Mad Max looks really good and I fully intend to see it at some point, but I just realized that it's reached critical mass for people talking about how it's a feminist movie. There's going to be a backlash. I don't know if it'll be in a few weeks/months or if it'll be when a sequel comes out, but ... it's coming. :/

Made a muslin waistband, pleated up my bustle underskirt, and attached them together - progress feels great! I can do anything! Just think, last Sunday all I had were the pieces pinned together and a vague sense of unease - now I have an unhemmed skirt and a semi-sheer Civil War outfit coming to me, and renewed self-confidence. Can someone remind me what fabric it is that's supposed to be like period longcloth for underclothes? I want to say Kona cotton but I thought everyone said that Kona was bad.

I've already seen someone (an internet feminist) claim it's not feminist because it's not pacifist, and how dare the enslaved women fight back against their rapist/enslaver, because when people are enslaved they should... uh... talk it out I guess. Or women should anyway, because women should be nurturing and gentle souls in all circumstances. I basically spit nails for the rest of the day when I saw that.
