She had stayed a virgin so she wouldn’t be called a tramp or a slut; had married so she wouldn’t be called an old maid; faked orgasms so she wouldn’t be called frigid; had children so she wouldn’t be called barren; had not been a feminist because she didn’t want to be called queer and a man-hater; never nagged or raised her voice so she wouldn’t be called a bitch… She had done all that and yet, still, this stranger had dragged her into the gutter with the names that men call women when they are angry.
Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe (via anuraglahiri)
one of my favorite movies of all time.
of course, the parking lot scene when kathy bates annihilates the young girls’ car
obviously, mary louise and mary stuart
and the tomatoes, of course, looking so tasty
oh- and the best meal of the officers life at the whistle stop cafe= the victims body
