So apparently I will see All the Music Nerds of PAS tonight then.

Hard News: Moving right along?, in reply to Don Christie,
It’s a crock.
None taken.

My most recent black and white photo: a floating toy piglet in the loo. I feel like this says something very poignant about the plight of the stay-at-home parent. ;)

Hard News: Everybody's Machiavelli, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
I’m sorry to “trigger” your pain about her untimely death.
Is there a point at which you stop being rudely dismissive and patronising about theory with which you are clearly crushingly unfamiliar, or do we just continue like this ad infinitum? Because I've got all day.

Hard News: Everybody's Machiavelli, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
You know that Dworkin died in 2005, right? And doesn’t have much to do with the terms you’re talking about?
In other words, if you’re going to be all snarky about feminist theory it might be wise to, you know, have actually read some of it.

Aw. AW. I got kinda teary there at "In the Neighbourhood" myself. How lovely.
And since you mentioned the staging for Beyonce - I attended her show on Wednesday and HOLY CRAP. That was the absolute maddest bloody thing I've ever seen in my life. She changed costume about 748 times in an hour and a half! There were TWO short films in which she humourlessly referenced Marie Antoinette! A wind machine followed her everywhere she went in order to make her hair blow billowingly about! She showed HER OWN PEPSI AD to us before the show started! I spent most of the show laughing out loud at the wackiness and grandiosity. She isn't a recognisable human being anymore. Also, she is quite possibly the fittest person I've ever seen in my life in order to maintain that level of activity AND sing so beltingly. It's a pity that her solo catalogue doesn't actually contain that many great songs. Although this peppy 80s throwback is my current favourite:

Hard News: Everybody's Machiavelli, in reply to Steven Peters,
You were invisible to me as female, Ms/Mrs Hebe.
Hebe, I think you might have to start all your posts from now on with "as a woman..."
You know, just so no one gets confused and starts thinking about their content. ;)

Aw, no one ever invites me to the Lady Meetings women hold regularly to decide what we think collectively about any given issue. Perhaps my scones aren't up to scratch.

Ah, Craig, that *does* make me feel better.

But the argument against Dylan's "substantive point" is that sexual assault is *already normalised* as male behaviour by the culture we're currently in! It's like you're loudly asserting "hokey pokey ice cream is so awesome, I wish all you people wouldn't think it was so weird" at the National Hokey Pokey Ice Cream Convention, surrounded by hokey pokey ice cream enthusiasts.
