Posted by: TFeeney on Apr 08, 23:59 in response to Prophecy's post Thank you for proving my point.

Polygraph: Analysis of Film Dialogue from 2,000 screenplays, Broken Down by Gender and Age Antibody Apr 08, 15:58

Hmmmmm. {nm} second gary Apr 08, 16:08

Oh. . . as in "interesting," and thanks for posting. {nm} second gary Apr 08, 16:09

Interesting indeed but... Prophecy Apr 08, 16:55

thanks for the mansplanation {nm} slipping jimmy Apr 08, 16:56

Thank you for proving my point. Prophecy Apr 08, 16:59

You've only proved that your point of view is sexist. {nm} Antibody Apr 08, 17:07

Please show me where my point is not accurate? Prophecy Apr 08, 17:10

Please show that it is. it's your opinion. {nm} Antibody Apr 08, 17:18

I did in my original post... Prophecy Apr 08, 17:27

Your original post was a bunch of sexist opinion. {nm} Antibody Apr 08, 17:28

Let's think of some compelling stories that can improve the gender dialogue equality {nm} Prophecy Apr 08, 17:36

your entire premise is false and sexist. every word. Your only "proof" is nameless screenwriters {nm} Moviesnob Apr 08, 17:18

"it is inherently known by all audiences that she will be taken care of by someone or something unless she belligerently refuses" {nm} slipping jimmy Apr 08, 17:26

Perfect! Give me an example of a female character where this isn't the case. {nm} Prophecy Apr 08, 17:30

the biggest movie of 2015 has a female protagonist that can and does save herself. In fact theres a scene where two men talk about saving Moviesnob Apr 08, 17:40

They had to orphan her and put her in a life of total galactic isolation and desolation surrounded by ugly aliens to suspend the disbelief.. Prophecy Apr 08, 18:08

I went with the example that included the biggest audience to disprove your assertion that "all audiences" think women cant save themselves Moviesnob Apr 08, 18:15

Where did I say women can't save themselves if they want to? You are moving away from the point irrationally. Prophecy Apr 08, 18:30

I see what happened here: you confused women with a flock of sparrows. {nm} numbersix_99 Apr 09, 04:21

You're still proving my point that something or someone will dive in to protect women thus lowering their stakes in compelling stories. {nm} Prophecy Apr 09, 11:34

Because someone disagrees with you does not prove your point {nm} JDolphin Apr 09, 13:45

It does if men blindly jump to the defense of women without logical discourse - thus proving my point. Lowering female stakes. Check mate. {nm} Prophecy Apr 09, 17:02

That only works if the people responding to you are all men, which they aren't. Thus proving you are the Ridiculous one. Game Over!! {nm} JDolphin Apr 09, 18:29

That explains it! Triple bonus points proven by me. {nm} Prophecy Apr 10, 12:57

I hope you drown. {nm} Biff68 Apr 08, 19:10

A veiled death threat! This is compelling from a story perspective. You wouldn't say that to a woman would you. {nm} Prophecy Apr 09, 11:37

eye opening stats no doubt, but I love so many films and I wouldn't want to change their structure... such as lobogotti Apr 08, 19:00

Heh. I like 10 Things I Hate About You too... Paul2k Apr 08, 19:34

ditto Paul! got to make time to meet up at some point. enjoy your posts on FB as well. you're a good man and lobogotti Apr 08, 19:46
