quote of the morning

From Tiger Beatdown:

Desdemona [*] is not the person you want to bring into your "ladies cheat too" argument.

Truer words.

[*] ETA: from Othello, people.

I honestly read this first time through and thought "Why would desdenova be particularly relevant to this topic?"

It's interesting how some people believe the nasty things villainous male characters say about victimized female characters as if they're true. Prior to this, I thought the effect was limited to Dolores Haze. Most people know her by the name her molester gave her and genuinely believe his opinion of her as some kind of nympho child seductress, rather than a kid some bastard abused.

And now Desdemona is a cheater! Ugh. Cultural osmosis is an imperfect and misogynist little enterprise.

Also, thanks for the blog pointer. I'm allergic to the IM conversation-style posts, but the rest is great.
