What I think is most awful is all the negative backlash the movie (and actresses) got. What was with Time Out New York featuring them on the cover with duct tape over their mouths? That wasn't a gimmick they were in on. Was it a way to say "enough already! we don't want to talk about women anymore - females in the spotlight for too long make us squeamish"<BR/><BR/>And Hillary went down because next to Barack Obama she was a paper doll. She should have run against Bush - but she was garnering "experience" - phooey!!!<BR/><BR/>Pundits keep saying it is a testament to Obama that he defeated a "Clinton" - when in fact I think it is a testament to Clinton that she did as well as she did against the tsunami that is Obama - I chalk it up to the rest of the country not knowing him as well as us Illinoisans do. Those who voted for Hillary just didn't know any better. I won't hold it against them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4865764596112100655.post-76540794106521972042008-06-11T07:46:00.000-04:002008-06-11T07:46:00.000-04:00Ya, dude.

Feminism = being what you decide you should be, not being what somebody somewhere thinks you should be.<BR/><BR/>Having now seen it, S&C is a very, very, very good bad movie! It's like supermarket cake and I shoveled it in my mouth without shame.

You've convinced me to see it, now! Not ...Groovy! You've convinced me to see it, now! Not having cable, and only turning on my regular TV about once a year, I didn't have enough 'S&C' background to engender any interest in it. But a satire filled with great costumes, oh boy! I can't wait!<BR/><BR/>You are also dead on about Hillary. She lost, I think, by not being feminist <I>enough</I>--by not sticking to the courage of her convictions, and giving in to pandering. I personally lost respect for her in about 1993, when she started writing a syndicated cookie-baking column in response to Middle American outrage about her cookie-baking comment. It wasn't even well-written. I can't believe nobody else seems to remember that.<BR/><BR/>The Iraq war vote was a symptom of the same thing--giving people what they seemed to want, in this case a 'woman who isn't weak.' She knew she couldn't <I>stop</I> the march to war, so she positioned herself politically to come across as a tough guy. <BR/><BR/>The irony of it is, standing up to Bush & Co with the right kind of outspoken practical indignation would have made her look tougher than King Kong.Pretty Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342833918614545778noreply@blogger.com
