feminism

[lyssie]

I was rambling about Sin City to Liz and then the cat.

There isn't, as far as I can remember, a single woman in Sin City that isn't, at some point, considered a sexual being. Either they're strippers, hookers, waitresses who put out to anyone, or just not seen.

And I don't have a problem with this.

And I've lost my train of thought. I think it had to do with the fact that, to me, the idea of Oldtown was fabulous. The hookers run it, and you better play by the rules or they will kick your ass.

I just... I guess I'm really a guy or something. *shrug*

(ps. winamp switching from War of the Worlds' "Brave New World" to Garbage's "Cherry Lips" is bad)

There is the parole officer, although she definitely falls into the category of a sexual being.

Oh! Yes. And she's a lesbian... (I heart Lucille, and loved the bit where Marv was talking about how fabulous women are, because they just need to get it out and then they're fine. *sigh*)

Just, please please don't take anyone under 14 to it.

I think it's the whole tacit approval of women as sexual beings with the right to fuck as they please and still be considered independant whole beings and ho-yay take pleasure in your intrinsic power over men. *benediction* Sorry about that run-on sentence.

*laughs* Yes, exactly. Sigh. Hrm. I think I'll paint my nails.

Gladys! Yes.

Gladys, Vera and Wynona need to have a gun convention.

There's the judge. She's not sexual at all. Just kinda scary.
