No, I wasn't lost, Theresa. Prompted by a mention of polymorphous perversity on the radio earlier, I was just musing about gender politics and why in the early 2st century it still seems to be the case that our view of gender roles and identity is so simplistic and so stereotyped that any male who can play a musical instrument and does not look like a caveman is assumed to be gay. Are you a mother of sons? It almost makes me thankful I'm not.
I still haven't watched enough of RH to know whether any lady was ever nice to Guy, but surely Marian is, at least some of the time?
Funnily enough, 40deniertights, I was going to enrol us all for an MA in Victorian Literature (specialist topic the works of Mrs Gaskell) but the college where I was once planning to take this esteemed course of intellectual study no longer offers it. So the search continues.
And I have a fabulous vid for Guy fans tomorrow.
