What exactly is "science" here? You'll notice that "science" isn't any sort of truth or observation. It's just a vague allusion to a supposed authority.

The problem is identity politics never claimed there was no "objective" truth (that is things which are true), only that so called "objectivity" is a cultural hegemony used to shut down when marginalised people try to talk about something.

I sort of liked "Kimmy goes to play" to degree (though I hated it much more).

If it wasn't Fey and Carlock's record of tone deafness on these sort of issues, I would say it's biting commentary on how people ignore consent. What's the difference between "getting someone to sign a contract" and just holding out for them to say "yes?"

Personally, I could see someone feeling guilty, if it was seriously harming their partner.

I've never had a problem with Browning per se. From what I've seen, her performances tend to be sort of adequate. She just lacks a certain presence or charisma, at least in the things I've watched. (though I can't comment on her performance in AG, as I haven't seen it yet. )

Sometimes I want to check back through Savage Love to check if "Be poly" has replaced Dan's "hire a sex worker" as his go to answer for solving most sex problems.

I might see someone who's only interested in one person at a time, but is fine with their partner having relationships with others, still identifying as monogamous— they might want to hold onto the term as an expression of how they aren't interested in anyone else.

That's not true— in stating this opinion, you are claiming there is a best course of action for us: that people, whether you or someone else, are better off not paying attention to sexism.

Not necessarily a command, but it's certainly an imposition of a responsibility or obligation. In saying it a better perspective to pay no attention to sexism, you are rejecting that talking about and addressing sexism is an important human behaviour.

If you argue against someone choosing to talk and think about sexism, it is telling them how to ought to behave. You are literally saying: "Stop talking about sexism. It's a bad choice. You ought to be talking about something else instead."

Which is the exact problem I pointed out… in "focusing on the advances," you are suggesting we ought not talk or think about any of the problem which are there or might be there. You are dismissing them, treating it as thought we don;t have to think about them because other progress has been made. Problems don't work…

It's not about your intention, but what you are doing. When people are discussing the ideology and people who would subjugate women, you pretend like our society is beyond such things, as if it's not something present or intended by anyone in our society.

You are engaging a sexist dimisal. In the context of a society which subjugates woman and the fact there are people who wish to do so further, you suggest there is nothing to be concerned about, either in our own society or what some sexists would wish it to be.

From what I remember, the leash for conflict was every short. I do recall some criticism in the comments, but it was always "nice," spoken from a particular point of view and at pains to avoid discrediting anyone else's experience of Whedon's work. Snark is pretty much its mortal enemy.

I'm not so sure. Checking the site, there was already a post involving the clothing merchandise, so it would have fallen foul of the no multiple links rule.

Moore can be a very distant writer, to a point where he almost feels without viewpoint, like everything is already laid out without being lived, almost like it's only ever been something to watch and listen to. Sometimes his stories feel a bit "dead."

Yes, it's now serialised in Dark Horse Presents. Current ongoing story arc is Chase the Lady. I read in trades, so I'm not sure where it's up too or when the next instalment is out, but the information should be somewhere.

Let me approach this from a different angle. There's nothing wrong with a man seeing women who they find attractive. Nor is there anything wrong with enjoying it. All that's an inevitable part of the man being in the same room as a woman.

Masculine identity that holds social status is given by being a man and acting only in "manly" ways. The identity that considers men must have power, be heterosexual and avoid being "girly" in anyway.
