		<description>I&#039;m confused, Colman. What do you mean by bringing up the example of gay-bashing? I understand homophobia to be rooted in misogyny, to be a reaction to men taking on a &quot;feminine&quot; role in sex. Gay men aren&#039;t perceived to be androgynous, but feminine. Of course I am not saying that gay men actually perform femininity. Some do, many do not - gay men&#039;s gender performance is across the spectrum, as is straight men&#039;s (and everyone else&#039;s). But gay men are stereotyped in this way.</description>

		<description>&quot;EVE, on the other hand, is slightly more gendered, subtly reinforcing the patriarchal notion that male is normal, female abnormal.&quot;

Unevidenced, and poorly reasoned assertion. In some sort of &quot;true&quot; patriarchy, Wall-E would be the abnormality, as he is less gendered than the more &quot;normally&quot; gendered EVE.
It would seem that in a patriarchy, to be less gendered or classifiable is to be abnormal. See: &quot;gay-bashing&quot;

Your assertion doesn&#039;t square with this.

Also, thanks for being the ass-hole, Neville, by employing personal attack rather than evidence and reasoned logic. Great way to represent men.</description>

		<description>Lady, you are so full of shit, it &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; funny.

WALL*E is a movie that conveys a environmental message that all should like. Instead, you&#039;ve decided to act like the typical antitechnological asshole that exists on the &#039;Net and everywhere else. Plus, you &lt;i&gt;still&lt;/i&gt; have to bring in critiques about the gender of the characters, like a lemming going off of a cliff, or a religious leader stuck in a miasma of dogma.

It seem to me that you think that you can do better than Disney. So why don&#039;t you get off of your ass and make it happen, then? Why not try to write a script that you think is better than this movie? (And please don&#039;t give me that bullshit about how The Man doesn&#039;t let voices like yours in-that excuse is too old for words.)</description>
