I’m gonna say no, that's a dick.
Also you may not know this but Poldark was written by a very brilliant man and we need to stay true to HIS vision. I'm not saying that his being a man has anything to do with it but Shakespeare was a guy.
For better or worse (worse, definitely), rape fantasy is a kink that a lot of people get off on. The genres you two are watching are different—hers is fantasy. It would be generically inappropriate to exercise kink in a crime genre, unless you are the geniuses behind Dexter. Which most people are not. Anywho. Kinks…
This is about applying our changing levels of awareness and societal values to our interpretation of historical fiction so that instead of leaving the past behind we bring it with us in a healthy and productive way in order to enrich our intensely important popular smutty television experience in the present day…
Do you have any idea how much this news makes me happy? All those asshats talking about staying true to books while adapting for TV (but having noooo problem with sexy modern hairdos!) take note, Kelly has spoken. Verily: Better a dipshit than a rapist.

I was mega surprised to see the Google results describing dudes as whip smart because I never hear it used in that way. But there’s been a lot of push back on my original comment so I guess context is key. I’m just going to start using it to refer to men more often and see what happens.
dear Jezebel, more movie reviews from Jane Marie please. Pay any price
Totally agree, I’ve been persuaded by the comments that the term is often applied to men (though I think it’s still often perceived as condescending...again, this is anecdotal). I was thinking of this article http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_… though in hindsight I see some flaws with it.
