Then can someone legitimately disagree that her actions were entirely appropriate? Anyone who's read it (and isn't a misogynist, or crazy) can see a great deal of the criticism she's getting is sickening. I just don't think her actions were justified, or that she is a hero.

I've yet to read any description of this where a resolution could not have been achieved in the form of a mild shushing. (Shooshing?)

Do you have a link for that? I'm not asking to be obnoxious, I'm asking because that would potentially alter my opinion on this. My understanding up to now has been that he made a joke about the size of a dongle. If it was sexualized and directed at someone, that's a different situation than just dumb humor.

I've seen this throughout multiple comments, so it may be unfair to direct it at you. When men disagree on this subject, it's chalked up to the fact that they "haven't bothered to think critically about women's comfort and needs.", as Lindy put it. When women disagree, it's internalized prejudice. Doesn't this just…

I've tried repeatedly to understand this from the pov of many of the people commenting here, but I just can't. How is this sexist? In any sense? I can't think of an interpretation of that type of dongle joke that would demean Adria, or women in general. It's a funny word. Partially because it sounds like dong. If he…

I don't know if I am dealing with a series of trolls or not. DADT was a political compromise that said that the military wouldn't investigate a person's sexuality. Prior to our current time, that was a step forward. The previous policy was to investigate people to find out if they were gay, in order to expel them from…

There is so much bullshit in your post I can barely stand it.

Boom.

You're not alone. The absolute pro-lifers are dedicated to principles that I believe are wrong, but are actually legitimate principles. People who see rape and incest survivors as OK for abortions because they weren't asking for it are pretty gross. I don't see how they can even make the argument that they care about…

I always thought Vandal Savage would be a good crossover villain for her. I'm thinking in terms of iconic villains though, and she don't have any a movie audience would recognize. They might not have recognized half the ones I listed in the rant above, though.

Silly MB45, don't post things to websites when you've been drinking.

Damn. I've been poor enough lately that I haven't really bought any comics for some time. American Gods is some cool shit, though. Any particular suggestions (DC in general?)

Hahahahaha, pretty much. They never really lose their appeal as stock villains.

There won't be a good WW movie in the near future. The other two of the DC Big Three have much more easily made stories - they have good villains, which the Lady from Themyscira lacks. When I think of Wonder Woman fighting some terrible enemy, I come up blank. She had Nazis at first (but who didn't?), Greek gods…

You've probably been in some really, really shitty relationships. Even if you haven't, you've seen them around you. People don't just bail in those situations, even if it would be wise to do so. Asking shit like that really serves no purpose outside of humiliating the victim. It says, once a victim has acknowledged…

Yep. In the books, the first time she fucks Drogo cowgirl-style, she does it in public. Like, in view of thousands of people. Much more of a statement than the show depiction. There's plenty of opportunity to show various degrees of ass-tapping in GRRM's writing, I don't know why HBO has to suck any significance out…

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwww.

An employer of a tipped employee is only required to pay $2.13 an hour in direct wages if that amount plus the tips received equals at least the federal minimum wage, the employee retains all tips and the employee customarily and regularly receives more than $30 a month in tips. If an employee's tips combined with the…
