But they did wear chest armor, short kilts, and not much else.

Driving drunk and hitting a fire hydrant is something stupid that a person does at 19. Smothering and then repeatedly stabbing another human being is a little bit beyond that, don't you think?

What would you prefer that a female superhero be dressed in? Genuinely curious, because we're talkig about superheros here, not CEOs or scientists or brain surgeons or whatever.

Yeah, I mean, that would be even less clothing than what her actual costume is. I'm all for not over-sexualizing women in the media, but this particular case isn't an example of that.

Same! To be honest, I would probably marry cordon bleu if I could.

My point was that when a character is drawn from ancient Greek mythology, you have to expect that they're not going to be wearing much because that's how they were depicted in the first place. No one in ancient Greece wore head to toe suits of armor, so I would never expect a charcter modeled on an Amazon warrior to…

Maybe, but I do think there are some things that are so extreme that I don’t know how useful it is to think “Could I ever do something like that?”. I’ve thought about things like “Could I ever imagine striking my partner?” Or “Could I ever imagine becoming a heroin addict?”, but never “Could I imagine begging someone…

Dude, did you see 300? Those dudes were just as scantily clad. The Greeks just like their naked people, man, regardless of gender. In this case Hollywood isn't wrong about how Amazons dressed.

I’m just not sure what the point is of saying “But we ALL could have done this!”. Because the thing is, most people will never, ever murder anyone in their entire life, and the people who do should absolutely be locked away for life unless it’s determined that they truly are no longer a threat to society. In this…

This is how the ancient Greeks envisioned the Amazons:

So what's your point? Even if we are all capable of smothering and then stabbing the shit out of another human being, we don't do those things. This woman did. Not in the heat of the moment or in self defense, but in fact begged Manson to let her participate in these murders. She absolutely deserves to be in prison…

“Ted Cruz = Zodiac” will never stop being funny to me.

So because all of us are capable of evil, does that mean that people who actually act on it shouldn’t have to face the consequences? Maybe we’re all capable of cold blooded murder, but most of us never actually carry it out. Which is why we’re not in prison.

Truth. My parents are only a few years younger than her, but they look much younger than she does.

It's not ageist to say that someone looks older than they are. It's ageist to discriminate against someone based on their age.

I mean, most people know by the age of 19 that brutally murdering people is wrong. She has complete culpability for her own actions here. I could understand granting parole if she had just guarded the door while someone else did the actual killing, but she participated actively and willingly.

Again, my original comment was tongue in cheek (though I really wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out to be true). Calm down, dude.

Did you even read the original post I was responding to? The person said that conservatives would likely be interested in making a law against upskirt photos because of modesty, and I made a tongue in cheek comment that they probably wouldn’t because they’d be more concerned about why a woman would be wearing such a…

Yeah, you’re right. The same people who say that women get raped because they wear revealing clothes would DEFINITELY never say that a woman wearing a short skirt was “asking for” men to look up her skirt. Not at all.

Except that conservatives would likely say that if a dude can get his phone up under your skirt, then your skirt is too short ya goldurn harlot. :-/
