We don't like how they were not allowed into fields in the past. So now we encourage people to know it's an option. You can't have hundreds of years of pigeon holing people based on gender and assume that if you stop everything will be even and you can ignore it. We're encouraging people to go outside the previous societal norms, but noone is being forced like the situation was in the past. 

Apologies for not getting this into the topic of Star Wars but I just couldn't possibly care less about that facet of this. 

We, don't like how they, have been dealing with that problem. That's part of the reason for this Disney situation and the thread.

We, the majority of us anyway, aren't disagreeing with them as to the goal. We are disagreeing as to the measures being used and applied for the fix.

We, also don't want what's coming, if that's not understood and straightened out, because it's just going to be another false "racist" slur situation, where the word and cause behind it get's ignored because it's constantly being applied incorrectly and in a manner that could very well set it back.

We, are not the enemy. We just want to be heard, and most importantly, actually understood. And if not, then left alone, in peace.

You agree with the idea of encouraging marginalized communities to go into careers that they previously were unable or at least heavily societally discouraged? Because honestly based on all your "the giver-esque, we should encourage people do what they do best versus what they would want to do" shit and your confidence that you can basically figure out who would be best for a job based on gender and sexuality it really sounded like you don't agree with that concept. 

If that's the case and all you disagree with is how Disney's making movies then I don't give a shit and you can just move on to continuing to talk about how Rey is a Mary Sue. 

I guess out of curiosity, what were your thoughts on fantastic four? because it seems like it should be right in the wheelhouse of those with these concerns with the happy family of a newborn pronatalism stuff going on.
