just made this movie so much better for me. I’ll be seeing the movie again tonight and keeping this all in mind.

She shoulda been flattered!

Every time I hear someone say that women should just accept catcalls as compliments or that they’re harmless, I start getting angry.

I mean this I soooo not a problem they’re just expressing interest.

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them”

Black Widow isn’t portrayed particularly progressively or interestingly in the film.

I somewhat disagree. He definitely sounds annoyed because he is annoyed (so that explains the dick part). But I do understand why he is annoyed. He has declared himself a feminist, some of his work is highly regarded as feminist text, he’s on our side, but he feels attacked by his own team, you know. I get that. I…

I love Joss. Adore him. I was sure that he didn’t quit twitter because of a bunch of angry tweets, that’s not his M.O. Glad to hear that he is just trying to get quiet for whatever is next.

Given that he’s been dealing with this crap (cf. Willow & Tara/Oz/Kennedy; Buffy & Angel/Spike; etc. ad naseum) since before many of those giving him it now were born, I am inclined to believe his statement.

Buffy is studied as a work of art in colleges across the nation. Years later and we’re STILL talking about it. Just because it’s accessible doesn’t mean that it isn’t art.
Also, I would pick Firefly over Star Wars any day of the week. Just saying, I felt Firefly had more depth and a larger cast of characters who were…
