I love this show. I know a lot of people thought it jumped the shark last season but I found that it unfolded really suspensefully, and (SPOILER) I thought the way Brody's death was handled was riveting and heartbreaking. I'm excited about the new locale and cast members (Corey Stoll what whaaaat?)

And you know what? He is a bad guy. Because a good guy would just talk to

Welp...

Well, no one is advocating that we ban this shit. But I mean, if you step back and look at it - it's pretty damn absurd. I think to somehow say that mocking it makes you a bad feminist or something...meh. If you put this shit out on the internet, you gotta expect that people are gonna have a W T F reaction.

work through the problem of homosexual couples not being able to conceive children on their own.

Actually, having seen a fair amount of this stuff (I was in Supernatural fandom for WAAAAAAAY too long), the power dynamics are usually much closer to male-on-female than male-on-male, but also closer to male-on-female creature that only exists in misogynists' fevered imaginings than male-on-female. The "bitch" (i.e.,

You don't think ascribing animal physiology and modes of reproduction to either real people or characters is kind of funny taking a step back and letting go of the investment you have in it?
