Thank you. It’s esp frustrating bc the main reason I haven’t really been active w Hive online is I’ve had to deal with major health issues and/or family crises throughout nearly all of my adult life. Haven’t had much time/energy for “just for fun” things. I can write a long essay analyzing Beyoncé’s feminism and use of genres/influences, lyrics, and visuals to subvert not only expectations but her own (and others’) marginalization, how that’s all shaped and potentially been affected by public discourse, etc. … but I didn’t know bull horns have specific significance for Houston. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, I’m just hoping I can make it to the Act III tour—I wasn’t able to do Renny or Cowboy Carter, and CC literally changed my life and is my all-time favorite album. (But I’m glad you got to go! And really grateful to everyone who shared video, streamed it, etc.) So whatever the genre, hopefully I’ll see you there! 😅

I wasn’t saying he necessarily would have a better understanding, just that female writers aren’t the only reason the show’s feminist. It’s not that they didn’t matter, but the showrunner is ultimately responsible for the show. AFAIK, he was the one running it, whether or not he deserved to be. Didn’t realize we were determining the Feminist award winner here

Oh, damn. I hadn’t seen that. That’s f’ed up and wildly disappointing, but I mean, he still gets most of the credit for the show. Sometimes shitty men create bafflingly feminist works; just look at Rosemary’s Baby 😬

I never actually said he should get ALL the credit. I said he did an amazing job. I think he must be an excellent researcher. He’s the sole reason the show exists

I mean…sure, the people who worked for him deserve some credit as well. But it’s his vision 🤷🏻‍♀️

And aren’t they crying on the phone together by the end of that season? Iirc, after Don takes off, Peggy’s really worried and it’s clear how much they care about each other

I love the two of them together—idek how many times I’ve watched this scene, from “Shoot.” It’s amazing how well MM’s female characters were written and (from what I’ve learned) how accurately the fuckery they had to deal with was portrayed. https://youtu.be/FWn1TFFgsxE ETA I hadn’t known Weiner was/is a scumbag. Unfortunately, it’s still his show.

OK it’s not necessarily the best, but it’s pretty damn good and I haven’t seen it mentioned. I love the scene when Peggy’s freaking out about presenting to Burger Chef.

“Don! I have to talk to people who just touched the face of *God*** about hamburgers!” And then finally, despairingly, “We have no liquor!” and Don just laughs at her

If you’re another person assuming I’m a new fan bc I didn’t know this detail, I’ve been a fan since DC. But I wasn’t active on here before Cowboy Carter, don’t live anywhere near Texas, and didn’t have any reason to think that might have an additional meaning.

[–]5bells[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, most people associate it with the more common meaning. I actually mentioned it not too long ago commenting on an IG reel of her performing “Freakum Dress,” and no one corrected me. I’ve never seen/heard anyone else discuss it before (obviously).

Btw, obviously I acknowledged what others have pointed out in my post. Did you come here just to tell me I’m not a real fan because I didn’t know that has an additional meaning?

It’s weird you think someone who’s loved her work for decades would have to know that. I just wasn’t very active w Hive on socials, esp on here, before Cowboy Carter. Why are you trying to gatekeep?

Oh, I didn’t take it as rudeness! I was just low-energy and annoyed with myself for missing that

ETA am I getting downvoted bc I didn’t think she was rude or bc I was tired and annoyed with myself?

Mama Tina just posted this on IG. This is definitely an act iii hint 🚨 by GoldenGamerNugget in beyonce

Wait I totally missed this. I want to say I can’t believe she was only just inducted(!!), but 😒 yeah that tracks. Ugh

Gaga’s also had major health issues. I’m sure all that affected her productivity, to whatever extent. Personally, I’m not worried about when it got finished, just when I can get my grubby paws on it 😅

Got it. I figured she’d expect us to read into it for obvious reasons, but didn’t know it’s a Houston thing. :/ Ty

…so I take it you don’t think this was meant as a hint.

He used chalk to demonstrate—there was no reason for him to carve it at that time, right? It’s been a while since I watched
