Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown...?


 I wouldn't necessarily say I'm a feminist, but I felt outraged for women (and little girls) everywhere while watching Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown last night. All the girls portrayed in the movie are annoying, love sick, and verbally abused by all the boys. They don't have intelligent actions or thoughts and are compelled to constantly spill their hearts out to their crushes (and then subsequently are yelled or laughed at).

Also, Linus appears to have substance abuse issues, which I found very disturbing. The only good heartwarming thing to come out of the movie was Snoopy. And by the way, I really want to get a dog.
