I would call that emotional rather than spiritual. Nothing supernatural happening.

But still a great story

Have read Red Son... great story, although I'm not sure it counts as it's not the "standard" Superman character.

I'll admit I haven't read All-Star, and I've heard good things.

Not really dead wrong but that was a great story. Others have not been so great.

I guess we kind of take it for granted how simple US history is comparatively...

A bunch of dudes came here on a boat, killed most of the brown people, and called themselves the USA. Great story.

Dammit! Right in the feel feels. Great story.

Being super pedantic, but I think what you're calling "prejudice" is actually "stereotype".

A stereotype is basically a view that because X is true of most members of Y, it's probably true of an individual in Y. The view itself might be accurate or inaccurate, and it can be positive or negative, i.e. all Asians are good at math, but also bad drivers,
all Irish are alcoholics, but also great story tellers, etc.

Prejudice does imply judgement. It's right there in the name... it literally means pre-judgement.

I don't see any story here at all. That's not to say there isn't one; the directors might have a great tale to tell, but right now this is a premise, not a story.

A great premise can lead to a great story, but it's far from guaranteed.

Aw, yay! Great story.

I must say, maybe the the procedure from now on to recover from an "unrecoverable" flat spin in that jet is this: let go of the controls and act as though you've ejected from the craft... That is amazing! Great story.

*WTF

How can you tease such a great story and then not tell it?!?

nice review.

I'd really recommend Telltales Walking Dead. It's simply a great story.

This video tells some great stories!

That's one hell of a great story he delivered!

Those are some great stories *quality

No need to apologize.

I just wanted to get that little bit out there.

There is so much misinformation about the nature of this shite.

I didn't want to put my little comment on the comment stream, because I didn't want to distract from the TOTALLY COOL story you shared.

So I snuck it over here, for those folks who read all comments.

I was sharing my bit for my own purposes, sneaky devil that I am. Sorry you thought I was sending a different message -- I totally DID NOT think that you were saying she deserved it.

I think there is something different for men being sexually harassed than there is for women, since you brought it up.

Speaking from experience, I am -- I keep saying that my first reaction was to slough off the assault against me as funny. It was amazing to watch myself descend into this ... quagmire... of sexual objectification within 15 minutes. To be seen as nothing other than a piece of female meat available for this tiny guy to rub against. To feel so invisible as a person was a double violation. Or something.

Women aren't praised for what we do, mostly -- we are praised for what we look like. And when you look at the variety of men and male body shapes that are presented on TV and in the movies, compared to women -- and the active nature of the men versus the passive nature of women presented -- and this is the toxic soup that all young girls grow up in.... To be reduced like that was just horrifying. I was surprised at my reaction.

Men have their own issues, of course. It is not for nothing that men tend to die sooner than women -- the pressures on them are terrible in their own way and it is literally killing them, in my opinion.

So it doesn't surprise me that you could laugh it off and let it stay laughed off. You are used to seeing yourself as active. While I laughed it off, and then got mired in this crappy sexual objectification that is so toxic.

It's all so ugly.

I'm so proud of your beautiful strong friend. She didn't deserve what happened to her, no woman does, and I know you know that. And dang if she didn't fight back with everything she had. That is how this shite stops. Make the bastards accountable. Right now they aren't.

Great story you told. Really great.
