Except, legally, she does not have the right to punch her in the face. Consensual sex does not violate bodily autonomy, punching someone does. And thinking you can punch someone because they slept with your partner, does derive from a belief that you and you alone are entitled to your partner's body and sexuality.

+1. A lost of work goes into con-going and cos-play and that seems to be overlooked. These women don't just roll out of bed and then prance around for male attention.

Then where is the scorn for the culture that fosters a situation in which showing up in a skimpy costume is enough to garner attention? If the fanboys are the ones awarding the attention, then aren't they the problem? Aren't they the ones deciding that looking pretty to them is more important than displaying knowledge…

Yes, lumping all women into the "booth babe" category is wrong, on the part of people doing the lumping and no one else.

Soooo, the problem isn't a sexist culture that categorizes all women and erases individuality and differing levels of attention to detail and character-engagement, but women who wear costumes that may or may not make them appear more conventionally attractive?

If there are conventionally attractive women showing up just to get their picture taken and maybe get some buzz, the fault is not with them for taking advantage of the opportunity of exposure, but the culture for giving attention to women just for being conventionally attractive and in skimpy costumes. If as may…

There are naked ladies on the internet. They can go to the booth that seems to have the most interesting product, and then go home and look at naked ladies online. I think men can become smart enough, heck, I think they already are, to disassociate conventionally attractive women in skimpy clothing from a good…

Except the mistress owes you nothing, nothing at all. They did not make a promise to maintain a monogamous relationship with you, and you do not have control over your husband's body to the point you can dictate who he can and can not sleep with. If you want to be in a monogamous relationship, you have to realize it…

" 'She will fight according to the principle and spirit of judo, so without a hijab,' International Judo Federation president Marius Vizer said."

I kinda think that Star Trek, especially TNG avoided this with the exploration and science oriented missions and ships being praised and favored. I think I remember an episode where Riker was being encouraged to take a captain post because it was an exploratory ship which would give him greater opportunity for…

Jesse Williams, please. Jesse Williams with Shatner Shirt Syndrome, pretty please!

I think the reboot did a great job showing what a Jerk With A Heart of Gold Kirk was and believable explaining the origin story of an overbearing, self-centered, pompous prick - who could still be likeable.

I think if those jobs were located on board ships or distant planets, some might do them for the adventure. I think a number of the civilians on board might have been in those positions, as on TNG I always thought they had more civilians than could be justified by all being family (though they could have been off-duty…

" If something bothers you, it is because you think it shouldn't be the."

To me, it can come across as a Stuffed in a Refrigerator moment where violence against women is used solely to advance the characterization of a male character. It is showing that violence against women is bad, yes, but it is also using nameless or secondary female characters as little more than fodder for male…

The problem is that the quote used seems to suggest Martin thinks all the negative pushback is for the pleasurable consensual sex and not the rape or threats of rape.

Also, the people they kill or support the killing of often have even less choice in where they live than military personnel, and some branches, namely the Marine Corps, make it very clear that every single function exists to serve the infantry men.

First, thank you!

I thought it was pretty decent too, and I will probably watch more episodes. The only thing that annoys me is that it ignores pretty significant bits of cannon. I think following cannon and having it twenty years later when they already have kids and Ginny has retired from pro-Quidditch and he then looses his job…
