Sure, I can’t be bothered to back up my characterizations of him in case he comes by to challenge me to the dreaded Arctic Shit Knife Fight To The Death (there’s a theory that that’s what killed Brusier Brody. That I just made up), but anyone who ever read Fanboy Rampage at all remembers them. And I’m just gonna ignore him if I do conjure him by mentioning his name anyway. 39. Chris Allen- Like ADD, but without the unintentional (I assume) comedy value. 40. Scipio- A few reasons: a. I’m a Marvel, he’s a DC, although I am less retarded about it, I think. b. He chose the wrong side in the Rann/Thanagar War. Really, liking Hawkman at all for any reason beyond “Joe Kubert drew him for a while” makes you an undesirable in my book. Because he sucks.

I’m not a big fan of his pal Dorian, either, but I’m not listing him because I quote “Subtext, What Subtext” all the time. Mostly whilst watching wrestling. Because that’s so gay it don’t even like boys. Or does. Except when it’s the WWE Divas. 43. Dirk Depppey- Because he works for Fantagraphics, he’s like my indie snob strawman. But he confirms that bias at least once a journalista, which is why I don’t read it too often, even if it is a fine link blog. 44. Tucker Stone- I liked him better when he went by Jim Treacher. 45.

(You recall the whole conflagration started with this tiny spark.) All the guys around her sputtered in angry disbelief at her ignorance. Not a bad example to use if you're recommending that women rule. Could they do better than guys? Sometimes that's not the question to ask. Rather, ask: how could they do worse?

I was wondering if you might have some advice on how I may get my girlfriend into the whole "bend over boyfriend" idea. I have been trying to work this into conversation for years now! Please HELP!!

Some people strive to save the planet, others work towards curing desease, some struggle for their own selfish wants and some even fight, against all the odds, for equality for everyone. Yet here you guys are, picking at each others every word because you have different opinions. Why don't you just accept that every man and woman (and anyone in both or neither categories) are different physically and/or socially and/or culturally to absolutely everyone else. All genders have members that overlap or show extreme traits of members belonging to other genders. You all have your own views and will most likely just go round and round in circles arguing til you're on your death beds, realising what a waste you've made of your time. ..."Oh, Im critising you cos you said stuff about these types of people"... ..."Well Im critising you cos you commented on these other people"... Well... I hate onions and tomatoes. I love a nicely cooked jacket potatoe. Why dont you spend your lives critising me because of that... or even better why not side with me because of it. Theres a saying... "Never to argue with an idiot or an intellectual". Pointless dribble like this webpage just goes to show why that saying came about! How I wish I could cure insomnia so I didn't always end up reading rubbish like this to put me to sleep. Ha ha… never have I read such a pointless waste of effort.

And more to the point, there are <i>cultural</i> differences between men and women. There are <i>social</i> differences, and it's possible to feel more comfortable with one set of roles and expectations than with the other, without believing those roles and expectations are hard-wired by nature.

I don't think he was "bashing" trannies.

The shit really hit the fan in the comments. It also inspired this response and this response. While reading the first post, I noticed that Karen is angry about a Birds of Prey story in which Huntress sleeps around. But these links aren’t necessarily the point of the post, either, but they did get me thinking.
