The Highwaymen (2019)

By -
#Movies ~ The Highwaymen  (2019). I looked at the movie header. Two men. Seriously? OK but it's Kevin Costner. Love him. Skipped watching it a few times. Eventually, this morning I started. You know how they ALWAYS  have to have that scene where the man is going to go out and change the world, big VDay speech, big dragon slaying, big moon landing. There's the woman, "Errh, my dinner's getting cold. Errh, but you said you would be home more, you promised. Errh, I have pilates on Tuesday and who will pick up the children." 

 *eyeroll*. In this movie, she said a list of things she WOULDN'T say and then said, "But I'm not going to say any of those things, I knew who you were when I married you." Then she goes off to serve the party punch. Woohoo! Headway! Small shift, but let's get out the champagne!  

 Ironically the movie has Bonnie and Clyde in it, and back in the day, Faye Dunaway played Bonnie. In those the days, the Highwaymen had woman-equal-sidekicks. In fact, Dunaway was often the equal of the lead. 


And... stunning writing, acting, cinematography and editing. Sjoe. I am only 15 minutes in.

On being fat

In my case, firstly....My sister used to parade herself half-naked in front of guys I brought home. Probably not intentionally, she wears really tiny clothes. Of course the guys would drop me like a hot potato! Boing! Eventually I thought to myself, what a brilliant test of the guy - so I brought them home on the first date! My girlfriend passed the test. Secondly...I also realise that I would have to lead a life of severe deprivation to get and keep a society-envisaged weight. I would have to do mind-vacating exercise almost all day long. I am WAY not going to do that. That would make me unhappy. I am prepared to lose some weight, do some exercise. Become normal like I used to be (what other people call fat), maybe ten or so kgs more. That's normal for me. But I don't kid myself about being thin. Oprah gets up at 5, she does 4 hours of exercise during the day that include 300 situps - she has a personal chef cooking nutritious delicious food for her wherever she goes. She go...

Review of 'Feminism's Dependency Trap' on Quillette

Quillette:  https://quillette.com/2018/12/20/feminisms-dependency-trap/ I don't agree with this article. The article is written by a woman raising issues about how feminists define themselves in the negative against their issues with men and saying that's a problem.  That is how the world changes its ideas. Oh gosh, I hate the capitalism stuff - it's greedy, it prevents creative solutions, it tends to the lowest common denominator... What would world look like without it? People would would work because they want to, they would be paid within an equity scale. That is how ideas happen. They examine what is wrong with the world and come up with alternate ideas. And the people with power and things to lose resist the ideas and the changes. And then there's a revolution.  I don't think the author understands the process of world change.  She sneers at women driving cars their fathers bought and receiving education from the pockets of their fathers' ...
