    Do we really need to discuss Joss Whedon cheating on his wife as a feminist/gender equality issue? It really isn't one.

        Covertly breaking the rules of your relationship makes you a dishonest & disloyal partner. That is a bad thing to be.

        It says nothing about your commitment to gender equality. Unless you think its OK for one sex to do that but not the other.

        I think the issue has more to do w/using his feminist identity to exploit women. Get them to lower their guard. Did he do this? Don't know.

        I won't hurt you or manipulate you for sex. I'm one of the good guys. I'm a feminist. You can trust me.

        Correct but it's perfect example of hypocrisy & continues the trend of the most vocal holier than thou male feminists being secret scumbags.

        Did he preach a lot about the importance of fidelity? I've not been paying attention.

        Preached respecting women & called out men for being sexist womanizers etc while taking advantage of young fans/actresses for 15 years.

        I think you can respect women and have sex with a lot of them at the same time.

        So do i. But while married & not telling wife? With younger women who you may have some power over? While preaching you're holier than thou?

        The cheating is the problem, yes. That's what I'm saying. Dishonesty. If he abused his position, that would also be a problem.

        Such a bad take, Helen. Joss Whedon, like other male feminists, pretends to be a valiant respecter of women. Cheating is opposite of respect

        It would be the same if a woman promulgated a reputation as a valiant respecter of men, but was a prolific cheater. It's hypocrisy, Helen.

        I don't think it is, necessarily. Cheating may be caused by disrespect of one man/woman not the whole sex.

        If one's entire persona is based on respecting women, yet one disrespects the single most important woman in one's life, that's hypocrisy.

        But you do see the difference between respecting a sex as equals and respecting every member of that sex?

        I certainly understand the intellectual maneuver you're making, but I don't agree with your conclusion.

        My conclusion on this is that if he bought into this conception of feminism, he can be judged by it. I don't personally tho.

        I understand. I think we agree on a large portion of the matter, at the very least. Have a good day! 😎
