Subject: Hey Lois! Hugs! You know ... I think I have become wearied by a certain plot dynamic that has played over and over in Peg's Story. I firmly believe that I can not be accused of misogny when I recognize a character trait that I do NOT like in women ... fictional or otherwise. If you read my comments in the pics Topic below, you know what I mean. Meg giving her "close" friendships with Craig, Mike and now Dusty precedence over Paul telling her that they HURT him, and saying that Paul is irrational and jealous about it time and time again in the face of her actions with those men has just worn out my empathatic response to Meg. Yes, Paul has done stupid things it's true ... but so has Meg and she refuses ANY acountability for HER actions or her betrayals ... her lies and her manipulations. Probably the writers point in all this. Accountability is a two way street and screams of "misogony!!!" are specious at best and lazy thinking too.
In reply to: cataz 's message, "Tat, this is just how I'm interpretating the story and what we're seeing right now. Paul indeed has been stripped down so many times and left to just go and lick his wounds. Meg's getting a little taste of it and I hope she gets it -- and figures out where she belongs. It's so hard to give these writers credit because they come up with the most obscene ways sometimes, but the picture to me is quite clear as to what's been happening to Paul and why he responds as he does and where his heart is, and it makes me love him and root for him all the more to make it. Thank you, I needed some sanity on the net this morning :) --- Also want to add I adore "our little Eliza" and I hope her daddy won't ever let her go." on 06:26:35 04/09/09 Thu
