It happens a lot though when you've got a parent who feels so strongly about a subject (be it God, feminism, whatever) and the kids chafe under that fervor.<BR/><BR/>On a personal note, when I was in college studying English lit, I was often one of only a few guys in classes and they would routinely devolve into men-bashing quasi-feminist rambling diatribes. I can't tell you how many times I heard people like Andrea Dworkin praised, and phrases like "Dead Men Don't Rape" repeated. It was that hostile environment that actually prompted me to leave school for a while.<BR/><BR/>I get frustrated just thinking about those times.Maurice Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04049632867154577936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28402894.post-22600644862496881982008-06-12T10:01:00.000-04:002008-06-12T10:01:00.000-04:00Judge Judy and Jerry would both be fair game, thou...Judge Judy and Jerry would both be fair game, though... and what about good ol' Dr. Phil?<BR/><BR/>Or Dr. Laura!Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875686468126571113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28402894.post-80423089460955987352008-06-12T10:00:00.000-04:002008-06-12T10:00:00.000-04:00Oprah was a no-name until she got cast as Sofia in...Oprah was a no-name until she got cast as Sofia in Spielberg's film version of Color Purple.<BR/><BR/>She got nominated for an Academy Award and her career took off. ^__^Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875686468126571113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28402894.post-4225839470328803492008-06-12T09:44:00.000-04:002008-06-12T09:44:00.000-04:00I was just being flippant, Blue--hadn't really tho...I was just being flippant, Blue--hadn't really thought things through. I knew about Oprah producing Color Purple--but not that she had deeper ties to Spielberg and AW. Judge Judy then? I guess the big O is not even daytime tv anymore, is she? Or may be she'd engineer a reconciliation between them like she did for Tom Cruise and Brooke Shields? <BR/><BR/>(Did that happen at all or did i just imagine it? I ask because I woke up this morning in a panic because two undergrads were stealing my daughter in a tote bag and i needed to cut the bag with the switchblade that had materialized in my hand without hurting her--so i'm not feeling very present right now.)<BR/><BR/>I don't really think either Walker would go on Jerry Springer either...mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794350436930716096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28402894.post-42080764165580752062008-06-11T21:28:00.000-04:002008-06-11T21:28:00.000-04:00It's not going to be on Oprah.Seriously.Oprah owes...It's not going to be on Oprah.<BR/><BR/>Seriously.<BR/><BR/>Oprah owes a good deal of her career to Alice Walker (and Steven Spielberg). <BR/><BR/>Also she single-handedly produced <I>Color Purple: The Musical</I>.<BR/><BR/>No way would she invite that drama on her show. ^__^Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875686468126571113noreply@blogger.com
