I am not touching that gender issue thread. Everything is far too heated and it's only going to end in tears.

It is turning into reasons why a person has an abortion. I was almost tempted to go in and say, "sometimes people who are likely to have an abortion don't...for emotional reasons." But I am not going to touch that basket of crazy.

Yeah. I actually happen to agree with vidor for once, and I don't want to have to say that out loud.

I'm just going to let them kill each other and the swan in and start talking about Pixar again.

It is a weird world where what vidor's saying makes sense and isn't rage inducing.

Ugh, I couldn't stay out, but I tried to redirect the discussion a little. You know. AWAY FROM ABORTION.

Katy is just a drive-by. :) I didn't filter the entry - totally slipped my mind.

Hee. The name didn't look familiar, but it never crossed my mind that she wouldn't know what we were talking about. :)

Lol sorry about that. I see "gender issues" and my ears prick up like a good little women's studies major. :P

Oh man, I saw that thread and though "whoa, going to be flaming hot like fire in a few hours" when spidey_88 first made it and no one had posted yet.

I actually sort of agree with vidor, but I hate him so much that I refuse to say so. And while I get his point, I'm pretty sure his reasoning has to do with that he's a misogynist dickhole, while mine is that Apatow's movies are about men's, not women's, emotional journeys.

I know, it pains me. I hate agreeing with him.

I feel like the entire gender thing is being hijacked by the abortion topic. What about other stuff like how people are worried about The Frog Princess going back to stereotypes? Disney Princesses? Why there isn't a slacker chick/uptight dude romantic comedy?

As for abortion: Why is it there the automatic assumption that she would get an abortion? Or that she should. It's her freakin' body (the character's that is) and her choice.

Gah. I don't know if I'm making sense and my head hurts.

I took a brief look at that thread and backed out again as quickly as I could. I could feel my blood pressure rising just skimming the posts.
