Black Panther was so good. Loved the women in strong roles and loved that women were in charge of science, tech, and invention. I kept thinking, “how cool that little girls will see this movie and see themselves in this way!” The next generation of girls growing up post-me too movement are gonna be awesome. I can’t…

9 years ago I had all sorts of beliefs I’d be ashamed of today. I was a strong evangelical liberal Christian who grew up Baptist. With that came beliefs such as:

Add this to the SNL Deep Thoughts line up:

There is a cultural shift now. Women are no longer negligible. But some people still think in the old way... the focus is still on men rather than shared focus and value on men and women.

I’m sorry to hear that happened to you. Good point. We need more women to make movies for women and everyone.

He was arrested for acting crazy at the White House, made to give up his weapons after the arrest, but they gave the weapons back to his father??????
