Why didn't you link the female artist who jumped to his defense on that shit? I did read the articles. As well as everything else. I guarantee more female artists would of jumped to his defense if they knew they wouldn't of been crucified. And the Manara pose, is the same damn pose Spidey does all the time.

While I think Manara's work is great, I can see how people find the piece problematic. Is seeing the same thing difficult for you?

Also, it sounds like you are speculating and speaking on behalf of female artists? Is that normal for you? Why not link to the piece if you think it should not be omitted from the discussion?

'I don't read feminist writting due to the fact that half of them will label something misogynist only when it fits there needs. '

I probably should stop replying to you here. Their need to be seen as equals? Yeah fuck that shit. amirite

In the future, I hope you look at this statement of yours and smh in real life at yourself.

See GoT. A series with horrible things happening to everybody and they threw a fit when a female character got raped. When guys have been castrated on the show.

Horrible things happen to women in Mad Max and you didn't see many call it sexist did you? In fact, many celebrated it (myself included) as a feminist action movie. If you can understand why there is a difference in reception between the two, then maybe things will fall in place for you.

"Misogynist" is applied to too many things and rapidly losing its meaning, maybe you should read up on psychologist's opinion and rape counselors on the creation of the term "rape culture" and how it actually is harming real rape victims.

To give you a better idea of my education, I took a handful of classes that had to with sex and psychology/sociology. Almost all my girl friends are politically active feminists and there is plenty of discourse among us. If you want to make the judgement that Im not well versed enough to speak with authority on the subject, fine, but you should probably address the issues you have with my statements with some form of substance instead of what you've been bringing.

NAACP did that BEFORE it was found out he was a closet racist.

Donald Sterling was already known as a racist before that. Unless you somehow missed his wholesome repuatation as a slum lord. In LA, where he received the award, this was well known.

Ughh, I'm having to wait another week because of my IST order mess up with Aphrodite IX HC.

Really looking forward to reading it.

Anyway decided to substitute Aphrodite IX for a Hellboy Library Edition Vol 1, so finally collecting that series.

Also the Kabuki Library Edition is HUGE, I was expecting it to be the same size as the Fear Agent books but it's wider.

Yeah, Fear Agent is weird in its sizing. Hellboy and Kabuki are the same size.

Actually wrong. I can post the link where a female artist did defend him. And no not speculating. Stating a fact.

And WRONG. Equal pay, bigger penalty for rapists, quit only showing toothpicks in Hollywood, society needs to quit slut shaming, etc.

I don't read feminist writings but do want better treatment and change in society for females.

GoT horrible things happen to everyone. Part of the story.

Slumlord did not equal a racist. Shitty person.

Uh oh my CMX digital library is now hitting steam library issues. All this preacher talk got me thinking of the book and then realized soon there'd be a preacher sale once the AMC Show gets close to airing. That lead me to look at my collection to realize I already own preacher in digital form.

A pleasant surprise but it made me sad I didn't know I owned it.

This happened to me with American Vampire when they launched the new version of CMX. Well, look at this critically lauded book I've been wanting to buy just moldering away in my library!

You were speculating on the many other female artists. If you feel the defending post from the female artist is important why haven't you posted it?

The rest of your post lets me know you either dont know or dont care to rebuke any of the other points I feel like I've brought up either in my last post or the previous ones today. Dismissing any criticism of GoT's depiction of rape by saying 'bad shit happens in the story, deal with it. it doesnt matter how its presented' misses the point so much that I have to think you are doing it intentionally as not to address the point.

Your list of what makes up feminism are so common and surface level that I would hope you would have expanded on the list or simply gotten to the central tenets of feminism. Your list gives me no real insight into your beliefs.

It seems that you and I are not interested in having the same kind of discourse. If you feel like continuing, feel free to PM me. Otherwise, I think everybody else has had their fill of this conversation here.

Reading through Ostrander's run right now, kind of jumbled in the Janus Directive when it cross overs with checkmate. They didn't have that part of the sale on comixology :(.

Waller, Boomerang and Bronze Tiger are my favorite team members so far. Strewth is my new favorite aussie lingo.

Has Ostrander written anything recently?

Yeah so far

Flag just seemingly got himself blown up doing a crazy suicide mission against the Jihadists, Lawton shot a senator before Flag could and took the fall, and is now in Arkham Asylum. The dysfunctional relationships between all the characters is what makes the squad work so well.

My tolerance for bad is pretty high so I'll probably end up checking out both suicide squad volume ones.
