Even binge watching stuff on OTT platforms has lost its charm. I keep contemplating going back to books... & I tried ... but - dead inside!
I was also sure that life had too much to offer to watch series. I always stuck to movies to get done with what I started. Even that changed... because - dead inside!
So anyway, caught up with a few remarkable series that explained patriarchy quite well. Queen's Gambit (because the in-laws couldn't stop raving about it) and now catching up with the Crown. Some of those dialogues in both these series have said it so effectively - like when Queen Elizabeth says "I would ask you to consider your response not that which my age and gender would suggest.. in light of the respect that my rank and my office deserve'. The Queen of all people had to say this!!!... and that too in the beginning of the 20th century. This dialog is still relevant and I believe every woman - even someone as common as me - can still use this!! Actually, truth be told, I never ever thought I would sympathize with the obstinacy of British royalty but I finally have begun to understand their side! I'm amazed at how every coin does have two sides after all.
