there's no person who has had the opportunity to work with Armie who does not remember him with affection and great esteem even after long time ♥️

"I think that it is important that young girls don’t feel like they have to conform to some idea of what a girl should be. You can be whoever you want, whatever you are, and take confidence in that. There isn’t a standard that we should all be working towards. It’s about finding you, celebrating what’s different about us, and society letting that come through."

One Dress a Day Challenge

July: Green Redux + Blue Redux

On the Basis of Sex / Felicity Jones as Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Again, it's a good thing I'm doing blue and green at the same time, because this dress has elements of both. The lines are very clean and classic, with the boat neck, cap sleeves, and bows at the waist. It reminds me of Debora Kerr's dress from Tea and Sympathy, but without the dress clips. I love the dark gloves!

Costumes for this movie were designed by Isis Mussenden.

This weekend I watched one of my favorite movies "On the Basis of Sex" which is about the first case which the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg tried. It concerned the tax law at the time where a caregiver's credit could be given only if the caregiver was a woman. Her client was an unmarried man who cared for his mother. The movie really highlights how women's rights in the US during the late 60s and 70s were still so oppressive. I didn't know that women couldn't open a credit card unless their husband agreed and signed her up for one. That changed in 1975. Women couldn't work OT in Oregon. Females in the military had to serve longer than men for their retirement packages. Columbia University finally started admitting women in 1981. Most Ivy league schools had separate schools for women with a more "appropriate" (whatever that means) curriculum. The ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) was never ratified. The Pill could only be prescribed to married women, at first, because to prescribe it to single women would encourage prostitution and promiscuity. Those laws were struck down in 1972...52 years ago. I remember when teachers had to quit teaching when they became pregnant and began to show because it showed they were having sex and children might be led astray. I remember in 1st grade an announcement came on one afternoon and it was decided that girls could start wearing pants to school. I was so happy! It meant I didn't freeze in the winter and didn't have to worry about some stupid boy flipping up my dress to try and see my underwear. I always wore shorts underneath my skirt for protection. Why should girls have to wear such items? Maybe that's why I don't like to wear dresses to this day. To me, they were and still are a sign of oppression. Some jobs required that women quit working when they got married.

My daughter and granddaughter, fortunately, did not grow up in such a world. They have always known they could go to college, aspire to do what they want, get the proper medication for birth control without having to be "married", and have the vote. I hope we are not moving backwards in this country. I am so afraid but I do have hope. What is it about women and women's bodies which drives this fight for us? Why has it been so difficult for us to just control our own bodies and destinies? Most Americans don't seem to feel the same way about women and women's rights as they did in the 1970s and if my grand daughter's attitude is anything to go one, these young women have loud strong voices and opinions about the rights they have known their whole lives. That gives me hope.

Armie as Ruth Ginsburg's husband is so fucking cute. It's like every time he laughs and smiles in love and in awe and is so supportive and wants her to shine, all he has to do is think of one specific person and it's all there. 💚💙

Bruce: If you lose, you will set the women's movement back 10 years.

Jen: You don't get to tell me when to quit.

Bruce: Get your emotions in check.

Jen: You first.
