Small Talk: No One Has to Fight for their Rights To Chit Chat

[Meredith Quill]

The Small Talk topic is for:

• Introductions
• Off-topic chatter
• Having virtual tea with forum buddies

This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:

1. Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about
2. Look for an existing topic that matches or fits
3. If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE!

Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to):

• Character topics
• Spoiler topics
• Comparison topics
• Speculation topics
• In the Media topics
• Favourite X topics
• ...you get the idea

Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

I hear you, sister, particularly “I cannot stomach watching it all over again.”.

Another choice tidbit from that time: I took some influential citizens (e.g., white campaign donors) to the House balcony to watch the action. Representative Barbara Jordan, a brilliant Texas attorney who happened to be black (she was on the short list for Supreme Court), was moving back and forth between the aisles during a debate. One of my group loudly asked "Who is that *N-word* down there?"

I won't even go into the sexual harassment we all endured on a regular basis. Or fights not to be treated as typists. And ongoing hostility from men AND woman as we tried to grow professionally.

Like the worst of her ilk, Phyllis engaged in nasty taunts and bragging about defeating women's evolution. FF (forever fuck) Phyllis Schlafly.

I recently found this series on Hulu and just finished it.  Man, Phyllis is a piece of work. I have been watching some old videos of her on various talk shows like Phil Donahue and Mike Douglas (here she debates with actresses from Three's Company and Little House on the Prairie) and she is just so damn smarmy and unlikable.
