New Question of the Moment. Riddle me this Batman:
Exploitive or not?
Coopting Question of the Moment
So I just came across this plot synopsis for Ms. Marvel:
Ms. Marvel joins the Avengers shortly before her solo series folded, but several months later is sidelined due to a surprise pregnancy. As shown in Avengers #200, her pregnancy progresses at an abnormal speed, and she gives birth to a son within weeks. Her son, Marcus, quickly grows to adulthood and reveals that he is from Limbo, a dimension outside of time and that he has fallen in love with Danvers. The story reveals that Marcus kidnapped Danvers during a previous mission and used mind-control devices to force her to fall in love with him. He seduced and impregnated her, transferred his essence into her womb, becoming his own son. After he makes this revelation to Danvers and the Avengers, she agrees to be his partner, and leaves the team to be with him.
My question of the Moment: What the balls?
Say what now?
Dave Sim, who wrote and drew 300 consecutive issues of the same comic book and is also sort of fucking crazy, has a blog. Recently he enumerated a sarcastic list of 14 things that feminists believe (Mr. Sim does not like feminists). The list is the usual same old, same old stuff you hear from Rush or my Uncle Harry but point five struck me.
A car with two steering wheels, two gas pedals and two brakes drives more efficiently than a car with one steering wheel, one gas pedal and one brake which is why marriage should always be an equal partnership.
If not sure how this metaphor is supposed to work. I get Sim’s point, that marriage (or at least some marriages) should not be equal partnerships. But I’m not sure how his metaphor is supposed to highlight his point. Of course a car with two steering wheels, two break petals (remember though that training cars have two break petals), and two accelerators won’t work. It would lead to a disastrous driving experience.
I guess, a good marriage is like driving a car? But how so? Maybe Mr. Sim believes that a good marriage is when the man drives and the woman sits in the passenger seat and shuts the fuck up and lets the man drive. Jesus Christ. Or if the man is lost she can, maybe, give him directions from a map. While smiling. Or maybe I’m just reading too much into it.
You know what the hell, I’m going to make this a new Question of the Moment…
Can anyone tell me what exactly the above metaphor is supposed to mean?
History repeating itself…
An obvious, but important (?) new Question of the Moment…
