Re: Rant Response

Your post, though you danced all over the [n]ILF thing, wasn't so very misogynistic as, well, willfully sexist for the sake of humor? But I do think your post does press that button, and I don't think it's ultimately helpful for people to go on doing that without self-reflection. Insert some other, less-tolerated-today class of prejudice in there, and I bet it'll seem much less humorous, except to a much more limited audience.

But at least you didn't call her sexist names [er, excepting the [n]ILF thing], and the Wonder Woman reference was pure genius. Of course, Wonder Woman was supposed to be a symbol of forward-moving feminism. [pauses... blinks] Yeah, yeah, I know.

And if this thought experiment helped get you to write some more about the actual issues on which you are guiding your choice, then that's even better.
