Topic	I'm confused about what's supposed to be feminist or sexist.
Sheep007 05/21/22 1:19:10 PM #15:	ExThaNemesis posted... neither is inherently sexist and viewing media through these lenses is so fuckin' stupid Gonna piggyback on this a bit and say I think viewing media through a gendered/feminist lens is incredibly valuable. We'd get way better media (and media criticism) if more people did it well cause god knows most popular media doesn't have a bloody clue how to treat gender. But that would require actually thinking about something and trying to understand it. Going "[thing] happens in this media so it's sexist/not sexist!" misses the point at best, and is a shameless and lazy grift at worst. I think an above post kinda sums it up. Most things aren't inherently sexist, but there's very good reasons to be uncomfortable with what MOM conveys and how it conveys it - even if a similar basic idea can be communicated in a far less sexist way. --- Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along. <cite>Sheep007 posted [p:965202298] in I'm confus...
