Still processing...
It's amazing. I've theoretically known this little handy fact since at least 2002, I should think. Time blurs together, but the first Lord of the Rings movie came out in December 2001, and that's a time anchor for the ensuing kerfuffle with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
digitalambience, ralmathon, teenagewitch, marxdarx, and the rest of the household. And that kerfuffle is the time anchor for how long I've held the theoretical knowledge of the depth of a thing.
So. 2002 was The Two Towers, and I hadn't figured it out.
2003 was Return of the King, and perhaps by then I had noted that if not for the one, then the other.
2004 is now.
I have been officially godsmacked.
Now I have to decide what to do about it, if anything, besides wait out what waiting there is, and discuss things with people.
There shan't be a full discussion of this until at least Saturday, if not Sunday or Monday, if then. Had I not been so absolutely floored, I would have remained sitting on this until then. I have a rule that when there is something going on, the most affected parties are informed first. If other parties need to be pulled in to help someone deal with something that is very weird shit, so be it, but things don't get talked about until the chain of discussion has been worked through.
If then.
I'm babbling, because my brain is so very broken. I can't help but scroll my brain backward to the Ides of March, 2000 -- is this a repeat? Dear fuck $DEITY shit, I hope not. Violation of Caesar's left toenail, I hope not. And if it is, I'll be warned about it and I will have the tools and experience to deal with it. Tay-tay, if you read this, I'm going to need to spend some argh-time with you over this. This is serious.
...Bechdel's Law. Bechdel's Law. Bechdel's Law. Anyone seen any monsters around?

I've been through this sort of universe-spin before. It's always something I should have been bright enough to pick up on when I first realized it, or taken a clue, but for whatever reason I didn't notice and I went along on my merry little way doing things according to my outdated view of the universe, so now I have several years of mental re-filing to do, and incoherent blibbering and a great deal of uncertainty as to what I'm going to do with the new universe-view.
This has happened several times recently. I suspect that quite a few of my ancient (and erroneous) merry little assumptions are going to be challenged, so you may see quite a bit of me sounding like this. Maybe I'll even get used to it.
It's not a particularly scary mental state for me to be in, as much as I may seem utterly unhinged to the outsider. It's not so much unhinged, it's just that the hinges have been moved and I'm just now realizing it...

Did you possibly mean gobsmacked?

I did mean to ask what Bechdel's Law is though...
Re: processing
One of them has a simple rule that she uses to judge whether or not a movie will be good for her to watch.
One, it must have at least two female characters.
Two, they must have a conversation.
Three, the conversation must be about something other than a man.
The last movie that our heroine had been able to watch was one of the alien movies, because the two chicks had talked about the monster.

Oh, I like that one!

My thoughts are with you...
Re: processing
My processing took an abrupt turn for the better Friday when I got by myself with some paper and worked out the sound logical reasons why I wished to continue as I had been going as if nothing untoward had happened, just with the knowledge that I'd gained extra. And they're sound, and they're logical, and I feel comforted in having that option, because I was getting tired of jumping at every new thing.
