Fempire

Dear Women, You Don't Always Have to Roar

Being a woman, I'm all about the empowerment of women, obviously - but there are times when women just make it too easy to not take them seriously. Case in point:

Lorene Scafaria [who co-wrote "Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist"] and Diablo Cody are usually not a duo, but half of a quartet. With their pals Dana Fox, who wrote “What Happens in Vegas,” and Liz Meriwether, a playwright-turned-screenwriter, they make up a Hollywood powerhouse writing posse who call themselves “The Fempire.”

I liked "Juno", a lot - so my apologies to Diablo Cody - but are we really bragging about "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" and "What Happens in Vegas"? That makes you part of something called a Fempire? You can probably feel how red my face is right now and you are absolutely on point. I don't really know what else to say right now.

Editors Note: I feel obliged to mention that "What Happens in Vegas" was shown to me on a plane, and the only movie I have refused to watch on a plane is "Mad Money". I probably should have denied WHIV because I can never get those two hours back, but you win some, you lose some.
