“Listen to hear what you already agree with.”

Okay, so you totally can’t back up that there are comic panels showing Spider-Man’s ballsack with as much contour as Spider-Woman’s breasts. Check.

““a male power fantasy”. <= That in itself is a straw-man argument, because there is no such thing.”

“Because Daredevil and Spider-Man’s ball-hugging meat suits are “functional”.”

“A standard that the average male comic reader can TOTALLY live up to.”
That’s not what I said, because that’s not what a male power fantasy is or means. If you want to respond to a point someone else is making, maybe you should go respond to that person. Because here it just looks like you’re regurgitating talking…

The point is that each case you mentioned the male hero has functional armor/costume or otherwise professional appearance in public. Iron Man doesn’t have the equivalent of a “boob window”. Professor X wears suits. Reed Richards’ functional costume doesn’t feature combat-impairing components for the sake of…

“He wears powered armor.”

Giving stars is not enough. I had to reply just to say how spot on your analysis in this thread has been. Sucks that the typical “But . . . but . . . think of the men!!!” brigade has arrived to let you know that you’re making a big deal over nothing. uggghhhhhh

My wife says you should feel terrible. +1

Wow, you must have read so much. Really tried to listen. Two whole hours. Much try. So effort.

You are looking at the world through a very smudged lens. I encourage you to do a lot more listening. I know when I went to sites like Jezebel with the intent of really listening the the voices there, it was amazing. Same with minority voices. I’m 42 now, and I can’t believe how long I didn’t hear because I wasn’t…

If you’re working to address issues facing men, such as domestic or sexual violence, my experience is that feminists support that 100%. On the other hand, my experience is also that most men bring this stuff up not because they are actively trying to have those issues addressed but to marginalize the issues facing…

Did get showrunners have enougb notice so that the end of Season 5 is a true finale and not a cliffhanger? I’d assume so given how much time has passed, and it would suck if they weren’t able to have a satisfying conclusion of at least the main plot line. Also, root & Shaw.

Among my absolute favorite Asimov shorts. +1 reference.

I live around Columbus, OH. Soccer is ok. Am I supposed to go watch the Crew or not?

Orlando Jones openly petitioning for the role of Mr. Nancy via Twitter, was RT’d by Neil Gaiman which Orlando then directed to @BryanFuller.

Oh, it was solved in 2015 then? Well, that changes everything! I mean, it’s not like the GTA series continues to be popular despite the notedly sexist in-game culture. I’m sure the next one will be totally on the up and up! Witcher 3 *definitely* knows how to treat it’s women-folk: http://www.cracked.com/article_22670_…

We disagree for sure on the term “coerce”, at least as applied. I don’t think people who have traditionally been marginalized (and those who support them) speaking up for what they would like to see in video games as “coercion”, even at the level of protesting and boycotting. The entities being spoken to are no…

“There are no sexist games in AAA design anymore. It is done and people should be happy about it.”

Art serves many different purposes. This game is intentionally made to be commercial art, it was never created to be art just for the sake of creation. In the service of its purpose, the corporate entity creating it is not just within its rights to modify the content based on actual or even anticipated feedback it is…
