Men buy, women sell, and also if women are sad you can feed them strawberries and get off on it. Got it. Now I understand HFT perfectly.

- francoisdevlin 14y agoIt's a firefly reference.
- caladri 14y agoThat much was obvious. When you build your examples around a sexist experience of sexist media, your examples will themselves end up sexist. I mean, why isn't Zoe buying, too? What is it that Inara's selling? I think we know, and from the heternormative misogyny rises the situation in which a cheeky description of market making has exclusively men buying and exclusively women selling.
- yummyfajitas 14y agoWhat is it that Inara's selling? Shares of Blue Sun. http://firefly.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Sun_Corporation http://firefly.wikia.com/wiki/Blue_Sun_Corporation I'll be sure to have Zoe and Book make an appearance in part 2. Sorry that my fanfic missed your favorite character.
- scott_s 14y agoFor the record, I made no connection between Inara's occupation on the show, and her "selling" in this example. I doubt Chris intended such a connection.
