> I'm talking about the misogyny of the character named Mark Zuckerberg that Aaron Sorkin made up for the movie, not Zuckerberg himself, as I'm convinced the two are mostly unrelated. So all that said, the stuff movie-Zuckerberg does in the Facemash scene is blatantly and unambiguously misogynistic.
You and I both know it's a fictional character, but Sorkin is acting like it's not:
"These women--whether it's the girls who are happy to take their clothes off and dance for the boys or Eduardo's psycho-girlfriend are real. I mean REALLY real."
> What's bizarre about your post is that you didn't dispute any of those things. Instead, you presented an argument than women and men are equally petty and immature,
Yes. In the real world, yes. But Sorkin's pretending his movie isn't fiction. That's the problem - he's saying it's really real, I'm saying his movie and righteous indignation doesn't reflect reality very well.
- mlinsey 16y agoWell OK, if your argument really was "Sorkin created a fake caracter that acts really misogynist in order to make a political point about feminism that I disagree with", and not "what was shown in the movie wasn't misogyny, just college boys being equally immature as college girls are!", then I must say I am more than a little surprised, but tone is hard on the web, so I'll give you be benefit of the doubt.
