Women Attend Comic-Con But Don’t Run the Show

[Common Sense Party]

6. No, I do not act like that.

But people are free to behave how they want to behave.

Geeks are free to like the entertainment that they like.

And entertainment providers (comic books, movies, music, video games) are free to sell people what they want.

It's a beautiful thing, freedom.

I completely agree with you in that "we don't NEED to be sexist, objectify" and yes, I concur that people CAN and SHOULD strive to be "responsible and respectful". That's how I try to live my life and how I teach my children to live theirs.

But at the same time, I recognize that not everyone feels that way, not everyone has the same values, and in a case like this--when no laws are being broken and no one is being treated unfairly--it does me no good to get all exercised and upset that other people are simply behaving the way they want to behave, and liking what they want to like. What I think they SHOULD do doesn't mount to a hill of beans.


I just didn't follow your part about women having fantasies. Of course they do. I don't see what it has to do with this story, though.
