Ugh, I'm so stressed and angry about the state of the world and this attack on women's rights. The primary election here was extremely discouraging too. But we just have to keep fighting.
It seems like for all our existence, women have been treated as nothing more than a commodity. Not individual whole people with our own rights.
I do love…

I do love Fury Road too! Furiosa is a force to be reckoned with and she totally steals the entire show even from Mad Max. I also love how the strength of these women is most found in the way they work together.
I seriously need to watch Arrival. I've weirdly never been one for many of the older time period movies ... probably because being a woman in them so often sucks!
Oh god. I will never forgive myself if I ruined Arrival for you!
LOL Not at all! Actually now I'm even more motivated to see it because it sounds fascinating! Besides we're well past the statuette of limitations on spoilers. That movie has been out for ages.
Well, I hope you love it. Let me know either way.
