I’ve talked about this at length here and in the last 25 years, there has been so much outreach and attempts to get women interested in STEM that if girls aren’t going for it, it’s because they don’t want to. At this point, the only measure not taken is just forcing girls into STEM majors.
It's the same thing with other diversity quotas too. My local government puts a shitload of effort into community outreach to get more black hires, but they never respond. Money down the drain. It's a lot easier to argue that something is bigoted because it isn't put together like Captain Planet than doing anything to be the change you want to see.
I want to know who greenlit, drew and wrote this. Its so absurd that I feel its entirely possible that it could be either cleverly hidden satire or purposely blatant homophobia. Regardless, the fact that "Hulk almost gets raped" made it to print is fucking hysterical all on it's own.
It concerns me greatly that a disturbing amount of significantly powerful super heros get raped in their early comics. Was Cosby doing some secret ghost writing or something?
There's a comic where Peter Parker gets molested by his babysitter too. Sometimes it was done to raise awareness or to make kids not feel alone after abuse, but more often than not it's because a lot of comic book writers are deviants and they don't know how to introduce drama without rape or torture. It's sort of the great equalizer since they're all equal targets.
Take a look at The Killing Joke for instance. It's a terrible comic, but it's renowned for how shocking it was at the time.
It's kinda amazing to me how lesbian pedophilia isn't talked about at all really. My first knowledge of it comes from Moira Greyland who's mom(Marion Zimmer Bradley) molested her. Her mom would write a paper called Women do it too or something. I really need to reread The Last Closet by Moira Greyland and take notes on it.
not only lesbian pedophilia, but woman-on-boy pedos. nobody ever talks about it until it's some dishevelled 20-something middle school teacher who fucked a 13 year old boy and it's a national headline so all the watercooler dudes can say "Nice... wish *I* had a teacher like that in middle school, heheheheheheheh"
fuck's sake, "Alive" is basically Eddie Vedder talking about being raped by his mom. bad behavior is not gender-specific
Lena Dunham is a great example where she talked about how she molested her sister throughout their entire childhood at length in her autobiography and was not in the dark about how awful it was nor how little she cared. It was approved by her publisher and put out, she still promoted it, she was still besties with champion of social justice Taylor Swift, and she (as far as I know) was still allowed to work. Even against little girls, most people couldn't care less if the perp is a woman.
During the huge serial killer spike in the 70s and 80s, more than a few were men that were victimized by their mothers as young boys. The Green River Killer, Gary Ridgeway, had a mother that was distant, cold, and abusive and would wear lingerie around the house. It created a monster inside of him fueled on sexual confusion and violence, so his targets were always prostitutes that he'd dump in the woods like trash. All avatars of his mother.
Child abuse in general is greatly underestimated. We're all in agreement that children are the future but all of the efforts to protect these abusers mean that we're adding poison to the well and breeding future monsters.
Worse. Brits.
