(40,539 posts)I was surfing through the channels with the volume off & I saw Rice on TV. I thought, "What's this war criminal saying?" I only caught the last part of what she said, but it was about women & our culture, so I stayed tuned. It was about 20 minutes into the documentary, being shown on Oprah's network.
One of the telling scenes for me was when a female TV exec was asking around to start another woman's channel. Male network execs scoffed & said, "You ladies already have your own channel." Then the screen scrolled the names of all the sports/men type channels & it was mind boggling. The ladies have one channel, the men have dozens.
Male is the default.
Yeah, it's gonna piss you off. But it will be good, too. I can't wait to see it again.
Oh look, I know what I'm giving all my friends this year for the holidays:
