Duke U boycott and "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest": love it or hate it?

29. Saw the movie, didn't read the book

but I remember its insanity fairly well, and Nurse Ratchett has stuck in my mind and every once in a while I meet her. But not very often, thank goodness.

I thought it was an excellent movie as far as the actors were concerned. Spot on. This was so long ago that misogyny wasn't a hot topic then and I didn't know how common it was, but not so blatantly obvious as it was in the movie. Gees, none of us women think we're as bad as the author made us out to be.

Older and wiser, I see we live with misogyny all the time in subtler forms, except if a guy is a pro sports player who has no bounds and sees Ratchett in every woman who needs to be punished to escape any imagined control over him.

Thanks for reminding me of the cuckoos nest that hospital was.
