NEVER did I say that Emma's sexuality was all that she had to offer. In fact, if you go back to my posting, you will see that I mentioned her teaching experience. I am merely saying what I felt. And I felt that her appointment to headmistress was extremely sudden and was only done by Marvel because she is Cyclops' new girlfriend. She may have teaching experience, but that (I believe) did not at all factor into this decision. Do you see how that is different from saying that she has nothing to offer besides her sexual side?! By the way, did Jean ever express any desire to be headmistress anyway? I don't think she did.
I noticed, that you mentioned Emma's teaching experience, but you rejected it as being a reason for her position. You were saying:

A formulation like this neglects every other reason, thus qualification Emma has to offer, for her being headmistress, does it not?!
Btw...Ok, Jean never asked for a leading role. So Emma did and Charles gave it to her because she has sex with Scott? What was so sudden and surprising about her appointment anyway? The school was a mess, the Professor wanted to leave and someone had to take over. Who would have been more suited to do the job than a born leader for superbeings and a female teacher, who has loads of experience in administrating an institute and is the only telepath left in the team? I'd say, that the decision to make Emma headmistress was extremely logical
and it offered some potential for conflict, that could be used to flavour some stories in the comics.

And if being headmistress is about responsibility, then I'd have to say that I think Storm is very responsible...
1) I said responsibility AND qualification. Most of the X-Men are very responsible people, but does that alone make them suited to administer an educational institute?
2) I already agreed on the fact, that Storm is an excellent leader. She certainly has the responsibility and qualification to take over Scott's position, but certainly not Emma's, cause she is not a regular teacher and administrator.
3) Storm left! She didn't want to stay at the institute, so why are we talking about her?

And yes I know what you were trying to say about Jean and Cyclops. I am just saying what I think of Emma and that that is why I do not think that her coupling with Cyclops is a good idea.
Definitely your prerogative!

What's wrong with being promiscuous? Ummmm... People thinking that you are easy and therefore not respecting you? Possibly unwanted pregnancy? Sexually transmitted diseases and infections? The list goes on. I am not saying that sex is bad. But being promiscuous is never a good thing.
Remember what i said about it: "
Complicated it only gets, when you're not mature enough, your character's not steadfast enough, or someone gets involved, who doesn't share your sexual openness."
Only if your sexuality is the only thing that defines you, people will think that you are easy and will not respect you. And people that
choose to judge you
only by your sexuality, not wanting to see what else you are and have to offer, should be irrelevant anyway.
Unwanted pregnancy, transmitted diseases and infections are the results of an irresponsible and immature dealing with sexuality in general, not the inevitable consequences of being promiscous. When you use condoms and avoid looking for sex mates among drug addicted or violent people (just two examples), you will have no more problems with pregnancy and diseases than nonpromiscous people.
As a mature, single telepath, Emma will certainly have had no problems with her sex mates. And now, that she is in a relationship with a monogamous partner, she acts accordingly...very responsible i'd say.
Nonetheless, when your personal sexual moral code prohibits promiscous behaviour, i will respect that. I just hope you're not one of these persons judging people only by their sexuality in relation to their personal opinions, ignoring everything else about them.

It is clear that you love Emma Frost. But I do not. I find her a stereotype and uninteresting. But hey! To each their own, right?
Cheers.
I don't love Emma (i'm gay), i just find her interesting because there is
more to her than just the mask of the cold White Queen.
But just as you said! To each their own, right! 🙂
