Advertising beautifully alerts to the desirability lots of things we probably don't need that much of in our lives. For its part, art also alerts us to the beauty and charm of bits of the world: but it tends to be the bits that we really do need for a fulfilled life.

O Yeah! Bring It On > Female Rage

Say What?
A New 'Battle of The Sexes' ?
When one obstacle to the perception of Mesa as a boring city is the lack of night life, late-night talk-show entertainment television is bringing some exciting welcome news to home-screens and social media circles:

How Feminist Rage Moved Samantha Bee To The Top Of Late-Night ...

The story was published in Forbes-on November 9, 2017

 

When Samantha Bee blazed her way into late-night TV, it was clear from the beginning that Full Frontal was a different show . . . she's not more popular and getting higher ratings than all the men on late-night entertainment. Following in the earlier appearances of female comedienne Joan Rivers whose tagline line was 'Grow Up!' Samantha Bee gets real - really outraged rightfully about men

If some readers of this blog happen to miss the reference to "Full Frontal" here's a YouTube clip from the 1997 movie The Full Monty about what a group of unemployed firemen did
Six unemployed men, inspired by a touring group of male strippers, decide they can make a small fortune by putting on a striptease show of their own - with one small difference. They intend to go the "full monty" and strip completely naked!

What's "grabbing the headlines" now is more than what Forbes calls Feminist Rage about this guy > Roy Moore, desperately running for a seat in the U.S. Senate from the great State of Alabama - the same state that gave us states' rights white-supremacist segregationist Governor George Wallace where Attorney General Robert Kennedy had to send in the feds and National Guard dogs to de-segregate the public schools over state-opposition to equal rights. The great state of Alabama also gave us marches by Martin Luther King in Selma and the marches for voting rights denied to the African-Americans. Today the state is fertile ground for a new "Battle of The Sexes" where woman are finally getting the courage and support to speak out loudly after staying silent for decades over unwanted conduct and bad behavior by bad men. Finally getting some respect.

On the national scale and across the entire workspace spectrum, sexual harassment on-the-job is a gathering rage for the men who abused their positions in power to exploit women . . . oh yes, the times are changing.
