I am taking issue with you individualist analysis of the film, and I see your individualist analysis of the film as _why_ you think it appropriate to call women bimbos. and that's regardless as to whether they wear see through clothes or don't strike you as particularly intelligent.<br> </blockquote> <blockquote type="cite" cite>Which is what the crits of you were about: calling women bimbos because of what they wear is not only moralizing horeshit, but an individualist analysis of one form of oppression in these here uuuunited states of amereeekkka.</blockquote> <div><br> <br> </div> <div>What you chose to focus on is what they wear. My commentary did not mention one word about it.  And what people wear is often the result of a sexist society in which they live which I have also stated on another post.  Hence the "affirmative action" post of Dougs. </div> <div><br></div> <div>to repeat myself:</div> <div><br></div> <div>Hollywood USES volumptous eat me up bodies to sell tickets.  What I said and what Seay explained was that to show a "withered" leg was contra Hollywood.  It is contra conditioning for actors like Hayek too. Hence the Joan Collins quote :</div> <div><br></div> <div><font size="+1">"<font color="#000000">Joan Collins characterized Lewis as making himself "ugly in every way." Why would the handsome Lewis want to do that, Collins wondered.</font>"</font></div> <blockquote type="cite" cite><br></blockquote> <div><br></div> <div>What I said that it would have been revolutionary to flaunt the real Kahlo leg not Salma's typically Hollywood leg.</div> <div><br></div> <div>People are on the verge of having their Medicaid cut here in CA and when I said that I do not have time for any more of this you took it personally.   It is because there are more important things to do with my time which is already limited by pain and the inability to sit for periods of time.</div> <div><br></div> <div>You don't show much respect for others Kelley, you prejudge what you don't know. So go ahead with these silly posts as long as you wish but I am done here.</div> <div><br></div> <div>You are wasting my time. </div> <div><br></div> <div>Marta</div> <div><br></div> <x-sigsep><pre>-- </pre></x-sigsep> </body> </html>
