In fact, the new Buzz Lightyear toys have both Spanish and English phrases programmed in.
It passes the Bechdel Rule!
I don't get what the big deal about Bechdel is. I mean, I'm the only woman I know...the only one at work, or here, or in this movie we call Life.
And on the rare occasion when another woman shows up, IF I talk to her, it's only about guys. Or a guy.
I think people need to realize how hard it is to pick out which man is the "star" in order to talk about him. When you're the only woman, there's a lot of possible protagonists to talk about.
What an interesting perspective Raq. Thanks for that.
I'm the only woman I know...the only one at work, or here, or in this movie we call Life.
More than half the population is female. If 90% of the women in 90% of the movies still have to talk about less than 50% of the population, what's that about?

I don't understand this sentence. It's usually easy to pick out which man is the star. And his antagonist--it's usually one of the two that's being talked about, if not both.
When you're the only woman, there's a lot of possible protagonists to talk about.
And when we make up more than 50% of reality, how often are we the only woman? Just because you're solo, doesn't mean the rest of us are.
So I'm the only one who read Raq's post in sarcastic voice?
Oh. That makes more sense.
Still not seeing it as sarcastic. Does Vicodin affect the ability to perceive sarcasm?
This only-one-woman-at-most-in-a-given-location thing is tough, though. How can I dash next door to provide comic relief with sassy fashion advice and commiseration about boy troubles when all the other tenants in my building are straight men?
Oh, I took it at face value, because I rarely talk to other women, except here on the board.
I work in publishing, where there are far too many women.
