Even though just the headline of this article sent me into a rage, I can't help but wonder if it would be less if it wasn't written only a few days after The Sarah Connor Chronicles was canceled. Because obviously, no women enjoy this franchise.

In Terminator Salvation, we'll get to see John's wife Kate super prego and supposedly using her physician skills to help in the war against the machines. It can't hurt to subtly imply that there might be some sweet, tender moments between John Connor and his knocked up wifey.

I don't have words. Eat a dick, Fox.

(I am done complaining on the Internet for the moment. Yesterday after school, I came home and watched more hours of True Life on MTV than I care to admit to. I need a new job.)

I like how there's no place to flag it as inappropriate, but you can totally share it with all your misogynistic friends

Honestly, I usually just roll my eyes at stuff like this and move on, but that was some of the most offensive anti-woman language I've read in a long time.

I signed up with the website to send an angry email to the mods, and it probably won't do anything but at least I made some sort of effort, I guess.

Cooooool! Hey man, any effort counts.

it looks like my effort resulted in the lesbian tendencies line to be changed to "If the guy-candy isn't enough for her, many women admit to having crushes on female celebrities."

... holy shit.





Are you serious.





SARAH CONNOR IS GIVING YOU A THUMBS-UP FROM HER GRAVE! YOU'RE AWESOME. :D :D :D
Co-Queen of Dorkiness[info]ardentdelerium on May 22nd, 2009 09:08 pm (UTC)
well I was so mad that there was only that little change, I sent an email enumerating all the misogynistic things on that page and again asking them to take the page down

after further complaint, the line you quote is now "John's pregnant wife Kate using her physician skills to help in the war" and instead of calling HBC "that weird chick from Fight Club" they call her Helena Bonham Carter, which then makes the line "but your gf probably knows her as Helena Bonham Carter" stupid, but I'm okay with that.

WTF IS THIS FUCKWITTERY?

I'm mostly just amazed that it's still possible not only for people to be this mind-numbingly stupid, but for them to get published doing it.

Also, this?

If the guy-candy isn't enough for her, every woman has lesbian tendancies when it comes to hot female celebrities.

A++ for the spelling error, and really, could he make his stereotypically male fantasies any more obvious?

FAIL. SO MUCH FAIL.

DUH, WOMEN ARE ONLY ATTRACTED TO OTHER WOMEN WHEN THERE ARE MEN AROUND TO APPRECIATE IT.

I really hope the author is single. And will be forever, and never has any children.

But sadly, I doubt it.

BUT OF COURSE. I HAD MOMENTARILY FORGOTTEN THAT EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS GEARED TOWARD MEN'S APPRECIATION.

Wow, now that is some good, old-fashioned sexism. Strong, like whiskey. The fail. It is of epic proportions.

NIC, YOU KNOW THAT WOMEN ONLY LIKE DIAMOND RINGS, HAVING BBS, AND ALL HAVE SEKRIT LESBIAN LUST BUT ONLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE MENFOLK WHO ARE THERE TO WITNESS IT. GAWL!

I actually had a mild interest in seeing Terminator until that sentence.

I still want to go see it, but yeah, that sentence gave me shivers. Just... I can't understand how someone can have that attitude about pregnant women and be a well-adjusted person. It gives me the creeps Simmysim.

Oh, God.

The writer of this article knows NOTHING OF WOMEN'S NATURAL LOVE FOR STUFF BLOWING UP AND HOMICIDAL ROBOTS!!! NOTHING!!!

Good thing I have sexist-seeking missile launchers in my not-ovaries today.

lol sorry that response made no sense at all. I am sort of randomly raging.

SERIOUSLY. I was confused from the off. I repeatedly watched and loved both Watchmen and Star Trek and I fully plan to see Terminator as well. I KNOW A LOT OF WOMEN WHO FEEL THE SAME, where the hell are these morons getting their girlfriends? They sound so boring.

Same, exactly! I loved Watchmen and Star Trek too, and I wanted to see Terminator (I've liked the other Terminator movies) but this jerk guy makes me want to Not. D:

I think "boring" hits the nail right on the head, honestly. Boring women usually don't think for themselves to begin with.

my guess is the chicks that are into these movies are too smart to date dicks like this dude.
