deathpixieA few links popped up on various friendslists recently, so I thought I'd compile them for people to read.
The Good is from Jezrana, on Insane Journal, who I found via a [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] post. Here, she brings some much needed sense to a very scary place.
The Bad: Dissenter (who seems to be the same [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] who comments first on the next link below), and her essay on slash as misogynistic. Jezrana's post is in response to this, which is the same pseudo-intellectual twaddle as the next post:
The Ugly: [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]'s post on Firefly as a propaganda vehicle for the male patriarchy, and in her comments states her belief that Joss Whedon rapes his wife, since anyone who wrote Firefly has to be the worst example of men ever.
Both Dissenter and _allecto_ have comment screening policies, in that they delete anything that contradicts their rather offensive drivel. I've always loathed this type of feminist, the sort that seems to believe the greatest sin anyone can commit is to be born male - if you have a penis, according to them, you have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. *grfs*

Date: 2008-03-26 06:41 pm (UTC)I think there's still a bias in pop culture against a lot of things (not just women) - I lean more towards Whedon's style of response then the crazytimepeople's. If you want something better, write it yourself.
(I am however, a lazy so and so, so all you get from me is rpg, fanfic and cupcakes.) But they're feminist cupcakes. Men and women can enjoy them equally.
