Yesterday included the first of many Regal Cinemas Summer Movie Express showings that Molly and I will be attending this summer. Tuesday and Wednesday, 10:00, some flick that's already on DVD for $1. We chose to see "Ice Age: Continental Drift" which SO FAILED the Bechdel Test! It made me all squirmy and ashamed that I was taking my daughter to it :( Female characters were only there to either love the man, or talk about how they love the man. I could almost see the message saturating itself in to Molly's subconscious, "Oh so when I get older everything I do will be about trying to get a boy to love me! Got it! I'll have no identity of my own! HOORAY!"

Little things every day make me realize just how extremely lucky I am to be an overweight, white, borderline-poverty level, American, heterosexual, middle-aged man. I have the easiest, most care-free kind of life that anyone on this planet can possibly have.

I need to get to some of those movies. Maybe we can do a team up.

I don't think we ever have to worry about Molly not having her own identity. She has always been her own little person

I'm so glad to see a dad aware of these issues. Good for you!

So, if you didn't know this already, avoid Oz the Great and Powerful; I felt bad that my 8-year-old girl went to that one with me...

Don't dis the China Girl...she was the smartest one in the whole movie. A few re-runs of Mulan and Brave will counter the IA: CD. At least Molly can get some positives from the Ice Age series. Friendly co-operation between disparate groups can lead to longer lives.

And just think, in the Victorian Age, you would be just about at the end of your life-cycle. Average lifespan for a middle class or lower male was 45. It's a pretty good time to be alive in the US right now.

Just think of the fun to be had!
