Beautifully said. Another thing that gets me is how feminists are always percieved as man-hating dykes who need to get laid.

Under either definition, if I'm following you, then the woman is "objectified" in the sense that she can not has no say in the portrayal or use of her body. As for the notion that men chase, women are chased: Oh man look at any movie or tv show. Every male character leers after and comments...

Ok, fine. So he has the manual dexterity of a walrus and couldn't actually rape her. He still tried! That's still sexual assault, and still reprehensible. It's that simple.

Pretty much, and the same goes for any character. I think the best thing my friend after told me was that we all conform to our respective groups' stereotypes in some way, for one reason or another. If people do it, it stands to reason that fictional characters will.

Aye...feminism in art is a tricky thing. The long and short of it is...women are HUMANS. They have good traits and bad, they make good decisions and bad, some hurt people and some help people. Culture puts women in a different role, so their experiences give them different filters. Men don't...

Just to be sure: by "4 pieces of art, which can be divided into however many panels you want" it's meant that a submission consists of 4 individual comic strips and the logo?

The mingled sorrow and jubilation in the singer's voice... if you have never watched Trigun, you need to, if only to understand what I mean when I say, "What kind of churchman are you?" ...woah, it's been so long since I watched Trigun but that song almost made me cry like it did back then...

To Onyx Oblivion, Zepren and anyone else: If you have a comic idea but need an artist, I'd be more than happy to do the art. If you wanna see some samples, I've just put my grad school portfolio up at salerno1887.worpress.com

The student threatened to call the cops, and asked the intruder to leave. He didn't just attack the guy, he asked him to leave. The intruder was given an opportunity to leave peacefully, and reponded by attacking the kid. Fuck him. This is a clear-cut case of self-defense. But...how much are...

Unfortunately I haven't witnessed a good anime show in quite some time. Perhaps you could recommend somewhere that I could found about new anime creations. Being in Australia, it's not very easy to get a look at the new anime shows with the only channel showing them being SBS. I seriously...

All this talk about respecting women, holding doors, chivalry...equal means equal. One should always show common courtesy to others, male, female, black, gay, whatever, unless and untill given reason not to. And you shouldn't hit anyone unless they're threatening you or yours.

Are you asking if there should be "full nudity" or are you asking if there should be full nudity from men AND women? 'Cus my answer to both is a resounding "yes." Many peoples' (and my) objection to "fan service" isn't the partial nudity, it's when it's always women, serves no purpose other...
