At Your Orders, Madame
Where do I sign up for this to become my life?
Toast, I love you, but the ironic misandry brings me down.
Nobody said it was ironic.
i love you
But why?
LOLOLOL then how can you possibly love us, as that has been part of our intrinsic nature since day one
(Also, I am not just tired but British. Knackered = slang for tired, worn out.)
Okay but it has the opposite effect on me and I have an avatar uploaded, so I think we know whose opinion is the correct one here.
Should Ladies Behave?
I vote no.
Day-Time Wife
Ah yes, the prequel to the much loved, “Attic Wife”.
The Wide Sargasso Sea to Jane Eyre?
So…any of these on Netflix?
“Forty Naughty Girls” is a Hildegarde Withers mystery and if you like tough-minded spinster schoolteachers and their platonic cop friends solving crimes in Depression-era New York you should run, not walk, to check the DVD set (The Hildegarde Withers Mysteries) out of the library.
And if you don’t like those things you should do some serious soul-searching.
This is delightul, and I feel like I have definitely watched some of these on TCM….
I think I’d like to cobble a bunch of these together into a lifetime that looks something like this (part actual personal history, part hoped-for future):
0-9: Bringing Up Father
10-19: Dumb Dicks
20-29: Women Who Work
30-39: The Model Husband
40-49: She’s Got Everything
50-59: She (Who Must Be Obeyed)
60-69: The Meanest Gal in Town
70+: Granny Had No Worries
Is “the League of Frightened Gentlemen ” about the early days of the MRA movement?
What, No Men! sounds like it should be a slogan for Oops! All Ladies!

And talk about both misandry and the male disposability:
The Restless Sex (1920)
Stephanie, the adopted daughter of Jim Cleland, becomes a restless spirit upon the death of her foster father and the concomitant departure of his son Jim, whom Stephanie has grown to love. Jim travels to Europe to complete his studies, and Stephanie is left in the care of attorney Grismer, the executor of Cleland’s estate. Constantly in the presence of Grismer’s son Oswald, Stephanie develops an affection for the boy, and one night, after circumstances force the two of them to spend the night in a roadhouse, Stephanie’s reputation is so compromised that they decide to marry. After the ceremony, Stephanie realizes that she does not love her husband, and the two of them live apart. Jim returns from Europe, and Oswald, realizing Stephanie’s great love for her foster brother, commits suicide so that Stephanie can marry the man she loves.
“She (Who Must Be Obeyed)” is the title I ultimately want in life.

It makes me wistful. (If my aunt had had the power of attorney instead of my uncle, the story might have been dull and boring but it wouldn't have been, as my mom puts it, "Regan and Goneril as played by Larry and Curly.")
Regan and Goneril as played by Larry and Curly! Bless your mother.
My mother is the inventor of all clever remarks. I am merely her vicar. 🙂

That is classic!
Madame Satã is also the name of an awesome Brazilian movie about the eponymous black drag queen of the 1930s.
And if you don't like those things you should do some serious soul-searching.
I cannot believe these are all real. Are these all real? Tell me they are.
