Denial of what? I am not denying anything, I'm accusing you of prejudice, which you clearly have.

Actually, no. It isn't "women trying harder" and I've never said anything close to that. In fact, I've specifically mentioned in another comment that a much larger concern than "Hollywood" is how science and math curriculum is presented to girls, but that's less flashy of a topic so you don't hear many people

I'm not real sure why you think you can tell me about my own experiences. lol.

Your comment is sort of sad and strange. LOL. Do you think we don't have diversity in the Midwest? I grew up there and don't particularly remember any weird Christianity shoved down my throat. I know it happens in some towns, but that's like me assuming your an Italian mobster because your from Jersey. You coastal

I'm not sure what you mean by "running America" as if that is something one person or even one group does. Do you think MLK didn't contribute to the "running of America"? I know you just mean that most politicians are white men. So? Do you think they have much power over your daily life? To me, that's such a trite way

In my opinion, adding the remainder of your quote doesn't change what you said. I cut it off to save space, not to manipulate your post. I wrote what you said Marvel was doing. I 100% disagree with what you said they are doing so I really don't give a shit about the "why" part.

I just think you guys have weird definitions of how power dynamics work. Unquestionably, politicians and CEOs are mostly white men. How much power do those people really have over our daily lives? I'd argue not much compared to school boards, teachers, parents, community leaders, NGOs, etc which have a much more

I'm not arguing over the wording, I'm acknowledging what was actually stated. You are inferring the sentiment of the statement, which is fine but that approach plants the seeds for later confusion.

I don't care all that much, but the quote which is being referred to:
"Patriarchy is what leads to things such as domestic abuse and systematic misogyny against actual vulnerable women, because actual vulnerable women are constantly being treated as second class citizens. Marvel is doing just that…."
