B.A. Parker

Yeah.

And, like, the fact that, like, Tyler Perry took up a lot of real estate with a very particular kind of film, but a lot of it grabs from, like, the problematic man and, like, the independent woman, but with a more, like, moralistic viewpoint on

towards it but not like the fun of being footloose and fancy free in phoenix and the power of friendship like it'll be 30 years this year since the movie since the movie came out it is 30 years since the movie came out but yeah so because it feels like such a very specific moment in time that there is like a nostalgia for it i agree with you parker i mean i know you didn't love the book

We can get to my feelings on the book.

This is my question.

Do we think Terry McMillan hates women?

I want to know why you think so.

I want to get into this.

As I was reading the book, Macmillan's writing style gave very much like that friend who is always mean.

Yes.

But when you call him out, they're like, I'm just being honest.

And I'm like, there are ways in which to do that that aren't this.

So I was reading the book.

This is the conclusion that I came after talking to Andrea a little bit.

I was like, I think the friends like each other, but I don't know if Macmillan likes these women.

Okay.

Well, it's because they're cheating.

Were people cheating like this in the 90s?

But also, it's more exacerbated because they are only dating, like, the same four black men in Phoenix.

Speak on it.
