The only woman he has around is daddy's little girl. Even Conway has been pushed to the periphery, sitting on the couch with her knees apart while all the important men turn their backs on her.

Of course, Melissa McCarthy does Spicer better than Spicer does. That's gotta hurt.

and I was bitterly disappointed. Women seemed to have been vanished.

wallpaper covered signature spike heeled shoes in her mouth and they'll bring another woman in.

Don't get your hopes up for Conway, she'd have to be played by a guy who's a Beavis lookalike.

Still, the most disquieting reason for all that testosterone on SNL tonight is all of it in the Oval Office surrounding Asshole. He really doesn't like women, not at all.

But you knew that. So did I.

By the specter of Kellyann Conway messing up the TV grinning from ear to ear (she got one big maw that lady does) and acting like it was all her idea.

Then Bannon appeared to rattle off a litany of mostly incoherent alt-right talking points. I really didn't know who he was, now I wish I didn't.

was the realization that Conway was not going to disappear into the alt-right media ether. That was the second time I cried that night.

The bar mitzvah boy , the middle school play (almost all female ), Dratch , Family Feud , Melissa McCarthy .
The women didn't dominate , but they were represented .

Men have been playing women for centuries . Hello Shakespeare (& long before the Elizabethans).Think of it as equal opportunity casting. I'm sure the female cast-members would find your position odd.

I've noticed in our culture people really are invested in not allowing themselves to enjoy anything. It was the same thing with the Star Wars trailer on Friday.
