Best celebrity H'ween picture I've seen so far.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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?

Huh, well if that's the way things are going, does anyone want to help me write a two thousand word essay on palaeosols? It's due on Friday and I haven't started it. Or done any reading. Why must I leave everything to last minute? Why?
So, anyone? Anyone?
Bueller?

See, Jars, paleaosols are HARD. My thing is easy.
Incoming, Allyson.

Can I scribble on this Jesse? Or will that stress you out?
