New Ghostbusters trailer and movie recieving backlash

So....you're psychic?

Seriously, you just admitted that you completely made up the entire argument you claim to be fighting against. Strawman arguments are common around here, but it's uncommon to have someone admit it.

I am not psychic but I catch sometimes manipulation of words.

You know what's odd? A similar thing happened with the new Starwars movie.
The main character being a female, and the secondary character was a black guy.
I heard there was a whole thing on Facebook about people petitioning the movie, with #WhiteGenocide about how the movie was pushing a "pro-diversity" and "feminist" agenda.
After seeing Starwars, I can see how it seemed like that was what they were going for.
( I don't have a Facebook, but I've read articles online about this. )
But, many movies are starting to do that now. Think about Frozen, and the feminist message there.


We all know that if the new Ghostbusters had an all-white, mostly male cast , the movie would have been called "racist" for not having other ethnicities in it. The whole movie industry just can't win these days!

~~~ This Sounds like what's happening in Ghost Busters now....
I haven't even seen the trailer yet, and it already sounds like its "trying too hard" to push girl-power.
But even if the movie had an all-male cast, I wouldn't feel "offended" in any way.

To me it didn't make sense to me either.

I am not sure what you think I am admitting or not admitting but don't be coy...explain what you mean..quit manipulating ...lol

I appreciate the straightforward reply.

Well it has been an unwritten rule. If a man can not provide he is not worth much.

That's true. I'll go for someone who is 200% (or even 1000%) superior than me, even if I am capable of feeding him.

As for short...well that is just a stigma ive heard short guys say. I am 6 feet so i don't have that problem but i know guys that always get turned down because of height.

Maybe you have forgotten Napoleon Bonaparte. In RL, I have close encounter with short people who were truly respected even by people who reached PhD level. But those who have vice, vile, and won't contribute anything good to his place, for sure won't be respected, IMO.

Home ...yes, but there have been times at different jobs that I didn't get the respect I thought I deserved for hard work..so no, my gender, didn't give me opportunities in those areas. Sometimes its just the people in charge that hold us back..not a gender.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Now, I understand at least and had working theory as to why you have such a strong POV on issues concerning human self-recognition, capability and incapability... I won't make any bias judgement of it at all, and won't be taken personally.

You're welcome. I don't shy away from that. I think it what gets me into trouble..lol

Its a unwritten rule men are aware of.....it may be one of the reasons some hold onto it.

maybe respected is not the right word or maybe it is..but without accomplishments..most men with certain limitations according to societies standards of what a man is certainly doesn't get recognition without it. Napoleon is known for his accomplishments as a dictator but if he was just short guy working at the steel mill would anyone really be that impressed.

Thanks, but it is what it is. I don't put the blame on my being born a man or do I put the blame on my bosses being a woman or man. Some people are just rotten and inconsiderate. Getting back to the original post. I still think it was silly for these women to use the "female power" thing and I am glad some women didn't buy into it.
