TheDartmouth.com: Sellers: Putting the “Girl” in “New Girl” - Opinion article about the Fox's TV show "New Girl" with Zooey Deschanel

Guys like me are attracted to Zooey Deschanel because she is physically attractive, period. It has nothing to do with any kind of bullshit "pedophilic" tendencies. And if she is so offended by this, why isn't she also writing about the hoards of grown women who practically throw their underwear at the screen every time a new Twilight movie comes out. And BTW, can you even begin to image the nuclear backlash that would occur if a man used the word "pedophilic" to describe those 40-something women who go nuts for twilight?!?!? My god, he would be the biggest radfem target to come along in 20 years.

As I started reading the article, I was thinking to myself "how is this a 'Men's Rights' article, does OP like or dislike the article?" When I got [about] half-way through the article, it hit me.

a tl;dr because the title doesn't adequately represent it: basically Zooey Deschanel reminds men of little girls so we like her because we're all pedophiles, right guys? Guys?

Men aren’t attracted to her because she physically resembles a child, but because she emotionally represents the non-threatening nature of a young girl.

We're supposed to be attracted to women who are threatening? The woman writing this piece wants to have her cake and eat it. She wants to be a male-challenging feminist and have this quality recognised as attractive to men.

I'll speak for myself - it doesn't work for me. I'm not attracted to someone romantically who sets herself against me or against men or who sees life as a competition between men and women.

You know i can't stand Fox for the life of me so i have no blood clue who this Zooey Deschanel is.

It's a sad paranoid world this woman seems to live in.

And man, Zooey Deschanel is fucking POWERFUL! all she apparently has to do is wear unrevealing clothes and bat her eyes and BAM! it's 1950 again!

All Hail Zooey, the Indie Overlord! er... Overlady?

Men aren't drawn to Jess because they're all pedophiles. Men are drawn to Jess because she is played by Zooey Deschanel.

Women can be anything they want... except the ways I don't like. Then they're 'girls' and you're a pedophile-esque misogynist for liking them. That seems just as stifling as the '50s imagery she's invoking.

Hilarious.

A woman, writing about another woman's sexuality again. This time she's not "womanly enough" and making judgements about what imaginary men think about her. Add in the "all men are pedos" trope and we've got a grade A piece of trash.

Women are their own greatest critics.
