 * I also resent the term “Snowflakes” that boomers frequently throw at us, usually when topics such as gender and sexuality come up. They’re clearly all homo- and/or transphobic bigots with no intention of ever building a discourse because boomers would rather resort to name-calling. OK boomer, sit down.

 * On one level, I understood Parker. She came up in an era when putting up with male misbehavior was just part of the job of being a journalist. Sometimes you could make lemonade out of lemons; maybe she genuinely enjoyed “flirting” with Matthews.

 * If you’re of a certain generation, “The Great Escape” conjures images of Stalag Luft III and Steve McQueen trying to jump a barbed-wire fence on a motorcycle.
