What about this.
As humans, this is who we are, how we think and what we do.
Our own high level consciousness is conflicted with what we are and how we act/react.
We are evolving slowly, but we're still poo slinging apes in designer clothes.

Think about how many squats she must have done to get that butt. Sexist or not, she can wear a bodycon dress wherever she wants. She's earned it.
I think Drumpf is wrong about Mexicans.

I think he spelled his name right once. But don't quote me on that.

To give an idea at how much of a badass apocalypse is even Mike Tyson in his prime was quoting him.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Sorry for late response. Haven't been on recently. Been busy with computer related things that have been taking up my time. I'm just finally getting the opportunity to respond to things. Necroposting isn't my goal here but to respond to some of the replies that this post has generated.

Really? It's a man choking a woman So? With an image search I can find an image of the opposite being true, as well. For example:
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/awHpYm2rcbI/hqdefault.jpg
This image is of course a screenshot of this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awHpYm2rcbI
Which towards the end, a woman stabs the woman choking him. I haven't seen complaints about people who depict woman on woman violence, male on male violence, or female on male violence. It's always male on female violence.
Quote:While I do not agree that it's even remotely sexist; I have a very hard time believing that you can't see why it would be called sexist by some people.
No, I see why people would call it sexist, but that's different from what I was asking. I was responding to the people calling it sexist. If it were a female choking a male, nobody would care except maybe the MRA's. Most Feminists sure as hell wouldn't. So to label this picture as sexist, that's kinda jumping the gun a little. If men and women are to be viewed as equal, then what is the problem with depicting women in the same situations men would also be depicted in? To say "Oh that's a woman, we can't depict her like that, it's sexist." That is the definition of sexism right there. She's a woman, therefore that's not okay? I seriously don't understand the logic here. That sounds more sexist than giving women the same opportunities to be depicted the same as a man would.

By that logic, if it were a woman choking a man, with that caption, that's completely sexist.

I haven't seen the movie yet - in my case, it was a flight of stairs) before you realize why it can be construed as sexist. Because you know, there was literally no way they couldn't take particular photos to advertise the movie, or choose a different movie still to show the struggle, or something. Nope, they specifically chose Jlaw getting choked by a meathead. What? I may not have been in a relationship where I have been physically/sexually/emotionally abused, but I have gone to school for 13 years of my life. I have been beaten, strangled, cussed at, had objects thrown at me, thrown against walls, punches thrown at my face, and even some sexual harassment. Almost half of bullies I've dealt with were female. Where are the feminists who are coming to my rescue? The only one I know of is Christina Hoff Sommers. Everybody else I've talked to with only 2 exceptions on the empty closets forum, they're in the mindset that men can't be abused, because "men are the oppressors, and the oppressors can't be the oppressed." More on this here ---> (*)
Quote:You don't understand why it's sexist? It's great that you're admitting it. The problem is you probably didn't bother to listen to why, except to gather hyperbolic or hysterical statements in order to continue building a strawman of feminism instead of, I don't know, listening to those of us who have been through domestic or child abuse.
What about people who have been through domestic/child abuse who don't agree with this scene being sexist? Hell, there are people who've been through sexual/physical/emotional domestic abuse who aren't even feminists.
* In regards to the asterisk earlier and the label of strawman in this part of your message, a lot of feminists I've talked to have responded with "Oh you have been oppressed? That's bullshit. Men are oppressors, therefore they can't be oppressed." This is when I haven't said anything about men being oppressed. They twist my words from being "What about male abuse" to "What about male oppression?". Doesn't THIS count as a strawman? Feminists are just as capable of using strawmen as the rest of us.
