Actually, what seems to have gotten several people (including myself) somewhat peeved is that Wendy seemed to be saying: "It is ridiculous to say that Deliverance is not sexist."
What I meant to say was, it is ridiculous not to say that Deliverance doesn't, for whatever reason, contain sexist elements and themes. And that it strikes me as disturbing that a story which does contain such themes continually makes the top-ten lists of intelligent, aware, female fans.
I also have some trouble with how she and Neil equal seeing Avon's good points to whitewashing Avon.
Can't speak for Neil, but it's not the seeing of Avon's good points I object to. It is the fact that some people persist in seeing/portraying him as having no bad points.
Seeing Blake display some "bad" behavior
sometimes comes as a definite relief to me.
Funny you should say that, cause one other thing I see a lot which I don't like is people who can't see Blake as other than bad.
But that's a whole nother thread :-).
