With ironic t-shirts and one liners in hand
He refuses to speak up and mumbles his lines
He is scrawny and weak and overly kind
And his girlfriend's so out of his league, it's obscene
Is Michael Cera the man of anyone's dreams?
But he likes to be known as the awkward young man... ♪

That would be like a gummi bear getting it on with the Velveteen Rabbit...

And you seem to believe that women aren't receiving real pleasure unless they submit to a dominant male with a six pack whose not afraid to beat up on you.
Are you at all self-aware of the gender sterotypes you are perpetuating?
This is a fucking awful post.

Brad, I'd let you spoon me.

I don't know if there's any truth to this but I once heard that after 'It Happened One Night' came out sales of sleeveless white undershirts soared because of Clark Gable's topless scene!

Too 'outsidery'

Here, I'll let Michel warm you up until I get back from caber toss:
"If repression has indeed been the fundamental link between power, knowledge, and sexuality since the classical age, it stands to reason that we will not be able to free ourselves from it except at a considerable cost."
"Power is not an institution, and not a structure; neither is it a certain strength we are endowed with; it is the name that one attributes to a complex strategical situation in a particular society."

I welcome all comparisons to Foucault, including his taste in men.

@Natasha VC:
That got me curious. He and Daniel Defert were together for 25 years in a "state of passion."

Oh they're great! I'd even submit RDJ! But you know, they're older men. Fathers and such, a bit too out of the range of fantasy. Say with Jake Gyllenhaal, in the Donnie Darko days, it wasn't totally unreasonable to day dream that you could maybe flirt your way into a drink with him at a bar if you happen to bump into him (I know, I know, play along). But Depp, Downey, Clooney are global stars so I find it harder to get hooked by them.

Those are the best girls! But not really a target demo, right?

This is what I am saying. Who knew I'd be nostalgic for an emotionally removed surly male?

Maybe it's the 'grass is greener thing'. I'm a goofy gal with tickets for Depeche Mode next month. It's not a niceness thing, though I'll admit men who a mean do get a smidge more of my time than they deserve (just a smidge) it's more like I want a Michael Cera with chest hair?

Geeky semi-androgynous males are who are writing and producing the films.
This is merely what happens when males of a certain demographic are divided into two categories by advertisers and media executives.
*the MMA-loving, balding, horny, beer-swilling, metalhead, libertarian, dick joke-loving Spike TV fan
*all other males (some kind of Leon Neyfakh/Hudson Morgan/Nick Confessore/everyone who writes for Gawker amalgam)
As someone who has been deep in both subcultures for the past 20 years, I am working on a project regarding this conflict. Leitch can't be the only person like me.
