My wife left an issue of Star open on the bathroom scale.
Kevin Bacon is angry with the producers of The Following
because the series is to end, apparently, with the murders of the female leads
but not of the Master Villain or, I guess, Bacon’s own character.
That dissimilar treatment of male and female characters in
the script is misogyny and sexism, according to him – according to Star.
So, the feminist Bacon denounces as sexist a story in which
horrific murderers led by a really
horrific male serial killer slaughter dozens of people including women in black
hats and white hats, alike, and then several of them, including that alpha male
whack job, are taken alive by police who also survive the hunt.
Well, Mr. Bacon, the prisons are full of violent males who
have brutally murdered numerous people, often women, taken alive by police who themselves
lived to enjoy retirement.
Reality has a liberal bias?
Mmm, I guess not.
Actually, I think the role of women on the cop side in the
show exaggerated and unrealistic.
But that’s just me.
