How Not to Change

I really need to check in on McSweeney’s more regularly. Here’s an amusing list of ways to make classic movies less sexist. Gone With the Wind sounds about right:

Rhett kisses and grabs at Scarlett against her will. Scarlett informs Rhett that though they are married, she still has autonomy over her body and has the right to refuse sex. The pair ascend the staircase in thoughtful conversation, and Rhett wakes up the next morning glowing with newfound feminist awareness.

Read the whole thing at least if you want a lift from Ebola, beheadings, and the exploding stock market.
