THANKS, Z6IIAB. You are a RAY of SUNSHINE.

(Now I feel a little bad about wanting more Pooch and Percy... chances are, so does Tat.)

You know when this assult started, I was inclined to agree with the johnbees. I would love to see a real positive male (other than the artist, because he's kinda meta in this world?). But I want that person to have earned his place, not just appeared, to make anybody feel good! You know, image Slick and Squigly being invited into the backery, because they have properly seen their misdeeds and changed and are now fighting with the sisterhood? But, alas, that's not what the johnbees are talking about, they want to be represented more positively and that out of nothing and not earned (or rather, because of violence and blackmail)... Stay strong Tat!

I think tat is pretty much a realist. Most men are misogynists, especially on USA. It's not like they really want to be nice guys, they just don't want women to complain about patriarchy, misogyny and sexism.

I'm just keeping things real.

I'm not from the US (or anywhere near in fact), so I'll just take your (sad) word for what the majority looks like over there. Though, I've been wondering, why don't we see any of the main characters (you know, with names) beein johnbees? Is it because they have more depth (naturally) or is it because they don't see themselves as johnbees? I mean it seems easy to see others being total dicks (haha) but not realizing that you're one of them. But in reality, everybody feels like the main character of the story. Wouldn't it be a nice wake up call to see e.g. Slick as a johnbee? Just a thought.

The sad fact is that many people rationalize small things they do as somehow clearing them of greater responsibility. They feel because they do some token gesture that it legitimizes broader offenses as simply 'not racist/etc' because they did or said something marginally nice for someone within the questioned group

I think this is paraphrased from Rock Paper Cynic, "You are no less racist for dating Asian, than I am less sexist for dating a woman."
