Nowadays there's far more politically correct awareness overall, often too far the other way, except on wild west social media where women really do get a much harder time than in the past. Game of Thrones, whatever you think of it, is an oddity in that it has really strong female characters, very well cast for the roles they play but comes with the penalty that most of them have to appear naked at some point as they are competing against(free) internet porn for viewers. Same sea saw effect has oscillated frequently over the history of films and TV. The 1970s and 1980s had some strong TV then it tamed down in the 1990s early 2000s. Same with mainstream music which is going through a particularly bland period at present.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-22030245973901016612018-07-02T23:05:40.902+01:002018-07-02T23:05:40.902+01:00I've got to say that I didn't find any of ...I've got to say that I didn't find any of the 60s or 70s particularly sexist!<br /><br />I also think that hollowing out a treetrunk to make a boat is a lot easier than making planks and then putting one together - probably far more watertight too!Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-8159810364531174072018-06-29T14:17:30.262+01:002018-06-29T14:17:30.262+01:00Ah, Thanks Anabel,

Hopefully they can have some success at it- not easy when online shopping continues to dominate the market place.<br />That was the building I mentioned.

The name escapes me now. Anyway, I am glad to see the building in use even if the window posters look tackier than under previous management. The gallery by the railway bridge is the JD Fergusson Gallery and is worth a visit if you like the Scottish Colourists. (I think that’s the one you mean, it’s in the old water tower).Anabel Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15643196773717977697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-62974553974116296182018-06-29T13:44:51.101+01:002018-06-29T13:44:51.101+01:00I was still working on it when you posted Kay.
