unclevlad Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 LOL Wasn't a fan of the old one. Saw they were doing a remake, and figured that was 2 1/2 strikes to begin with. SICK of remakes! Apparently reviews are quite mixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A free Digital channel which has shows on Gaming like Tabletop, Big Red Razor, React: Gaming, and Escape. They also play independent movies which are very dull.

It seems like it's meant to be derogatory. In context one of the characters complains about a "Cis-Male" teaching women's studies. What is a man said that a woman shouldn't teach Military History? archer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Language evolves. If you're angered because a show decides to not use a 100% heteronormative POV, maybe the problem isn't with the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because the character wouldn't have as much of a problem with a trans man [1] teaching women's studies? At least many trans men have some relevant life experience. 2 hours ago, Cassandra said: What is a man said that a woman shouldn't teach Military History? That's very different. Military history is not about the male experience, It's about military history. Men have not been traditionally side-lined and their experiences ignored, so there is simply no valid comparison. assault 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hopcroft Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 5 hours ago, bubba smith said: I don't know what ' a cis-male' is but perhaps I WAS right A "cis-male" is a male who was born male and identifies himself as male. Gender is a much more complicated matter now than it was, at least in terms of discussion (gender variation has always existed, but it has been actively suppressed for most of history, frequently to inhuman degrees). There is enough variation acknowledged today that we need a new vocabulary to address it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermit Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Speaking as a male who is by biological sex, a male, and by gender identification, a male, I prefer Nontrans to Cis. I would also be cool with muggle. I try to respect what others prefer to be called, so I don't think that's too much to ask. That said, I don't have a sticker on my forehead or a T Shirt declaring such so unless I expect folks to develop psychic powers and KNOW that dot dot dot I do find the idea that a nontrans males cannot teach women's studies rather sexist of the character. Civilians who have lived lives of peace can teach military history, hell, they can even teach military strategy. Said teacher might have a different perspective, but there's no more shame in learning women's studies from a male perspective than there is learning about learning said military studies from a civilian one. But without context of the scene beyond what was mentioned I can't be sure if it's deliberately illogical writing, actual bigotry on part of the writer, or that the character herself is meant to be a bigot, possibly one who will overcome her narrowmindedness as the season progresses. I do know that the first thing criticized was terrible acting, and you can't normally fix that So I'll probably pass. archer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 As a cisgendered male human, I'd like to offer my cultured opinion that Doherty, Milano, and Combs were (and are) hot, and I will judge this totally unnecessary reboot on similar grounds. *grunt* *scratch* Armory, aylwin13, Pariah and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, the appointment of a cis male to teach women's studies is a political act. It's one of a range of weapons used to marginalize or destroy the discipline. Criticizing such a politically motivated appointment is not sexist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that it is if that's the default assumption of the character that it must be other wise a non trans man would not be teaching it. But I cannot deny that this and other classes do get turned into political hot potatoes at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assault Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I only heard about the reboot last night. Apparently it starts on Australian TV tonight. I'm underwhelmed by the concept, but it doesn't clash with anything I want to watch, so I will take a look at it. Except now that I've read things about it, I can feel the urge to shout at the screen coming on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
