Not anger. More of a snort and a giggle.

That was very generous of you.

I clearly misunderstood what site I was reading. I thought this was Gawker Media, and that disrespectful discourse was the order of the day here. I am delighted to discover that has apparently changed and am happy to rephrase:

Jezebel telling people how to feminist is like Mr. Magoo telling people how to drive.

The video is well-intentioned, but the metaphor of jumping hurdles, not to mention the doubling down on athletic prowess, seems especially ableist in this context.

Make a counterargument. See how you measure up.

It’s actually not bad for the planet. Overpopulation is not a real thing. It’s something that seems intuitively like it must be an actual problem, but it isn’t. People have been saying the world is overpopulated for a very long time, and one guy (Thomas Malthus) said it so often that people named a fallacy after him…

Then things are as I suspected. Good to know.

But it’s true, and it’s a double standard, and that is unjust. Why can’t someone say so?

It is not even clear to me at this point whether you know what I’m making of it. But ok.

Yeah. That joke sucked.

This makes absolutely no sense.

What the hell? How does him having done a rape joke in a movie make it okay to shame him for his looks?

Because you have a glaring double standard?

This joke was not making fun of a power dynamic. Comeon.

Oh, it’s completely messed up. Absolutely. It’s not okay to talk to people like that. But then... he had just told her she looks like someone who is regularly sodomized. So...

Fleury rolled with the punches, as it were, and forged ahead, relaying a sexual fantasy couched in a sick burn that is maybe funnier in French than it is in English.

Lol. Someone starred a comment in here. It brought me back to look, and there ya were.

Replying to note, for the sake of anyone else reading this, that there is a substantial section of my above reply in which I failed to note that I was quoting bladerunner’s earlier post. It should hopefully be obvious but it’s the following paragraph:

“I too am prepared to see punishment, essentially, as an end, in many cases and for many people.”
