Re. "Supersmart": It's like you are IN MY BRAIN! Like Holly Hunter and William Hurt from Broadcast News! I've definitely had worse things in my brain. *g*
Seriously, I'd been wondering how I could talk about the way this vid made me feel -- bewildered and disappointed, and maybe a bit angry -- without sounding like I'm coming down on the people who loved the vid, had been in on this particular conversation, and for whom this vid was made. (I mean, clearly, not all vids are for all people.) But now you've said it better than any way I could so I don't have to. Yay!
I need to see actual women. I need women to be present in the text, as well as reshaping it.
