Admittedly I haven't seen Blade 3, but I want to see him move, and I want to hear him snark extemporaneously. I heard he got to do both in Blade 3. I need to check my Netflix queue, and I need to see if I feel up to hitting the mailbox.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's interesting and not jumbled at all Jesse.

I think it's a sensible perspective, Jesse.

Can I make a suggestion or would that be all @@?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Thanks, you guys (even Concusso-Girl), and I would love a suggestion. Especially one from someone who can actually do this kind of thing well.

Oh goody!
Okay. I think to illustrate your points, you could pick a film or book from each decade (or era) that illustrates the particular societal pressure at the time. If you can find two conflicting films/books from each decade (or era), all the better. I think when you look at popular film in given times, you can get a decent picture of the undercurrent societal pressures. You could do it with iconic heroines of each given time.
I just like illustrating those sorts of points which can become soapboxy with either humor, or something outside the expected box.
ETA: Unless that's totally outside the parameters of the paper. In which case, I shut up now.

Oh man, that would be super interesting. Sadly, I'm both almost out of time (have to be done in a couple of hours) and out of space to talk (it can't be more than 650 words, and I have that already). But I will see if I can't punch it up some.

Actually, Allyson, could I email you my draft?
