Hey all,
For the time being, I'm going to just enjoy watching movies. I never get around to reviewing them, and I love them so much I never want it to become a chore. If you see a good one and want to chat about the portrayal of women in the, call me!

If I Were a Boy
I absolutely love this song, and I think the video is fascinating. It's not perfect (preeeettttyyyy sure it's partly an excuse to put Beyoncé in a sexy police officer uniform), but it for sure makes me think.
Not gender related, but I really hate the dialogue before and during the video. I think the song stands for itself - doesn't need to be interrupted.

"Dangerous" Heroines
Again, thanks to my wonderful friend Sarah, I have a couple of good articles to post.
First read this.
And then this.
And maybe then this.
Or just read this quote that sums up both the story and my reaction:
A piece in the Denver Post [suggests that] it might be dangerous to provide young girls with misleading images of women in action movies who are too capable of defending themselves physically. Because, you see, men as a rule are apparently perfectly capable of the physical feats performed by men in action movies. [Hold for massive eye-roll.]
