No, my post was not directed at the discussion between you and M. I do in fact read both of your LJ's as you are both my friends.

I have spent a fair amount of time throughout my life, defending comic books, from religious zealots, "high-brow's" who refused to see any art or even anything of value within them. I have heard feminist argue against them and more.

It is human nature to tear down others strengths and achievements to make up for our own lack of the same. I believe personally, (and we all know what opinions are worth) that if we were to really delve deeply into the world of "political correctness" we will find that same root of jealousy and self-doubt that has spawned so many of the worst things in humanity
