You sure you have no problem with feminism or things revolving around women? Saying they're uncivilised because there were no men around to lead them? Uhh...Torkuda said:

I approve. I'm generally a fan of the entire salarian race. Everything they do is just so interesting and badass and ethically questionable. Love 'em!Alarien said:
Do you really want me to bring it up again? Do you, really? I've been called out for it here. Very well, Godzilla 2014, that is it. What, do want another rant? Go look at my other threads.
Edit: Hostile tone is joking my lords (mods) please don't strike me down (ban me).

Newspapers that can't get simple Doctor Who information right.
Examples;
Writing "timelords" instead of 'Time Lords'
Insisting it be abbreviated to "Dr who"
Calling this a Dalek plunger when it is clearly an eye stalk
And various other instances that show their articles are not written by actual Doctor Who fans or anybody who knows the first thing about Doctor Who

Well, if you allow me to flex my humanities class learnings for a second, that's not the op's problem here, as, that is what the Amazons were. They were myths and propaganda created by the male leaders to keep women in their place. The more the rumors spread about horrible monoboob barbarians that hated men, the more men tried to keep women under their control.General Twinkletoes said:
Oh yeah, I'm aware that most of the things surrounding Amazons are myths made to cause beliefs like women can't lead a society, it just makes me sad that it's still working and being taught in history classes.EyeReaper said:
Just to play devil's advocate here for a moment, she died not due to childbirth but "because she lost the will to live", assumedly from the knowledge that she lost anakin to the dark side. That being said, it is one of the stupidest ways to end a character.Asita said:
I've actually met a few people who have gone WAY overboard on the whole mlp thing. We're taking full blown arguments, kinda strange and unusual cosplay, the whole bit. I've certainly watched most of the show myself but they kinda it to a whole different level.
As for me personally? I'll admit I've been a little bit of a fanboy when my friends try to convince me that League of Legends is better than DOTA2. I simply couldn't accept that a game where you pay for the ability to play heroes and where every game is the exact same team in the exact same spots is the better of the two. The worst of it is that none of them even played the other one to have any kind of reference. I've kinda gotten over as of late though. It simply isn't worth the hassle at this point.

Wrong part of the equation Jux.Jux said:
My issue with it wasn't the result so much as it was the build up to it; ie, that Anakin and Padme saw her death in childbirth as a very real threat, despite their medical tech being far superior to our own (and our own tech makes maternal death a rarity if we assume proper access to it)...and yet they don't stop to think "Ok, how do we avert this...I know! Let's keep a doctor on call! Let's check to make sure that the hospitals haven't missed any potential complications! Or hell, if Padme's gonna die and we can't guarantee the baby's safety, maybe we should plan to induce labor!" My problem is largely that they perceived 'death by childbirth' to be a threat - despite a high-profile and apparently wealthy senator presumably being at exceptionally low risk for it (Especially with what we know about medicine in that world) - and yet they don't actually act like rational people should in that world, instead shrugging logical precautions off to give Anakin an excuse to 'desperately' turn to the dark side. The death was stupid, yes, but as I see it the build up to it (or rather, the lack thereof ("because, Dark Side! >")) was far worse.
