I wrote about:

Alice Guy-Blaché’s silent film about the horrors of gender flipping, The Consequences of Feminism.

why Nocturnal Animals is a misogynist piece of crap.

At Quartz I wrote about

—Westworld, Sherlock, and how television is eager to prove it is smart art.

— Leigh Gilmore’s Tainted Witness and how not believing women got us Trump.

At Splice Today I wrote about

—Sherlock’s Molly Hooper and Trinity Syndrome.

—Elaine May’s incredibly painful The Heartbreak Kid.
