John Conner never had a REAL father and never will, he's being chased by a ROBOT from the future, so OF COURSE he can't have a normal life and normal father, it is under THESE circumstances the Terminator SEEMS like a better father.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6584387067222362803.post-1258520776711879672012-12-03T17:52:43.794-06:002012-12-03T17:52:43.794-06:00this is crazy! i have no idea who are you are but ...this is crazy! i have no idea who are you are but i'm currently writing an essay on a feminist critique of the original terminator and why it is my worst nightmare as a woman. it was really interesting to hear someone else thinking along the same lines even if it was about the 2nd movie. thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6584387067222362803.post-46622882297572496942009-05-13T13:57:00.000-05:002009-05-13T13:57:00.000-05:00interesting that our impulses are that aggressive/...interesting that our impulses are that aggressive/physical protecting is the man/father's job, and that the mother is being less motherly when she does that...<br /><br />akin to the backlash against career moms and stay at home dads?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
