Re: Bethany's Sin as reply to Levin--yeah, actually, I can see that. It's always surprising to me how loaded gender dynamics were back in the day, even as late as 1980; sort of like watching Milk and going: "Really? It was that big a deal to even admit publicly that gay guys existed, and weren't just leather queens or other stereotypes? Really?"
OTOH, given how people are still driven to ask stupid questions of James Franco as to how it was to kiss Sean Penn, like they desperately want him to confirm on air that YES, it was TERRIBLE, the THINGS I DO FOR MY ART...maybe nothing much has changed, in that particular respect.
