Quentin Tarantino Did Not Seem to Enjoy Being Asked About Women at the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Press Conference

Quentin Tarantino scowls as Margot Robbie talks during a Cannes press conference.
Those of us not at Cannes will have to wait to see if Tarantino was able to give due weight within the movie itself to the role of misogyny and the specific terrors faced by women in Manson's orbit, but his words around the movie sure don't give us much hope that'll be the case.

Why the Anti-Abortion Movement Relies on Its White Women Leaders

Alabama governor Kay Ivey signs a horrible abortion bill.
Staunchly anti-abortion women can often seem confounding. Why would anyone support laws directly harmful to their health and safety? But if you look closely, you’ll find many anti-abortion women have something in common: They’re often white and in a position to benefit from aligning themselves with powerful white men in their lives as a means to consolidate their own political power.
