No, it's not. But as I said in an earlier reply, sex is a means to an end in this series, a means that is more readily accessible to women in a world where they have limited agency.

Yes, but sex is a big part. Specifically, sex and sexuality are used as a way to establish/further characterization and to manipulate control/power. The same can be said for the politics and violence, both of which are also convoluted and brutal. This is because the entire series - books and show alike - focus on this…

When my father was in college, he worked part-time as security for the university's basketball arena. It was a popular venue for tours back in the day. His most memorable experience was when he was asked to escort Dolly Parton to her trailer after her sound check so she could get ready for the show. And please note,…

Ah, but here is where one must rely on the stupidity of others not to notice. :D

I forgot everything else you wrote when I reached the end and learned your snake's name is Zuzu. It just tickled the hell out of me!

Thank you for reminding me that I haven't seen this movie in far too long. And thank YOU, Roy Scheider for giving the world this face.

That's what I mean. How does Ange-freakin-lina Jolie get a newb make-up artist? Or how does an event hosting A-list guests not vet every single one of their contactors? I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. It's just such a major-oversight.

You take your physics and your simple machines and shove them right in your ear!

But "salubrious" sounds smarter!

". . .and Angelina's makeup guy is about to get fired."

That was the worst of the worst. It's just the same refrain over and over.

YES! Not alone.

Our guy played Für Elise. Culture, Em-effers!

What are you even talking about?! Katy Perry *loves* gardening. She could watch people do it all day!

This is what my Nerd!Brain spit out: It's a total Thor scenario. Sollange found out she isn't actually Bey's sister and has an epic melt-down that no one quite understands. In the end, people will like Sollange more than Bey.

Pretty much. She can only be taken seriously if she has a masculine or unisex name. And they try to disguize it by making the name unconventional.

Truly, you are wise.

Women could aford to stay home. Even have a housekeeper/nanny maybe. If my job was to manage the household and prepare healthy food, it would be no problem.

If they were to ever re-make Jeeves and Wooster (Blasphemy, I know), BC would make a fantastic Bertie. I mean, he was Hugh Larie's son in "Forty Somthing". They are of the same cloth.

BC don't play.
