Yeah, it's a pretty accurate portrayal of life in New York during that time period. People were that horrible and corrupt, and life really was that shitty. And people/ living conditions were even worse than that during the decades preceding the early 1900s.

Wow. My husband had a similar take — he'd had hopes for Gallinger's redemption that were dashed by the eugenics stuff.

I'm interested in your use of the term "hill country Texan". Are you familiar with that area, by chance??

@avclub-1898a4d76532f237d9b5c0592dfe71a9:disqus Wrong.  That's not the basic idea.  The asshole's misogynist statement fully implied that because Lena's looks render her worthless and therefore subject to scorn, she'd damn well better make up for it by being really funny.  Good God.  You're as obtuse as you are
