I found this one genuinely funny instead of just sadly amusing.

I know, I haven't dressed the link, i'll try it later.

Right.
The.
Fuck.
On.

The best way to shred reactionary feminism is base mockery. Made of win.

There's a really easy way, I've noticed other attempts to describe how to do this have appeared a little difficult.

Just above your post when you edit or reply are a bunch of symbols - easiest to see are 'B' for bold, 'I' for Italic.

There's a symbol of the earth with what seems like a paperclip. All you need to do is write out the phrase you want - 'Link' for example - highlight it with your cursor and then click that symbol.

Copy your link and paste it into the bar that appears - I often delete the http//: - press OK and your link will naturally be contained within your phrase.

Hope that helps.

Also, r-e-b-u-t-t-a-l.

Mistakes were made. ;)

I'm sorry but I don't quite follow....

Okay, amm, you're trying to dress up your link no?

Clearly I haven't explained it sufficiently, which given my new thread is pretty poor on my part.

Ah well...

:mad:

i think all you need to write is

there is no need to "dress up" your link. the site does it for you.

supposing that that is what "dress up" means...

I actually wrote a response, but because alecto is too much of a coward to let people whoa aren't her friends to post, I guess I'll post it here.

Given the reality of art as a reflection of life, and the fact that Whedon writes intentionally flawed and complex characters (especially seeing that the male archetypes are more shadow archetypes, while the female characters tend to actually resemble the healthy male archetypes). The male characters are not to be admired for their fullness, because they are not full, this is not the simple universe of Star Wars or Star Trek. To have missed this fundamental element, this built in complexity, of the show does not speak well of your abilities at perception.

The female characters tend to, on the other hand, resemble the male archetypes in their fullness. The major exception being Inara, who represents a character so orientalized that she is difficult to fully understand from the western perspective, from which you are approaching this show. The society displayed by Whedon is not a purely Western society, rather it is a hybrid that bears many of the formal and ritualized elements of an Eastern Culture.

In summation, your understanding of the show, of its purpose and its characters is lacking, you have approached the show with a built in bias, which has denied you your ability to analyze it objectively, and you have framed it how you wanted it to be framed from the start. Your lens has distorted your perception, and you would be well advised to reevaluate your perceptions.

Furthermore, your comments regarding white-male, black-female relationships is startlingly demeaning, and is an open attempt to demean the value of the relationships that many of my close friends have and are experiencing. Rather than being an enlightened viewpoint, what you wrote sounds more like the awkward commentary one would expect to hear from their grandfather when he meets the new neighbors.

Oh, and as far as the rebuttal:

Amazing.
