Honestly, as a liberal person who is also voting for Obama, we deserve this shit. We allow people like Bill Maher to represent our points of view, and that is awful. Misogynists cannot be and should not be the spokespeople for liberal thought. Fucking stop it.

APE IN A CAPE: Someone Asked...

…so here we go.

One of my big problems with Watchmen is how stupidly the near-rape is handled. And it’s EPIC stupid.

It’s full of every dumbass cliche there is, and unfortunately, this was common in work of the time.

We have:

Slut Shaming, check.

Woman falls in love with her rapist, check.

This is basically why I have a knee-jerk response to the issue of how great Alan Moore is.

"The majority of Jews have remained silent for a variety of reasons: There is a sense that we Jews should stick together and not attack one another. There’s a reluctance even to name Jewish fundamentalism as such, and recognize it for what it is. There’s the false nostalgia of, say, “Fiddler on the Roof,” which depicts Haredim as cuddly and quaint, rather than, as they often are, deliberately ignorant of modernity, misogynist, complicit in violence and actively desirous — as evidenced by the recent Channel 10 report in Israel — of taking over Israeli civic institutions."

This is, in my opinion, the greatest threat to Judaism that exists today. The Haredim are a really big problem.

In case you’re curious, Scott Adams is answering his critics lately in his strip, and it’s hilariously misguided. This man should just retire to a cabin in Seattle where he can look at the Mensa membership guidelines and masturbate forever.
