As a comicGeek,I so want 2 love this prom picture.But it's so grossly unaware of how sexist it is that I just can't.pic.twitter.com/n0H4Ni13Mg

@davidscottjaffe what negative stereotypes is it portraying?
.@MShaneman The men as heroes, the women as subserviant. Not a single female hero. The men serious/in thought, the women only all smiles.

@davidscottjaffe@MShaneman wearing a pretty dress is subservient? What? -
@9naleiD@MShaneman Are you daft?!? Who said wearing a pretty dress is subservient?!? -
@davidscottjaffe@MShaneman so if they wore female hero outfits in this prom picture only then it is not sexist? -
@davidscottjaffe@MShaneman also, you were the one who said subservient. Heaven forbid a woman wearing a dress jfcpic.twitter.com/rQ6zmCWccZ

@9naleiD@MShaneman Yeah but not because of a dress! -
@davidscottjaffe@MShaneman I get that: its not what they are doing, its what they aren't doing, but how is it sexist? Seems reaching to me -
@9naleiD@MShaneman The word reaching implies I WANT to find something wrong. I don't. Just how I feel. -
@davidscottjaffe@MShaneman with respect, I disagree that it is a sexist image. That's like, your opinion man - 1 more reply

@davidscottjaffe Hmm. I don't see them on their knees. We can't see their fronts, so it's an assumption they're not heroines too. -
@MShaneman You think if the women had prom dresses with Super Hero logos they'd not have them in the pic too? Seems like a valid assumption. -
@davidscottjaffe I think making many judgments and inferences off of a single photo is foolhardy and assumptive. You may be right, maybe not -
@MShaneman That may be but that's the pic that was picked to run as the headline on a mainstream media web site. Safe2assume the folks who

@davidscottjaffe@MShaneman male heroes yes. But it is *you* who is projecting subservience on the women. Not the picture. -
@VoxLudiator@MShaneman it is what I see. You saying u don't view life theu ur own filter? Why is ur filter the right one? -
@davidscottjaffe@MShaneman you are the making the judgemental claim of sexism... why is your filter the "right" one? -
@VoxLudiator@MShaneman it may not be. But I'm willing to discuss it before tearing into people and being a dick. -
@davidscottjaffe@VoxLudiator@MShaneman he says, defending his decision to tear into some kids and calling them dicks -
@dugspate@davidscottjaffe@MShaneman lol... precisely

@davidscottjaffe don't take offense on my account, I'm a big girl & would be offended without your help, if I wanted to. Which I don't. -
.
@StillEveryPenny People assumed I was defending women. I wasn't. Something being sexist hurts women and men. -
@davidscottjaffe you read too much into it, really. What the photo shows is called liberty, & it doesn't wear a social justice costume -
@StillEveryPenny I would defend the rights of these kids to take this photo till the day I die. But I can still think it's sexist. Rite? - 3 more replies
