I had two Skype interviews today (for one-year Visiting Assistant Professor positions, blargh) and I want to keel over. But instead I’ll watch Iron Man 3 illegally and liveblog it.

They seem to be showing early Tony as less sexist than in the first movie. The woman he picks up in Bern is a scientist and he listens attentively and asks questions about her research before they have sex. “Iron Man 1” just showed him hooking up with ditzy fangirls and being condescending to a journalist before banging her.

Unfortunately that indicates Tony gets more sexist after like 2000 or whenever to 2008 instead of it being Tony being less sexist just in general. 

I think it means that he behaves differently toward women whose work he finds interesting.
