SAVE
HER O SAVE HER isn’t an especially Feminist title, even if
it’s all about a HER not a HIM. We could waste five perfectly
good minutes trying to untangle WHO is being called on to save her,
and/or WHY is she helpless to save herself? Except we have better
things to do and it’s time for breakfast. Also, if after some
bacon and eggs or toast and tofu, you take the time to watch the
whole video, you will see that it is she herself calling to HERSELF
to save herself from a fate which was once taught (& starting
to be again) as worse than death. The innocent virgin tied to the
rail road tracks as the big steel train hurtles towards her belching
stream (O what a salacious metaphor!) and the villain twirls his
waxed mustache to make HER agree to his nefarious assault on her
Purity!? Or, was it the mortgage he wanted?.Anyone remember The
Perils of Pauline? My name starts with a P, but it’s sure
not Pauline.
