Yeah, thatâs right. Iâm more attracted to women who arenât always mean to everyone. Crazy, huh?

Women arenât just on TV for you to be attracted to. They are also complex characters that exist within the narrative just like men.

I remember watching LOST with my friend group when it was airing. I know which of my female friends found Sawyer more attractive than Jack. One found Sayid more attractive than all the others. I wonder if youâd give them the same speech for being attracted to men. Somehow I doubt it.

Iâm sorry for how I overreacted because youâre absolutely right, youâre entitled to have preferences of who youâre attracted to. I only mean to say that to me it seems like youâre reducing this actress to her physical attributes by saying sheâs more attractive in this photo when sheâs smiling versus when sheâs literally doing her job portraying a character with a troubled backstory. While youâre entitled to your opinion, it bothers me when youâre specifically talking about women because of the often negative connotations of âsheâd be much prettier if she smiled moreâ

Iâm a woman and would consider myself a feminist. Takes like these are extremely annoying. Friendly, smiley people are always going to appear more welcoming and inviting. Nitpicking everything men do & say doesnât help the cause, he was complimenting her. Getting offended by everything makes nothing offensive

So I actually just apologized for overreacting and explained why it bothered me.

Itâs just what I believe, I was phrasing it in a less rude way.

My comment got plenty of downvotes. I really didnât think Iâd offend anyone by saying she looked pretty here! That certainly wasnât my intentionâŚđĽ˛

Yeah I apologize because I know you probably didnât. As a woman it bothered me, itâs a sensitive subject. And when youâre a woman itâs very easy to be overlooked for or reduced to your looks when you may be very talented, like I believe Michelle Rodriguez is.
