Kevin Smith, who made God a woman who can't speak and needs to be rescued by two stoners in a movie with a female protagonist which doesn't even pass the bechdel test?

and if you want to talk misandry, smith's post is specifically misandrist in his pedestalling/white kinght/"women are your betters" conclusion, which i found disingenuous and revolting.

"mansplaining" is when a man condescendingly extolls an opinion which relates to women. i.e. "you shouldn't be offended and your opinion is wrong because of what i, a man, think about it, even though it doesn't affect me at all and i haven't examined the context and am not open to learning from you, i, a man, am here…

i ignored no one, i agree with most of what is being said here, and i'm not at all offended by anyone's reaction. i'm just pointing out how this is not the end of the world, this is actually pretty good. it's not perfect, it's not even great - it's just not the worst. maybe you're frustrated because you want to be…

do you see how i might think some folks are overreacting? i mean, how is that reaction helpful? "go fuck yourself" and "well you realize you didn't actually take any responsibility for this" are 2 different reactions, and one is a commensurate reaction to this situation, and one is freaking out. why go to freak-out?

i would agree with you on principle, but the reality is, just as white people did not ever once help change the meaning of the n-word, men will never ever help change the implications of cunt. in england, women have gone a fair way to softening and broadening the usage of the word, but in america we're (as per ushe)…

i asked what she could do right now today. not should-haves and could-haves, that is in the past. issue a true apology, accept responsibility for not vetting properly, today? i agree. other than that... i'm asking. what else?

just stop, you're embarrassing yourself. do you think we don't see through you?

and that i will agree with. she/her people should've vetted the organizer and the venue better.

every lage complex/masion within driving distance of new orleans at one point used slave labor, unless it is a marriott residence inn. she owns a home in new orleans. i am positive slaves worked in it at one point. what makes this venue bad is that it actively covers up its history, but "let's book a historic…

no offense, but i do not believe you. you use "cunt" as a pejorative in relation to feminine qualities being bad and worse than masculine qualities. admit it.

how am i "reaching"? i am noting that she cancelled it - this is good. that venue gets no money and bad publicity. could the PR part of it the wordyness, have been handled better, sure, yes. but at the end of the day, she did a good (not the best) but a good thing.

it's not fair that "dick" is less insulting than "cunt" - that is true. it's not fair.

so right now today she could've apologized better. ok, i can agree with that, but. she cancelled it. she apologized-kinda... these are good things. not great things, not best things, but these are still all good things.

i've booked alot of venues. these kinds are all over the south and are very good at hiding what they are, i can very easily imagine no one in difranco & company could reasonably tell the true extent of how not-ok this place was UNTIL it was brought to their attention by fans.

i mean i get that never-having-booked-it would be preferable, but... i mean... what more could she do right now today? this is not the best option, but it is a better option than others.

if a person's go-to insult in a movie-criticism conversation is a gendered insult, yes, that person is probably a sexist. it has nothing to do with the context, that's what makes it inherently misogynistic.

reclaiming a word like "cunt" can only begin once entitled douchebags stop pretending "it's the same thing as 'dick'! it is!"

wtf are you talking about? caitlin bree was not a horrible person. she dared not to fall all over herself for a whiny douchebag like dante, ooooh, what a bitch?

guys. she cancelled the thing once she found out. i think this is a good thing, why are we freaking out?
