Most Sundays for the past few months, our friend Kyle has had some of the women in the neighborhood over to view films directed by women. Free Bitch cinema. Clearly, the final movie of the series was the 2009 animated film Wonder Woman.
There have been some memorable moments: the horror of the woods scene in Wendy and Lucy, the decadence of Marie Antoinette. But there is nothing quite like watching Amazon warrior women saving the world in an FTON basement with some of the most powerful women you know, and a guy who planned free bitch in the first place. Moments like this, and the vagina monologues reading, and our Thursday potlucks, and, and, and, remind me of the best parts of the university life, the parts that are suppose to lead to more compassionate and thoughtful individuals. Just like in college, forming bonds, sharing ideas, and being idealistic together is something we do nearly every day. It is more powerful, though, because we are older and it is not four years, but a life we are building together.
Sometimes I think Franklinton is the only college I have ever attended.
