Re: 'Sigh'...A feminist review of Star Trek XII
I don't think you'd want to.
Why is it that, of the women I know that have seen the movie, only the two ugly ones find Uhura's character to be sexist? The rest has no problem with the miniskirt, nor the shared room scene. They were looking more at Pine and Quinto and enjoying it.
So what are you saying... that only ugly chicks are offeneded...because their ummmm ugly? First off I don't even think it's that deep that people are really "offended"...but the point is (and you're missing it) that this seems to be par for the course w/ broads in movies...I was hoping Trek would be an exception...but nope they had to have the strong female lead get "romantically" involved...ugh.....she can't just do her damn job and do it well...be a strong woman with all her clothes on and without this ridiculous romanic link.... PERIOD? I realize who's in charge and mostly running the show in H-wood and the world ...and that's men and that's also why this world is so screwed up...no offense to you guys because I really love men -- but it's the truth. So I get it that they want to include some sex in Trek and there has always been in TOS...but for fucks sake leave Uhura out of it!
I'm not saying anything; please read my post again: I was asking a question. The question was: Why is it, that of all the women
I know, only the ugly ones (in other words: those who themselves are unhappy with their looks) finds Uhura's character to be sexist?
From the others, I've heard more stuff like "I like the eyecandy; Pine and Quinto can stop by my house anytime! Mmmm.." and "I wear miniskirts too, you know, does that make me sexist?".
It's the same in real life: I like to walk a good 10 meters
behind my girlfriend sometimes, just to hear the comments (everybody talks behind one's back -- some are just more self-conscious about it). She's not unattractive, and the same applies: Of those who comment, those who look good and get enough attention themselves usually say something like "I like those shoes; gotta see where I can get those". Those who get no attention from the guys at all, are evidently more inclined to say something like "she dresses like a whore" or "what a bitch" or "i hate her". The first time I heard it, I was like... WTF
I never realized just how jealous women could be.
To me, it seems like those that are unhappy with their own self-image are unable to objectively look at -- and comment on -- someone who is.
Pike's attractive, Quinto's attractive and Zaldana's attractive. But that doesn't bother me.
I can always turn the question you asked me around: Why does every strong, attractive male lead in a movie has to have a romantic relationship? It's not as if Uhura did it all by herself; Spock joined in, you know. Why did Spock have to have a relationship? To make him more emotional? His script portrayed him as emotional enough, even without the relationship.
And yes, most Hollywood movies have at least one romantic relationship in them. But that's normal, you know, having a romantic relationship. People do that sometimes.
No, I don't mind the 'sexying up' of both Spock nor Uhura.
This review is ridiculous. In my opinion, some feminists are ridiculous. Looking good has never interfered with having a brain or being a strong person. And that counts for females as well as males, even though feminists often forget males exist as well.

now that's a joke but I'm also serious here cuz we all know that's the truth. 
. But he was no slacker...he knew his duty and that was to the Enterprise...his main woman!
