"Simply because something about you is impacted by outside forces doesn't mean you can choose your feelings. No amount of challenging my assumptions will, for example, make me attracted to older men."

Funny thing about a comment board, I can still see the messages you wrote a few hours ago. Just makes you look stupid

Please. You said that people can't help and can't change who they're attracted to and everything I said still stands. Period.

Let me put it in simpler terms:

Actually, it does. It means who you are attracted to is shaped by outside forces and isn't inherent. By challenging your assumptions you can change your attitude.

Except it does, because your statement was a response to a comment about older guys creepily hitting on women a fraction of their age at a gym.

...Ennh...I think Fox is silly for reporting on it, and if it were some news pundit or whatever talking about how they shouldn't be sold, I'd mock them, but I don't blame parents whose only exposure to the meme was when a girl in their neighborhood was brutally stabbed. I mean, Slenderman is about as harmful as

It's also funny when people say this to women who are actual industry professionals. It's like, yeah, some of us are already making our own comics, but we can't make ALL THE COMICS IN THE WORLD.

Drawing isn't as easy as some people think it is, but people aren't complaining about a lack of technical skill, they're complaining about a deliberate choice when it comes to sexual objectification.

Can everyone who complains about, say, the depiction of Starfire in the New 52 draw a comic with better anatomy,

People can choose who they creepily hit on.

Also I think this whole "who I am attracted to is inherent to me and beyond the control of any outside influence, even my own" attitude that comes up when people hear about 60 year old men who want to date 20 year old women, or white people who swear they're TOTALLY NOT

I think the way to win is to stick to "Mister Hitachi" until/unless one finds a guy who doesn't feel entitled to someone 20 years younger than him. But I'll admit that's just my personal outlook and wouldn't work for someone more marriage-and-family oriented who really doesn't want to be single anymore.

This might just

That bit about the poopy vagina (Poopy Vagina being my new "Carlos Danger" style sexting nickname) jumped out at me too. It actually reminded me of a similar, (though less incredibly stupid) Louis C.K. routine. He described cleaning his daughter's genitals while changing her and said something like "Who would have

As someone who draws people for a living I just gotta say I bookmarked this video because there are some absolutely amazing expressions here. My God.

#8 - Also, if the loyalty of someone you've got working for you depends on a lie, which itself depends on him missing an eye, maybe you should gouge it out while he's unconscious or something in case he ever takes that damn eyepatch off.

Okay. Maintain that all you want, it's a free country. But it seems silly to be offended, not by anything anyone on Jezebel actually DID, but by how you think they would behave in a hypothetical situation you just made up wherein another site posts a similar article with genders reversed.

Oh, I know you're not trying to make a difference. That's abundantly clear.

If you care so little about gender equality that one or two women on the internet making a joke about cartoon penises makes you give up on the idea you probably weren't going to make a difference anyway. <3

Yeah, Jezebel is totally sexist, it would never talk about vaginas or show pictures/drawings of vaginas, or talk about how different vaginas look. Only penises.

There's plenty of posts on Jezebel and other Gawker sites about female genitalia that talk about vag diversity the same way this post talks about penis diversity.

Possibly. My suspicion is actual Disney art was traced (or at best, closely copied) and altered. (Notice that all the wheelchairs are the same drawing, copy/pasted and flipped.)

To be fair, missing a portion of an arm or leg is just about the easiest disability to portray in art. I count eight missing hands total. ...Eight hands missing is eight hands you don't have to draw.
