The Devil wears Prada

No.

Yes.

Wait a minute, I've forgotten what I'm trying to argue now.

It was something about golliwogs not being racist.

Please continue

Don't worry. A lot of men get tongue-tied in front of laydees.


They should make a hollywood film with a man like that as the main character.

The moral should be that some women have sufficienly low self-esteem that they daren't aim to attract the alpha males.


or something.

Oh yes, thanks.

Well, it's obvious they are not racist themselves, just the people who commissioned the illustrators to draw them.

I heard one say terrible things about the French

To advertise themselves to even more mistresses.

nah, although the base drive of wealth accumulation by males might be a desire to spread oats I'd argue that the attendant power of wealth and the pleasures it brings becomes something other than simple desire to be an oat spreader.

Unrelated but good Keynes quote:

The love of money as a possession-as distinguished from the love of money as a means to the enjoyments and realities of life-will be recognized for what it is, a somewhat disgusting morbidity, one of those semi-criminal, semi-pathological propensities which one hands over with a shudder to the specialists in mental disease

I agree with Dot. From what I've seen Bond Baddies have no interest in women, just world domination. I've only seen one of them anywhere near a pussy, and frankly he doesn't look like he has much of a clue what to do with it.

He sits it on his knee and strokes it. Sounds spot on to me

But then what? What's he getting out of it?

 

[fogbat]

But then what? What's he getting out of it?

Satisfaction at a job well done

 

[teuchter]

I agree with Dot.

That's because you're a woman and you've fallen into his trap.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Man that was one shit film.

What the fuck were those so called friends of that girl on about? What? She can't stay out late for her job without being a bitch? Shes changed? How did she change?

Fucking worst film ever.

Will he be wicked to me? Will he put me in a tower? Will a prince come and save me? Will I be able to sell my story to OK! magazine?

What, am I fucking Bluebeard now?

 

[quimcunx]

What, am I fucking Bluebeard now?

So you're not going to be wicked to me?

The Suplex talks sense. Again.

Whiney fucking boyfriend and lame mates; all too happy to get the freebies though

 

[girasol]

those friends were very strict indeed, and judgemental. with friends like those who needs parents?

 

[DotCommunist]

So you're not going to be wicked to me?

depends on the phase of the moon tbh

I'm not sure it is such a tough call. Trash books for men are like trash films for men. They portray strong virile males destroying evil/saving the world/going on rampage against baddies to save his daughter etc. All are essentially empowered roles, if somewhat narrow. Female trash fiction shows empowerment through what? conformity to male approval. The love of the Hero. The hero rarely earns that love, rather the female character conforms and her reward is the generic prince charming.

Oh I agree with that. But more generally speaking, the world would be a better place if we all made love, not war.
