I’m sorry. I’m not generally an advocate for the Lifetime network anyway, but when I was feeding Chloe with Golden Girls reruns playing the background the other day, I happened upon the fact that they must think we’re all stupid.
Not because of the totally stereotypically vapid reruns (that I love), the heavily demographically-schemed original programming (that I tolerate), the formula-friendly original movies (that are atrocious,) or any other feminist-friendly issue with their network, though.
But because they apparently really think we’re not going to notice that this new Heather Locklear movie (‘Flirting with Forty’) is just ‘How Stella Got Her Groove Back’ with white people. And I’m sorry to get all soapboxy this early in the weekend, but NOBODY is going to make a steamier sex scene than Angela Bassett and Taye Diggs. Nobody. Not ever. Never in the history of cinema or the world or in any realm of any universe or dimension…
…ahem…
Don’t insult my intelligence, Lifetime. You may have sucked in most women with your overcompensating reruns and Carson Kressley making women love their own naked bodies, but you’re not going to pull the wool over our eyes on this one. Not happening.

Who's said what now?
