I just saw this write-up on the Simon Pegg dust-up: http://storify.com/chloedykstra/simon-pegg-should-know-better
This perspective comes from a female cosplayer who thinks there was
nothing wrong with Pegg’s comments. “Actually, in my very controversial
opinion, you might be setting women back with this kind of stuff-
because people just get annoyed, build up a negative opinion of
feminists, and their arguments become less effective.”
