A very brief love affair

[dreamer_easy]

Pick up Cynthia Heimel's If You Can't Live Without Me, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?. Collection of amusing magazine columns. Flip randomly to brilliant essay calling for female anti-heroes in film ("I want to see women who are rowdy and difficult... who are prey to lust and confusion and unbelievable fuck-ups..."). Experience delight and inspiration. Consider purchase. Turn to introduction which claims women scared of feminism because of media love affair with "Andrea-Dworkin type feminists" who believe "all penetration is rape". Savvy journalist has fallen for anti-feminist journalist bogeywoman. Pocket money, reshelve book. Point LJ readers to Snopes debunking of "all sex is rape" canard.

After reading the Snopes thingy, I was reminded of this wonderful exchange from the movie Shirley Valentine...

"All men are rapists."
"Even the Pope?"
"Especially the Pope!"

(And then I wander off to snicker at the thought of the Ford Clitoris...)
