The other F word (links to spoilers for the latest blockbuster movie and stuff)

Over at cleolinda's lj, there's been all kinds of discussion about The Avengers, specifically Loki's use of the word "quim" to describe Natasha, and Joss Whedon's supposed feminism and and words and intent and frankly I'm tired of the whole thing already.

Specifically, this one comment almost inspired me to participate:

I LOVE that movie, and that line

Snacky's comment over there made sense of it for me, which is the "proud of it" comment was an off-the-cuff wiseass remark in a pseudo-interview, in which case it reads as the first half of a "fake answer / real answer" type response. (The second half being "Hulk").

"Genuine but imperfect feminist is momentarily thoughtless" seems like a fair summary of the situation. (Though of course viewing through such a pragmatic lens doesn't inspire nearly as much discussion...)
