mugglibus:
liking a piece of media does not automatically mean you think it is perfect or agree with its creators
even if you are not openly critical of it
because you don’t HAVE to be openly critical of it
there is an enormous difference between being an apologist for something and wanting to dwell on the good parts of a thing you like because it makes you happy, please stop conflating these...

DC Women Kicking Ass: CW Confirms that Wonder... →
dcwomenkickingass:
Earlier this year CW put on hold the development of the Wonder Woman show prequel Amazon after what I have heard was dissatisfaction with the pilot script. At that time the show was called a maybe for mid-season or Fall of 2014.
We haven’t heard much about it since CW announced that status in…

Unless you complained about a white British dude playing the South American Bane in Dark Knight Rises, you really can’t say anything about a black Human Torch.
Don’t forget a white French lady playing a mixed Chinese/Arabic villain in the same movie.

kirkhamilton asked: You were talking about that Salon article where famous women avoided calling themselves Feminists. Do you think that’s a poor reflection on them, or a sign of how thoroughly the word has been subverted/twisted? Is it fair to criticize people for wanting to avoid a word…
*Ahem* In other news, I've been reading a lot of...
daniphantomgone asked: What you're saying I said does not correspond to the meaning I assigned to my words. Women being alive is more important to everyone than men being alive. That is not mutually exclusive to women being undervalued in certain respects. Your concept of "value" needs work. I've heard everything you're saying before. I actually factor anything you're saying into my overall...
daniphantomgone asked: ... it's self-destructive. Men who are too dangerous and beastly are targeted and destoyed too because overcoming them makes one even MORE manly. And you need your male peers to be as hardened as possible to defeat/overcome/outperform them, and protect each other. Also, your value/under-value dichotomy is very overly-simplistic. Men and women are valued for a different set of things...
daniphantomgone asked: "When men suffer gendered violence, it is not because men are are undervalued as a whole or considered stupid and macho but because they are acting too much like women, or are being punished by being TREATED like a woman. Just take a look at gamer culture and the sexualized terms for defeat there for one solid example of that." Not entirely accurate, though superficially true. It's...
daniphantomgone asked: Misogyny ISN'T accurate in regard to that. You just said you wouldn't use anything else because you don't want people to not forget about violence, injustices against women and you don't want to give people who make it all about tone (hurt feelings) an inch.
daniphantomgone asked: Well you COULD just say "sexism." But when you say it's because of misogyny, that lends to the idea that "if we just make people think more highly of women, then all their problems will be fixed by the runoff and doesn't warrant any thought or consideration of its own." I don't use the word "misandry" THAT often, but I keep hearing opposition to the...
daniphantomgone asked: When I said "consumers," and "indicators of social mobility" I meant in the sense that women's attraction is very much informed by capitalism in which the default for women is to not work and measure status by men they were attached to (father/husband). We're in agreement about the origin of masculinity/femininity and the causal relationship between the two, but now...

What a thing to log into.
Those asks were the first messages on my email.
On the bright side, I can answer asks again.
daniphantomgone asked: ...Ultimately, women have the option of being taken care of (hence, women being infantalized), or of taking care of themselves. Men don't have the option between those two. (That kinda makes the existence of stay at home fatherhood kinda difficult when women are consumers of hypermasculinity and/or indicators of social mobility.) And there hasn't been THAT much discussion on whether they...
daniphantomgone asked: Btw, when you say keeping men in their gender roll is misogyny (or because of hatred of women). It implies traditionally masculine things exist only to be some bizarro opposite of femininity and has no use in its own right (or apart from keeping women in their place). Also, there's a cultural attitudes about not being inauthentic, not being superficial and/or shallow and caring too much about...
