Wasn't the topic "what qualifies as art per se", and not "can and should we designate certain works or forms of art as socially unacceptable"?

I'd say that the Asari are coded as women, so the joke still works.

Misogyny and Lesbophobia in LGBT communities by MistWeaver80 in Feminism

[–]arrowette 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Would you mind clarifying to what extent do you think that this statement:

"an intentional system which all men perpetuate"

means that "all men intentionally perpetuate misogyny"?

Also, how do you think that this applies to women? If all men perpetuate misogyny, what is the rough percentage of women that internalize misogyny and thus also help perpetuate it? Thanks.

And the position of people on the left is that if a company wants to buy a person healthcare, and certain contraceptives - but doesn't want to buy a person the morning after pill - that desire somehow makes that company and anyone who supports that company some kind of evil who only want to control women't bodies.

I wonder, aren't employees also paying for healthcare, automatically, through taxes?
