She'll probably respond with something like, "Whoa, let's not go too far. I'm in a loving relationship with a man myself. You can tell he loves me because he never expresses himself in any way without asking my permission first and cries tears of love when I completely dominate him in bed."
lol, try posting that there, see what she'll do.![]()
Lady said:The first scene opens in a war with Mal and Zoe. Zoe runs around calling Mal sir and taking orders off him. I roll my eyes. Not a good start.
What do you tell a woman with two black eyes? Nothing you haven't told her twice already. Man, someone should show her that episode of Angel, her head would probably explode.
I believe in the radical feminist definition of rape. That is that men who pressure women into sex are rapists. That women who are pressured are not freely consenting and are therefore being raped. There have been a few discussions recently in the rad fem blogosphere debating whether all male initiated sex is rape, given that women are politically, socially and economically subordinate to men. So, in my understanding of Joss Whedon as a rapist is hinges on my definition of rape. I would argue that most 'sex' between men and women, in the contemporary 'sex-positive', pornographic, male-supremacist culture, is rape.
Wow. She actually counted how many times the characters speak throughout the entire episode??
I'm have half a mind to write back and say "while you may be correct that in the pilot episode the men spoke 458 times against 145 lines spoken by the women, the number of alphabets made up in those sentences came to 348,964 for the men and 1,285,323 for the women. So there. Go girl power!"
And I'd love to watch her then scramble in front of her tv with a pen, paper and calculator just to prove me wrong.
Wait, so she's telling me that in a series where there are twice as many male leads then women, that the men actually have more speaking lines? holy crap. that's preposterous.
I like how she freely admits that she won't allow comments that contradict her views. It must be nice living in that kind of bubble 24/7.
