Fortunately when ghost birds came out, I used my superior male ghost-vanquishing powers to subdue them, purifying the birdbath and turning it into a normal birdbath, which I carried to the garden and installed, using my muscles.

It's almost as if he is using the liquor, cigarettes, leather jackes, and novelty human skulls as props in a failed effort to reassure himself and others of his masculinity. He could also be using them as props in an attempt to cosplay as an 80's movie villain who is secretly a teetotaler, and if so he is succeeding beautifully.

      Dave also seems to have a fundamental misunderstanding of combat and fighting in the way he just casually dismissed Black Widow (who mostly uses judo and BJJ which are designed to work AROUND brute force) or strong women in general. It goes without saying that writing a shitty movie with shallow themes of social justice or empowerment to a minority for a easy profit is bad. But to dismiss women as incapable of fighting competently is such a disrespect to fighters. It underplays the strength that each discipline builds through strenuous work. Even women Muay Thai fighters are expected to chop down trees with their legs. Davis does not have the balls to step into the Octagon with anyone, especially not a Rose Namajunas or a Holly Holm.

      Yeah this shit is pretty funny to watch as a 125lb woman who is not a professional athlete of any kind and is stronger than most men. (Not to mention started my own business and work a physically dangerous job lol).
      Even looking at pure physical strength (combat skill is dependent on many additional factors), most men don't weight train, and most people, regardless of sex, can double or treble their untrained muscle strength in only a year or two of training. Most of the difference in strength comes from size- a guy who's stronger than 95% of women the same weight as him would be stronger than 80% of men that weight.

      What no they are Characters in a movie that hunt ghosts, not maidservants/manservants.
      The reason The Ghostbusters reboot failed was not because the actors were women, but that they were women...
      Woman who didn't put effort and care into a movie that didn't give effort or care. The movie was made to make money, and only that, not entertain or tell a good story, but money pure and simple. The actors are decent and could be good but the roles they played were stale boring and stiff, Personally I know much about the actors but the roles were forced, and the actors didn't seem too into it, or allowed be give their own charisma. Melissa McCarthy for example seemed like she was working straight off of what some executive told the director.
      In the original ghostbusters other then Ernie Hudson who due to racist executives cutting his role, The cast was given a lot of room to be themselves and they really wanted to make a good, yet fun movie.
      The movie was meant to be fun, 2016 Ghostbusters was meant to play on the "feminine power", and make money, but it backfired.

      The movie flopped because it was a remake. People are tired of remakes, especially ones where you have a lot of expectations to meet. I mean, comedy legends Bill Murray and Dan Akyroyd both stared in it. A Ghostbusters reboot would most likely flop regardless of the genders of the cast members. TL;DR remakes are shit and gender doesn’t matter that much in comparison to how much people hate remakes.

      Purple was just a difficult colour to get ahold of so only the wealthiest and most powerful (i.e., royalty) had purple.

The most common artwork of the Strength card is a woman and a male lion. The lion walks alongside and below the woman's arm, this king of the jungle clearly subservient to the woman. The woman has not overpowered the lion, she has not hunted it down and throttled it into submission. She has simply calmed it. The lion submits to her calm character, to her discipline. And through all this, the card declares her "Strong".

Gathered food included plants, insects, small animals (squirrels, rats) & reptiles, inshore seafood (fish, crabs, clams). Probably everyone in the tribe did this. Have you ever seen a documentary in which an aboriginal man is scrounging around the landscape for food? The knowledge of where to find food was probably a critical survival skill for everyone.
      And while the menfolk were out in the wild, risking their lives in the hunt for big game, the womenfolk were out in the wild risking their lives to gather food.

It was fairly successful. She got a very large number of clients, including everything from small houses to large office buildings awaiting renovation.
    By now, you're probably wondering why I'm talking in the past tense. About a year and a half ago, my family got into a horrible car accident. We were hit in the driver side door. My mother was driving. To this day, she has a massive gash and permanent nerve damage in her leg. She can no longer work. She was planning in hiring someone and working with them, and eventually sending them out to go clean on their own, but she never had the chance. She built up a business only to have it torn down by chance and fate. The fact that this "man" is claiming that she was too weak to do any of that is deeply offensive and frankly straight-up repulsive.

      @@sourapplesuits5864 Ya know, it's entirely possible that his entire insecurity and issues are because he was raised by crappy parents, including his mother if she was around. People are not automatically good people just because they are a mom or dad. There is a lot of abusive terrible parents out there, moms too.
      A good mom is something I agree with can not be underestimated, but I also find it sexist to assume that dads aren't also strong people, especially single fathers who already feel like the world judges them because the kids don't have a mom, as well as the assumption that all mothers are good just because they are mothers.
      Him getting an asskicking is more than likely what caused him to be whom he is and his insecurity. There is a plethora of evidence that shows that spanking is just abuse and doesn't even work for the goal of correcting bad behavior, especially when used out of aggression. It's also illegal in many countries, but persists in the USA because of a completely mistranslated religious text "Spare the rod, spoil the child" when from what scholars who know Hebrew and understand the language in translation have said that sparing the rod meant guidance, not the literal rod to beat children with as so many seem to take it.
      What's shittier is people will read this and instinctually deny it because they were probably spanked and realizing that they were abused, even if its through good intent, IE the parent believes what they were doing was best, and it's how they were raised etc etc just perpetuates the cycle of abuse and in creating people like Davis.

    I read once where a professor said, about caveman times, that "If 5 men in the tribe went out and only 2 came back, life would go on. If 5 women went out and 2 came back, society would collapse." Just something to gnaw on while antifeminists go on a rant abt how men evolved to be better or whatever.

      @@itsyaboinadia Because in those times childbirth was a riskier thing than it is these days. If even one women was present in the tribe than the chances of it lasting were obviously better. If there were more women that meant more chances to have children, more children whether boy or girl equal more manpower, boys for hunting and girls for subsequent childbearing. Chances of death were pretty high then so as long as there were women there was at least some chance of continuity of the tribe. Women also contributed to child rearing and other chores also needed. It was pretty primitive because they were primitive. To bring that setup as the ultimate end goal of roles to today's society is laughable at best. It can't work because healthcare, education, opportunities and freedom have fundamentally changed the reasons why humans were like that back then.

      @@itsyaboinadia Though you should know newer studies have highlighted that the idea that only men provided for the tribe is not entirely accurate. Big game hunting only accounted for a small percentage of diet of primitive societies especially depending on their environment. Hunting animals such as deers without modern weaponary is exhausting and difficult and rarely meets the demand. Hunting more dangerous ones could cause death or injury, so small games such as fish, rabbits etc were eaten more, with which women could have also helped. Moreover fruits were available in many regions after the populations spread out. Keeping livestock also started especially in the east because milk of cow or goat could save from starvation and if the worst came the animal could be eaten. And well after farming was started men and women both worked in the field.

      I didn't know about the serum because I don't really read her stuff, but I did know she's been trained since girlhood apparently to be a special "super-soldier" type. But even more importantly, it doesn't matter, b/c comics are full of people without superpowers who survive fighting the Hulk or Darkseid or whoever. I mean, Batman has literally defeated Darkseid in animated form. Robin can fight giant hulking rock monsters and not die. Etc. The idea that male heroes are somehow more adept at stuff like that, with or without powers, is so ridiculous I can't believe the amount of male comic fans who are miffed by a female character doing similar. It's all pretend. Batman being male doesn't mean he should be able to do half the things he does. It's all make-believe. Real-world biology is out the window before Stan Lee is done declaring "Face front, True Believers!"

    Soooo....the 2016 Ghostbusters really sucked. It sucked hard. But not because they were women. In fact, the cast was great, and it was a cool spin to make an all-woman Ghostbusters. But it sucked because it wasn't funny. And the script was bad. And the dialogue was largely spontaneous instead of writing good jokes. And the overly-obvious use of product placement. That said, Paul Feig gave us Freaks and Geeks. So, even though he failed here, he is definitely talented.
