Is the Boner Party backlash bullshit?

I posit yes. Ned Hepburn is “objectifying” women as much as any writer or director does: he writes beautiful fictions based on individuals, knowing full well that he is not accurately capturing their identities but using them as inspirations for flights of fancy. To accuse him otherwise is to unfairly demand that writers use only literal facts and remain tethered to the ground.

We all project onto our lovers. Boner Party does no more than that, and does it well.

  22. ninety9 answered: I might agree with your, but have you read ‘The Boner Also Rises?’ Not as good as ‘The Old Boner and the Sea’ but still strong stuff.
  23. sealyham answered: Nick sounds like an apologist for BP, while not realizing his description sounds like the very definition for objectification.
