The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.
i agree. if i'm gonna get some guy making all the girls fall for him, can i at LEAST get someone cute???
richard kind is NOT cute.
gimme someone young and hot and sexy....not the stereotypical middle aged man
Although, if we had our women act like Sheppard / Mckay do in the presence of an attractive member of the opposite sex, it would rise feminist issues, as well as "appropriate behavior" issues.
As much as I think Vala was a badly written, almost caricatural character (when she deserved much more), the double standard in judging her and Sheppard is blatant and tangible.
It's okay for Sheppard to be distracted by every pair of legs in the Pegasus Galaxy and beyond, but as soon as a female character flirts / shows any interest...the verbal stoning starts.
It's Kathryn Janeway all over again. 7 years of complete celibacy (as opposed to the Captains coming before her), because it's not accepted, and would be seen as a sign of weakness.
Ooops!! Sorry! I'm so used to being around girls in fandom that it slipped. Let's rephrase it, then: The immature males supporting / advocating a double standard for men and women regarding their sexual behavior are jerks.
I was just saving up some space.
I've read so many books dealing with women's status as property in XVI / XVII century England for my thesis that I'm kinda worked up about it now.
