I think it's quite feminist. And quite correct.

*applauds you*

*takes a bow*
I was completely enraged for hours. Got in a minor spat with the Boy, who said that since the Sacrament of Marriage had been present, they couldn't legitimately separate.

IT'S AN UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIP. *headdesk* They should totally split up.

Oh LoRD. *eyeroll* I could rant, but I'd be serenading the choir.

*grins at you*

Amen, sister. I have complained about him and his fervent Catholicism many a time.
*grins ruefully back*

Wonderful icon for this!

*pokes you* I really, *really* wish we could IM each other. You amuse me so much and are so amazingly cool.

*blinks* But it's powerful because she walks out on him. I mean, I'll grant you that I'm a terrible philistine who has never actually seen the play, but eeh? No way that she should have stayed. Why oh why did he write that alternate ending?

katarik January 29 2006, 20:11:51 UTC

Yes. Yes, I know.

Because he ended up being made to. Was *furious* about it, because he said that if she stayed it would ruin the whole play.

Hello, you!
Go play at tt_slash, yes? Much pretty things there, although alas the Old Guard appears to have mostly abandonded the place.

Tre says your Yahoo isn't working, so...I shall glomp you here!

*glomps you back* Hello, dear!

Wow, that is an unhealthy realtionship, and shut up about the Seto and Pernia thing because I know you would comment about it, Anyways, I posted a link to an article on Christian Witch and I will probably work on my own article this week. Since you are probably still wondering about how I can combine Catholism and Wiccanism, is Wiccanism even a word?

katarik January 30 2006, 08:32:13 UTC

I didn't say a *word* about Seto and Pernia.
I just thought it. *smirks*

Yes, I am still wondering, and no, I don't think it is.

nikki_firekitty January 30 2006, 09:06:12 UTC

Which is why I told you to shut up about it in the first place. Because knowing you, if you did het, you probably would have written an essay between the characters in the play and Seto and Pernia.

I will start workin on that soon. I thought so I just didn't know what else to say in that situation

katarik January 30 2006, 15:32:34 UTC

I would not, either.

Very well said, and feminist. :)

Come to think of it...
"Before the fight, she was his wife and nothing else. After the fight, she's the one who can make him grovel."
I can make him beg for sex! That's SO feminist!
Ahem.

But she's still nothing of her own.
I think that's one of the main complaints one can have/still has about female characters. Unfortunately, I'm not able to put this into words, it's more a... feeling, and some vague associations. Sorry.

So, I'll just say it again: WORD.

katarik January 30 2006, 08:34:59 UTC

W00t!

I firmly hold to my belief that she is going to be extremely provocative and then refuse to sleep with him. Just because she can.
Because she's emotionally, like, *fifteen*. And it's not like she's totally the innocent victim here, but... dude, man. You two need to split up pronto.
