Size Matters – a short film collage
Size Matters, Peg TIttle What if women were the taller sex? I suggest that this would make a difference in the power relationship between men and women. Ask any short man. This short film is a five‑minute (approximately) collage of scenes from ordinary life. That is, ordinary life reversed ‑ one in which women are …

To all the men who
To all the men who let their mothers and wives do all the dusting, vacuuming, kitchen wiping, and bathroom scrubbing; to all the men who throw their garbage out of their cars and boats and ATVs and snowmobiles; and to all the men who ‘externalize’ the waste/disposal costs involved in doing (their) business — because …
