Fun APL intro from tslil.

Legendary rant from Alyssa (well-performed by the equally legendary Joey Lauren Adams) that’s the original source of all “handed a map at birth” references and snowclones. And Holden is such a jerk in this scene. It’s weird how so much misogyny is braided together with the male gaze’s internalized androphobia. A lot of patriarchal structures are tied into androphobia, into guys’ fear and hatred of each other and of their attraction to each other. Femininity is simultaneously valued and constricted.

(Also go listen to “Love Cliché” by BV3 after watching the film.)
