    It was never okay with me.

    But then again- as a liberal, I take offense both when someone makes vile comments about a Republican candidate's family, as I do when someone makes vile comments about a Democratic candidate's family.

    The profanity filter? That's all you've got?

    You realize this is a privately owned forum, right? As such it is the owner's right to do with it pretty much whatever they wish. Don't like it? Build your own forum. Then you can set the rules at whatever you like. Having free speech doesn't mean you can violate other's property rights.
    You don't seem to understand how a free country works. Its not simply free for you. Its free for ALL. That means OTHER PEOPLE get to make decisions TOO. Such as the owner's decision to censor profanity, to moderate discussions etc. They are simply exercising their rights to their own property.

    So, swing an a miss. What else ya got hoss?

    Are you upset that the green alien is not a white alien?

    Of all the movies/shows to complain about a skinny 110 lb woman beating up 200 lb men left and right this ranks near the bottom because she is an alien. There are tons more movies and shows with normal human tiny women kicking ass that are guilty of stretching believability.

    Having taken martial arts that happening is pure and utter crap and if you ask anyone who has taken self defense classes that simply does not happen in real life. There is a reason they teach women to strike the throat, feet, eyes and balls. I take kickboxing at school currently and when I am sparring with girls they barely make my arm move during kicks and punches. The reason is simple, they lack the muscle strength and mass to deliver enough force to be effective at least against me. I am a big guy though at 260 lbs so they have a bit more luck with the smaller guys (ie just about everyone else in the class except Fat Bastard) but even then they put out much less force then the males.

    TV shows and movies have been doing this for years and the simple reason is that lots of guys like to see hot chicks fighting. It sells seats at the movie theater and video rentals. This isn't even that new.......do you remember Wonder Woman and The Bionic Woman? I wish they would use girls with more meat on their bones. Katee Sackoff sp? plaid Starbuck on the new Battlestar Galactica show and she had enough mass on her to make a believable tough chick. Most of the actresses in these movies and shows look like they barely eat 500 calories a day.

    I'm asking the author of the OP and other "we're being emasculated by feminists" on the RIGHT.

    How do they resolve that fear of strong women, especially in leadership roles (a la "Gamora").....with the fact that one of their biggest heros....is a woman who they wanted to be a 76 year old heartbeat away from the nuclear codes???

    BTW, even in opinion posts we're not supposed to question the poster according to the Rules....

    but I'd love to ask the author of the OP just one question and get an answer, to get some context for his OP and its premise.


    If he agrees, let him post a response to this in the affirmative.

    I think he is upset because the green alien is not a white man.

    Though whether he is upset that the actor is not a white man, or that the character is not a white man- I can't quite tell.

    What heterosexual man didn't enjoy watching Scarlett Johannsen as Black Widow kicking ass in Iron Man, Avengers and Captain America?

    And as far as realism......

    Well in reality a man in an iron suit getting hit with a tank shell is going to be mashed inside his iron suit.

    We dont' watch comic book movies for reality.

    I was mostly referring to movies or shows where there is no explanation for why some skinny 110 girl is kicking multiple guys twice as big as her. Probably the best example is Kirsten Kruik on that lame Beauty and the Beast show which for some mysterious reason has managed to survive a second season. She is 5'6" about and barely weights 100 lbs but they show her beating up way bigger guys. At some point it just seems goofy. Its the same reason that bikini armor in video games and stupid Sci Fi movies annoys me. If I see a girl wearing that type of armor (or lack there of) my first thought isn't how hot she is its how (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid she is.

    Is there some secret hidden feminist agenda to make everyone believe that skinny women are just as effective in a brawl as guys are? Maybe, but I think its just far more likely they do it because sex sells. Regarding this movie she is a alien so why would the OP assume the same rules apply to her as to humans. I didn't have any issue with Kate Beckinsale kicking ass because she was a vampire. In fact the only really annoying thing about those movies were those god awful automatic pistols that seemed to have unlimited ammo. I think everyone who has any knowledge of firearms cringed at those scenes.

    I could show you a few things, but I don't know how you'd be receptive to them, and I've already posted a couple of videos in the Women's Right's section in the thread about women rejecting feminism.

    You seem to think that there is no such thing and probably would just twist or dismiss everything I would show you.

    BTW, banking on a "coincidence" but....


    is it likely that most of these men who are so scared or anxious about "strong women"......are not or even have never been in.....any long-term relationship with a woman???
