Just so, Russell.
However, racism against Obama doesn't justify sexism against Clinton, and sexism against Clinton doesn't justify racism against Obama. Both are reprehensible.

There you go, Danielle. Not the 'can't you take a joke' defence, but the 'lanugge is subjective anyway' and the ' it's all your fault for taking offence' answers, followed by the non-apology.
Textbook stuff, really.

David, "witch' is a term loaded with pejorative overtones, in a way that bastard is not.
Have a look at this catalogue of sexism directed at Hillary Clinton - it's incredible.
The sensible thing for you to do now is to admit that you used a misognyst term, stop trying to defend it by some half-arsed remark about using 'warlock' or 'bastard', and then look for some of the many sensible and valid criticisms of Clinton that can be made, instead of criticising her for daring to be a woman.
Saying sorry would be nice too.

Could he finally kill off the witch?
FFS, stop the misogyny.

Film 2 will be entirely between the end of the hobbit and beginning of fellowship. How they're going to hollywood that sufficiently, I don't know, but the new director has been in talks with Jackson and Wilde about it and all three are in agreement there's a good movie there.
Ahh.... that will be the story of Aragorn and Arwen then, as the centrepiece maybe. Goody - more Viggo.

One of the worst things I've ever read was an extensive essay about what a misogynistic bastard Joss Whedon is, playing out his rapist fantasies.
I read that one too Emma, and while there was some (NB but not all, by any means) of it that I thought made good points, calling him a rapist was just bizarre. And hate filled.

Ahh...... happy birthday perhaps?

As long as I can be captain!
Actually, I've been staying silent because the topic area is far too close to my old employment.

Yeah, sorry about the Volvo gag, Emma. Right up until the last moment, I was wondering if it might be in dubious taste, and whether I should leave it out.
Of course it was in dubious taste! But it was oh so funny.
