I would hope I could behave considerately in such a situation... thanks, I think your last paragraph shows an excellent grasp of the situation. As for the comments in the reply to my comment - I take your point that American TV has some sucky values (and I recognise some of what you said in British TV as well). That wasn't my argument - my argument was that not all feminists would agree with the value system depicted there. I just want to make that clear. I also take your point that the comments on feminism weren't the point of the post, but... they were still there. If I was writing something about, say, a movie I'd seen, and wrote something like "It was great - a real woman's movie, demonstrating values like gentleness and non-violent means of problem-solving (bet all the men in the audience were having heart attacks at the very idea!)" (Can't imagine why I'd write something so... weird, but there you go ^_^) I would expect to be called on it, because half my Flist are male. I know it's not a perfect analogy, as you don't know that someone on your Flist supports feminist ideologies, etc, but I hope you see my point.
