History of Feminism

and I no longer feel like there is a porcupine in my throat.

I am glad you wrote, because I keep thinking about the movie. It is such a classic Western, with just that one twist of having her be a woman, and that changes everything so profoundly. And even though they were very careful to make her killings "justifiable" in the terms of the classic Western, it was so disturbing and seemed so wrong.

There was, though, that vicarious revenge appeal, but even that was dark and very conflicting. I wonder if men watching classic westerns feel that same conflict, and I suspect not or they wouldn't be so popular.

And THEN, you think through her options, and there were none. She wasn't going to survive if those men were allowed to live. So why does it feel so wrong? I also can't imagine her story going forward. She's going to get caught by the Ed Harris character.

The more I think about it, the better a movie it seems to me. I think I'll have to watch it again.

Thanks again!
