Soft Cell
I recently was shown the film,
The Virgin Suicides
. It is a haunting and sadly
mysterious tale of five sisters in a quiet Michigan town, as seen from without
by the captivated and befuddled adolescent boys of the neighborhood.
I have heard time and again from women that it is a very accurate
picture of the tragic and unfair difference between the experiences of a girls
life,
in contrast to the freedom laden and liberal upbringing of boys.
Not having had the experience of growing up a girl in a boys world, I am stuck
for a response to this assertation.
I nod a lot.
