So in My Graphic Novel Class at Cal State Fullerton we discussed Feminism, Joss Whedon and Astonishing X-Men. At the start of class, my professor showed us this video.
We also read Astonishing X-Men: Gifted. I forgot how great this book was, and how much i loved it.
but THIS Video… i think i am a little bit in love with him.
favorite Quotes:
“Recognizing someone else’s power does not mean you are diminishing your own.” (Joss Whedon)
Why do you write these strong female characters: Because you are still asking me that question.(Joss Whedon)
“Equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who’s confronted with it. We need equality. Kinda now.” (Joss Whedon)
it gave me chills… i maybe just a little in love with this man… (actual discussion about this class will come later… i just needed to get this video out).
