Also, the post on "Overthinking It" made me want to chain the author to a chair and force her to watch old movies (which have *such* nuanced, complex, riveting portrayals of women. Who also get a bigger proportion of screen time and are played by acresses more likely to be top-billed.) There was someone who needed some Davis, Stanwyck, Ginger, Jean Arthur, Myrna Loy, hell, Judy Garland!
