@Michelle Janine: god i am making a mess of my comments by double posting lol i apologize

@Thealogian: right. and (correct me if I'm interpreting this wrong) the whole: "You better make sure and represent the best or else White Man Productions (TM) will not give your entire community (or 51% of the population) another shot at having a film to relate to!!!" is what seems to be what the director catered to…

triple post!

@SibaniThemis: "I'm saying you shouldn't expect a filmmaker to spread YOUR social message." fair enough. but unfortunately, because there are so few queer (feminist/POC and so on) representations in film, the few that pop up will be critiqued to death, because it ends up being a generalization of an entire minority…

@SibaniThemis: movies, art, entertainment, books: ALL reflections of society and should be analyzed. This is precisely 90% of this website's purpose. To analyze media from a feminist perspective.

@lezebel-in-chief: but I realllly wanted to :)

@lezebel-in-chief: EXACTLY!

@introverted_innovator: yes yes yes. you said this much more succinctly than I did.

I don't expect this to represnt how "sexuality is fluid". This is a cliche, overused subplot about lesbians hooking up with a dude. wow haven't seen that before. how "progressive". I doubt it is truly exploring how nuanced sexuality is, considering:

@autowin: ahem. i would like to promote this comment.

@Michelle Janine: (am finally)

@lorsqu'il pleut: nope. I *finally* ok with mine at the ripe age of 24 lol

@duckwise: hahahaha!!

@real_recognize_real: kinda like how in (Utah? Arizona?) women seeking abortions are forced to have ultrasounds and view their fetus in an effort to manipulate and shame them into not having an abortion.

@real_recognize_real: Alot of things affect the cost of healthcare. Should we do the same thing and police all individuals who smoke, drink, do drugs, work emotionally or physically strenuous jobs because they could affect healthcare costs? Or we just care about doing it to pregnant women "for the sake of the unborn"?

@nobodyr: my friends and I loved the L Word because atleastatleast it was all about gay women (a first) and *some* of the drama was relate-able, and the sex was hot (even without enough representation).

@Eralc Alegna: "Is it dictated mostly by the media/culture at large and men? Probably. Am I doing it for them? No. And please stop assuming I am."

@Sasha Reptilia McFearless: welll I haven't caught much of it, so I don't want to make any assumptions about the show, but I think it is mostly women who are living in LA correct? So I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of lesbians in LA are attractive and successful, at least, those are the ones people want to see…

@MizJenkins: I like that: "every woman has a different hook, a different look, a different sex goddess in her and the women who know how to seduce are the ones who recognize and appreciate their own unique qualities and know how to work them." Exactly!

@Eralc Alegna: from one queer girl's perspective, one of the interesting things about femme identity in lesbian culture, is that because those things are considered male-defined, and since a femme lesbian is seeking to attract another woman -and not a man- it is considered threatening to the heterosexist culture and…
