"NO, I DON’T DISLIKE THE New GHOSTBUSTERS MOVIE BECAUSE I HATE WOMEN — IT’S BECAUSE I STRONGLY BELIEVE IN HOLLYWOOD FINANCE REFORM."


"The movie system is corrupt and I think we need to put our foot down, right now specifically in 2016, to put a stop to this new Ghostbusters movie as a signal that we’re done with all big hollywood blockbusters. And if you don’t agree with me, well, maybe you need to stop buying movie tickets with your vagina.
If you’re actually looking for an honest movie with integrity about ghosts, check out Abbott and Costello’s 1941 classic Hold That Ghost which, actually, does more for female movie leads than the new Ghostbusters movie ever will. No, there aren’t any female leads in the movie and the movie never really bothers to bring up any issues that would be of concern to female leads, but it’s also rarely voted against female lead issues, so… that’s even better than providing female leadership, in a way."

Another moment when they illustrated a problematic logic - passive tense one
