...with a wall post that night but with a realization: Sweet old feminism’s all grown up, and she’s created a monster named Male-bashing. Despite the fact that American women are achieving at higher rates than ever before—they are accepted to colleges at higher rates than men, for instance—in the latest mutation of female empowerment, it has become totally acceptable for women to dismiss men as worthless bastards...
...annual accounts for the European Economic Community because of fraud and corruption. Democracy has been destroyed, since most of our laws are now made by bureaucrats in Brussels who are not elected and are not accountable to us.

And if the villagers took a shine to the creature before being egged on to kill him? It's also Beauty and the Beast . Except that Edward's beauty is the beast - for most of the piece Kim pays scant attention to our hero - and, as incarnated by Depp or either of the men (Sam Archer and Richard Winsor) who dances Edward for Bourne, the beast is beautiful...
