Dang!

The "Barbarella" Wikipedia string above, doesn't work.

Not surprising Jane Fonda did not see it as her best film. But neo-criticism of "Barbarella" now considers it feministically "empowering"

See http://girlsdofilm.wordpress.com/2014/07/06/jane-fonda-barbarella-and-sexual-empowerment/

"But a second viewing suggests that, despite the trashy, soft-core stance, Barbarella is an empowered female astronaut who attracts (and is attracted to) both men and women and always (if you’ll pardon the pun) comes out on top.

In terms of gender roles, it’s a movie with limitations but, considering the era in which it was made (the late 1960s), it’s surprisingly progressive.

At the time, the male-led ‘space race’ was at the forefront of many cinemagoers’ minds; Barbarella was an alternative – a female astronaut who was sexy, single and political – a highly dangerous combination."

Just like the 1960s Censorship ban on "I Dream of Jeannie's" Barbara Eden from exposing her

Hopefully for not much longer.
ateday,
You mean you're hoping for those who started & promoted PC to get a return to Power ?

In Australia they have effectively killed off the adventure/documentary industry.
There was good clean informative watching of the films by Malcolm Douglas, Ben Cropp, Ron & Valerie Taylor, Mike & Mal Leyland, David Ireland & who could forget Alby Mangels.
Young people had role models to look up & entice their sense of adventure to get up & get involved in such activities. What is there now ? MKR, Talent quests with no talent, Ninja Warriors & the ever stupefying Football & Basket Ball ?
The have cooking shows interspersed with ads of the starving kids dying everyday, very thoughtful TV alright ! Is it any wonder the young are going mad ?
Why doesn't this Govt commission some Australian adventure Indie filmmaking to give the young some hope instead of back to back NCIS etc saturation American episodes ?

PC has always been and will always be the scourge of this new world order.
We, the pragmatic, mature of the bunch, have allowed this to happen.
Those who want to have conversations are simply taking the gutless way out.
While we are all conversing we get the scum pulling stunts like the one in Bristol, UK.
An affront to ALL mankind, these scum-bags put up a statue of some maggot of a GREY, not even a black, woman as a sick attempt at trying to seek mileage for the stupid BLM cause.
I was very relieved and happy to hear them say that, not only was the statue erected illegally, but it was going to be torn down, and I hope they melt the bloody thing back to it's base materials.
For too long the GREYS have been pushing these unrealistic and unjustified mantra's, and we have let them.
As long as they were just venting, it was tolerated, but now, enough is enough.
Time to shut them out and or down.
We have far too many minorities wanting far too many concessions, to the point where the majority can start to complain that THEY are becoming the minority and being sidelined.
Film censorship, is only just another brick in the wall of bias and virtue signalling.
I am one of the most outspoken on OLO and I know for a fact that the adjudicators have their finger firmly poised over the "shut me down" button, waiting for me to stuff up again.
The truth is, it's not possible to contain people, they will not be silenced, for good or for bad.
The problem with PC and censorship, I have stated so often is that it does not allow the truth to be told.
If a discussion deserves an aggressive delivery or an abusive one because the message is not being heeded, then it should be allowed.
We can never know the sensitivities of another, and like me, we should not care.
Allowing the fear of hurting someones feelings to suppress the truth, then your better off ignoring them.

Geez Pete, you love taunting the Feminazis with comments like those above. In Tim O'Hare's words: "...because the only way we are to progress as a society is if everyone thinks the same." Yup... up with the right arm to shoulder height, chant the relevant dogma, vacate your brains and march on...

True Albie
