can we get this back to being a politics thread?
This can cover social issues too, and it’s very privileged for you to take the position you are taking now.
sorry warb, but i am stealing your bit
*sigh*
You’re basically saying that this issue doesn’t matter, which, I think, should be pretty offensive towards women.
Nope, i am saying the three of you talking for 5 pages doesn’t matter. you guys aren’t exactly doing anything about the issue.
Discussion is important. It raises awareness about the issue. I am hoping that if I have this argument enough times, hearts and minds will change. If you immerse yourself in and opinion for enough time, you may acknowledge the merit in it.
True.
I’m not convinced that the issues being discussed here today are actually issues, more than they are “I wish more people liked this; or I wish this was not that way.”
If I may, since we’re arguing equality, why does the culture tell us men shouldn’t like cartoons originally targeted toward female children?
Oh great. I don’t know why I’m addressing this, but that has nothing to do with equality.
It has to do with people arguing that some people should like certain things, while other people should not like other things because [insert reason].
In my view tolerance and equality are similar beasts, approaching the same argument from opposite angles.
Women apparently should like Star Wars more than they do. And it’s our job (and Star Wars’ job) to tell them they should…why? Just let them like it or not. If they don’t, then they don’t.
We need to create a cultural environment, both explicitly and impicitly, where’s okay for women to like Star Wars.
On these forums: Yes, we should.
In society at large: …We don’t? What does the culture do to shun women for liking Star Wars?
