7:25p - Frank Miller and feminism! (and boobies.)
I'm surprised no one got to this before, what with the amount of people in both s_d and f_w.
![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif) teh_no posts to scans_daily with pages from All-Star Batman and Robin.
People point out Frank Miller's misogyny.
(Humor points for kitsune_ and his HE'S THE GODDAMN FRANK MILLER response.)
Then coldbirth asks, Who do the quoted bits after the script come from?
The answer is: Gloria Steinem! And usher in the feminist wank.
coldbirth has a problem with feminism. anashi has a problem with coldbirth's problem, and also apparently with commas -- and, as it turns out, with the word 'feminazi'. And recognizing sarcasm.
thekingofbleh is a cliche, according to anashi, who then argues with him for far too long, making my eyes glaze over; then fripple jumps in, again proving that anashi can't recognize sarcasm when she sees it.
thekingofbleh says,
I do, however, mind when someone decides to throw all sense of civility out the door and to start calling me an "anti-feminist prick" and so on; anashi takes offense to him pointing out her lack of civility. Apparently, pointing out a lack of politeness is now misogynist.
Anashi comes back later in the thread, saying Teh No, I have no idea why you posted this, since you seem like you have problems with feminism. Is this some kind of sarcasm? It's not a funny oversight, because plenty of feminists have talked about marriage and feminism. And Gloria Steinem is not the be all and end all of feminist literature.
teh_no responds with the Well-Adjusted Person's way of thinking about feminism:
And, just to be clear, I have a problem with any brand of feminism that considers a career woman to be morally superior to a stay-at-home mom, just as I have a problem with any worldview that condemns women to only being "barefoot and pregnant." In my opinion, feminism is having the choice to do whatever a woman prefers. Condemning one for how they use that choice is wrong, whether it's against stay-at-home moms or career women.
Watch! As some people make statements or jokes about feminism, and marvel! As anashi manages to miss the point every time.
(For added amusement, duae invokes Godwin's on Gloria Steinem.)
EDIT: The mod makes an STFU post. anashi says, So it's a 'be misogynistic and get away with it' community. Gotcha. Funny, you know I've seen lots of debates on Scans_daily but this is the one that gets picked out, obviously forgetting the great slash debates of a few months ago.
