I mean you can read it that way. It's a stupid way to read it, but sure. 

I felt the opposite, like there’s probably more that couldn’t be substantiated and so they’re not making it public. There had to be something more than just “my hand slipped” to can a 4 decade veteran and public broadcasting legend.

Decided not to read the article before commenting? Keillor owns the name. Continuing to use it would mean continuing to pay Keillor, which they don’t want to do.

Even without the half an hour of a short in front of the movie, there’s too much bullshit at the start of these things. I had to venture away from my local Mom n’ Pop theater a couple of months ago to one of the big Multiplex chains for a show. twenty fucking minutes of trailers, coming on top of the “Lets all go to…

I always get to the theater at least 45 minutes ahead of time, just so I can see how refreshing Coke is, how it will change my life and how it helps Taylor Swift keep her cool, even in the most stressful, Reputation making times.

Aside: kinda disappointed in Conan for having Mel Gibson on this week.

Just because we critique something doesn’t mean we’re offended, or picking a fight, or don’t like it, or don’t keep on watching it. Critique is part of entertainment. We are saying what we want more of, what we’d like to see that’s different from the status quo. ie, more badass women interacting with each other!…

Man, I literally handed you the opportunity to defy my expectations on a silver platter. You had one job.

“Wanting to dig into how women and female relationships are portrayed in genre TV and film” is not the same thing as “being offended”. If that conversation doesn’t interest you, why are you here? Oh right, to make fun of people who care about things you don’t care about. I’m going to go find your favorite jelly bean…

Saying this as a straight white male, yes, sometimes it does make you unqualified to have an opinion.

Supergirl is extraordinarily good on this, it is extremely refreshing. The Kara-Lena-Samantha scenes in the last episode for example (them bonding, but also working, and investigating, and being moms and sisters) are like virtually nothing else you would see on TV.

Then it must be exhausting being this offended all the time.

Unearned straight white male confidence most likely.

Says the guy who’s clearly offended by an article criticizing the female representation on a TV show.

“Game Of Thrones is specifically depicting and critiquing patriarchy”

No. Game of Thrones depicts patriarchy, but outside of a few heavy-handed moments it does little to critique it - if it was a functioning critique of patriarchy I couldn’t search the tag and find numerous examples of ‘internet gets angry over incredib…

Your original comment was pretty lazy, so I’m gonna have to say that one’s pretty much lazier (there was no attempt at any sort of acknowledgement or dialogue with the arguments made in the essay, just a one-sentence “summary” that doesn’t even correctly say what its about).

And the whole POINT of the essay is looking…

It’s almost like . . . there aren’t enough of them . . .

I really enjoyed Wonder Woman but it was a particular disappointment that after a great introduction, the amazon women are completely absent from the rest of the movie. Especially since Robin Wright was the kind of powerful, non-sexualized badass so rare in superhero movies. I kept holding out for something, anything…

Turns out it’s hard to develop the women in your show when in the first season one is almost entirely driven by her relationship with her off-screen son and the other is literally ET, an strange, magic alien who is to a large extent defined by how other characters react to her existence.
