What I do in traffic sometimes

I turn on the radio and listen to a song and think about how so much of the music I grew up listening to centered on a male fantasy of what a woman wants / thinks about...

(as opposed to what a woman actually wants / thinks about)

This reminded me of that...

"Whereas male journalists in movies work by using their malicious minds (Kirk Douglas in Ace in the Hole, Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler) or unimpeachable morality (Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman in All the President’s Men, George Clooney and David Strathairn in Good Night and Good Luck), their female counterparts use a part of their anatomy that has nothing to do with their brain. Sometimes they do it to get a story, sometimes it just happens because, well, that’s what it’s like being a female journalist: you go to the office and, next thing you know, your knickers are around your ankles."

"... in Three Kings, Cathy (Judy Greer) trades sex for stories with Clooney – which, to be fair, is an experience all female journalists have had..."

HAHAHAHA
