Might watch that Godzilla vs. Kong movie. Even though it looks like a brain dead popcorn flick.

I'm rooting for Kong just in case anybody is wondering. The Godzilla monster looks stupid.. and I've never watched a Godzilla movie in my life.. whereas I've seen a few of the Kong films which is pretty much all of them.. lol.
If you only watch one, check out the Godzilla with Brian Cranston. They did a lot more to build suspense and intensity than they did to show a giant monster smashing stuff. I've gotten really tired lately of special effects extravaganzas, but I was thoroughly impressed by that one.

Happy to report all is well in the woods today. Got same scary news about my husband’s brother in law’s mother. Her kidneys are not working well and it appears her other organs are shutting down. I think they will start her on dialysis soon but will not find out till Wednesday.

Yeah but she's more neotenous in features and her teary eyed face will have a more emotional impact on the judge.. lol.

One good thing for more women in the workforce.. I've read that women tend to be more harsh towards other women than men are. So the more women judges there are.. perhaps the more fairness there will be when judging cases.

Women do tend to be a little more harsh towards their own gender for various reasons. But I think men are the same way towards their gender as well. But maybe for different reasons than women.

I agree, men are more harsh with their treatment of other men compared to how men treat women. Personally I think women are naturally slightly more equal with the sexes compared to men.

Mainly men being evolved to be more susceptible towards neotenous cues from women. We men are the sex that find neoteny to be attractive, it's hard not to think a neotenous face gives men more of a vivid emotional response than a neotenous faces does for women. Evolutionarily this makes sense given that women are more reproductively valuable than a man is. One could argue that women also had a need to evolve a mindset of being more protective towards other women; but men are the ones who evolved to have to actually put themselves in danger to protect women, also that it might be somewhat advantageous if a woman is less concerned with another woman's well being in a competition sense. Not that women are psychopaths towards one another, but that they just don't have a positive bias for one another. One could point to feminism and how many of them hyper inflate women victimhood and deflate male victimhood, but I believe this comes from a more narcissistic place, and the few who do genuinely care more about women than men.. have more masculine brains. Hence the more stereotypical masculine feminists of old like Andrea Dworkin. Both are toxic, but they must be dealt with in different ways.

Despite being an anti-feminist (yet an egalitarian) I believe the more women are in power the less sexism against men there will be in the world. I'd much rather have a female judge in a child custody hearing than a male one. Most of the anti-feminist and pro male issue people I enjoy listening to are women.

Sudden Impact..

Heard it's the garbage dumpster of Dirty Harry movies.. kind of surprising considering this is the only film in the franchise directed by Clint Eastwood. He's usually good with his other movies.. guess he dropped the ball with this one.
