Shaun of the.... Patriarchy??

http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?p=23896061

Sorry.. Can't seem to copy blocks of text on this tablet... In any case, Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) got himself into a little twitter war with a couple of radfem knuckleheads over a couple really harmless tweets of his. (wonder if any of the HoFers have twitter accounts??)

the funny thing is NONE of this shit is new. It's been going on for endless.

Same axes being ground, often by the same group.

rather than the many other outfits she wore, and hang out in places dominated by men all so that . . . men won't notice them?

Funny how it wasn't the women being "objectified" and "optically raped" (new term!) that are complaining. But rather other women are complaining on their behalf because presumably those women are too stupid and immature to choose what to do with their bodies.

Perhaps if all women were forced to cover themselves from head to toe in some plain featureless garment they could finally be safe from our raping eyes.

/once again the extreme anti-sex right and the extreme anti-sex left overlap.

Seriously, these women are having a great time, getting their pic tweeted by a huge celeb, and the people complaining are very miserable, very alone, and in desperate need of some therapy. It's really no different than the male assholes on the internet who rag on women's looks because they like to project what a stud they are. The radfems and the internet gigolos really belong together.
