F is also for Floozy

You know, every time the_axel plays the Evil Dead soundtrack, I find myself wondering why it is that whenever there is a slut character in a play/book/movie, she is always portrayed as dumb.

Why can't it ever be a smart woman who just happens to have a somewhat greedy taste for the pleasures carnal? Why is the default assumption that those two personality traits must always be diametrically opposed?

Is it just because the writers who pump this shit out have never met any?

Oh! I don't think I'm familiar with that one.

She's sexy, she has sex because she wants to, and she's not stupid! Or evil.

Is she in the movie version? (Olivia Newton John, wasn't it?

[panic-girl.livejournal.com]

You're not familiar with Grease? WHAT THE?!

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Oh, I've heard of it. I've just never sat down and watched it.

[panic-girl.livejournal.com]

Yep, I assumed that's what you meant.
And so I reiterate:
WHAT THE?!

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Um. Is that unusual?

[panic-girl.livejournal.com]

Myup. It was pretty much ubiquitous when I was a kid. Course you have a year or two on me, so maybe it's a cohort thing.

It was pretty much ubiquitous when I was a kid, too, but I still managed to avoid seeing it.

(I think I come somewhere between you and Sio in age).

One or two, yeah. :-)

I think the cultural equivalent for me is probably Saturday Night Fever. (Which I also managed not to see.)
