Thank you for the touch of sanity, Cal!  If you watch TV, you'll get
more of the sam, whatever you think you'll be seeing -- women's night
at the film wasn't likely to be any more enlightened than ladies night
at a strip bar.  Superficial, like a velvet hammer.
I especially liked/hated the defence of *Unforgiven* and women, which said
something about the plot depending on women to begin it.  I haven't seen
it, but I have seen the trailer about the woman getting sliced up very badly,
and assumed that to be the beginning of the plot.
If I'm wrong, PLEASE misinform me!
