Yeah, well, when the number of people you leave behind starts dwindling, you’ll have that problem less and less.

Dollhouse is 7/10, The Nevers 6/10, Firefly 9/10. (Stars.)

Charlize, not Anya.

And I read a lot of complaints about a woman leading a movie called Mad Max.

I dont do it on purpose but the stress of life is honestly becoming overwhelming for me and it does spill over to effect my plans with my friends.

Have the decency to cancel fast, then.

Frankly, at the second time you fail an agreed time without timely warning, I’d drop you like a hot potato and go fully NC.

Asimov is so, so difficult to read through now that I’m older, as the female characters are just… ouch.

Case in point: Noys Lambent in The End of Eternity. She was added by editor mandate, and she’s hollow: a kept woman who’s secretly a perfid ally of an opposing faction. The hero is somewhat redeemed by his understanding that the rebel cause is just, but she’s pure cardboard and eye candy. 13 y.o. me loved her. Years later… She’s cringeworthy.

Not particularly. Whedon’s work in particular caters to his particular fetish, small women kicking ass. Compare Buffy, Dollhouse, Firefly, The Nevers.

Ripley was… neuter enough in Alien and Mama Rambo in Aliens. I’m sure the whiners hate the cutesy scenes with Newt and love the Queen Fight.

Those movies work because the female leads are just good.

The usual suspects whined about Furiosa, precisely because as you say the movie was about her.

The selling point isn’t that they have women in them, the selling point is they are really really good movies.

Yeah, but whiners whined anyway.

Furiosa irritated the hell out of many men with a wounded pride.

There are probably a decent amount of people who will just not watch a female lead

They probably would, if she acts like a man.

Bye, Felicia.

So working on yourself and improving yourself, building self-respect, setting personal standards that you refuse to compromise on, and focusing on intrinsic motivation is somehow “not boding well”?

That is not what MGTOW means in reality, and you know it. Stop playing coy.

the ad hominem of tying anything RP/BP to being “incel-speak”, in an attempt to silence any discussion in favour of the ideological narrative.

We don’t need to “discuss” misogynistic postulates, the same way we don’t need to “discuss” if black people have souls. The request for “discussion” beliefs your position and reveals you’re beyond any possible redemption and that conversation is pointless.

Redpill and Blackpill, I’m assuming.

Incel-speak.

Recommending Men Going Their Own Way doesn’t bode well in regards to your opinion, so… OP, please disregard.
