Yesterday morning in the security line, I overheard a father remaking to his son about a female POG, "They can fight too now." He also said, "She can probably kick my butt," even though he at least recognized that he is physically stronger than her. Why? "Because she knows how to do it." Unlikely, as she's POG. What sort of father emasculates himself in front of his son? To prove how humble he is? Or how he recognizes his limitations? Has he ever been in a fight? His son seemed to mocking him a bit, though I don't know if he caught it: "What do you do all day? Sit?" Probably a white knight you can't rely on to defend patriarchy. Did his son lose some respect for him as a result of his "confession"?
Which reminds me of the latest Star Wars movie...
Dalrock: Weak men screwing Star Wars feminism up and Is "The Force Awakens" Too Feminist?
Male rites of initiation? Can't have those in a radical egalitarian (i.e. misandrist) society.
SJW George Lucas doesn't like it? Should we accept him as a good judge of what is a good movie? His comments sound a bit pretentious, as his prequels were junk. If he wanted something different he could have overseen the designs but left the story-telling and directing and someone else. (Apparently he tried to get someone else to direct but no one accepted the offer.) He just sounds like a whiner.

And of course, he apologizes.

More at AICN on the SithNey Takeover of Lucasfilms
AICN: So, STAR WARS... What Happens Now?
Lando was on NCIS last night, playing the best friend of Gibb's father. Will any of the original cast be back for the new trilogy? They say that it will be marketed to a new generation of fans, but shouldn't we have learned our lesson by now, and be wary of introducing it to our children? And then there's the possibility of a reboot/remake of Indiana Jones! Those movies can't be made in multiculturalist/girl-power Hollywood anymore. No River Phoenix roughing it with his scout troop - he'll have to have some girl as a buddy, and she orders him around. Or worse, Disney will re-do the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. (Did they have an episode on the American suffragettes? There will be one in the new series. Young Indy demonstrating because his mother isn't allowed to vote!)
Would the new Star Wars be dumbed down even more, with Lucas's oversight and Disney's influence, or will some fresh blood be allowed to restore the franchise to a level that can be appreciated by people older than 10? Some are optimistic because of what Disney has done for the Marvel movies. Will the state of the global economy in 2015 enable anyone to care?

"Inconceivable"
Empire: Star Wars: Episode VII For 2015
As Disney buys Lucasfilm
Has Lucas been lying all this time when he denied that he planned for a 9-part series? (He already flip-flopped once.) Just waiting for a big company to buy him out so he could put the blame somewhere else? Or does he want money so badly that he changed his money because of this lucrative deal?

Something better... Cary Elwes looks back at 'The Princess Bride' at 25. Any possibility of a Princess Bride homage on Psych?

Adolf Hitler, Our Contemporary by Srdja Trifkovic
Given the reaction against the graphic violence in the Temple of Doom (the tearing of the heart out of the sacrificial victim) that lead to the creation of the PG-13 rating, was that any worse than Nazis melting and blowing up in Raiders of the Lost Ark? Was someone or a group exercising undue influence on the MPAA to let Raiders of the Lost Ark slide with a PG rating because the depiction of such violence and gore was acceptable since Nazis were the ones dying in such a grotesque manner? After all, it was some sort of divine justice being portrayed through the opening of the Ark of the Covenant, with God's enemies being smitten by the angel of death?
