I just thought it was all great. You know? I thought, how am I going to be this like, you know, sexy person that's, like, going on all these, like, I never dated. I had, like, long-term relationships. I never dated. I remember you saying this. Yeah. Right?

Or flirty. Right. Flirty. Right. My girlfriends, right, were not ever out on the prowl. And we never were. We're like my friends from high school. We like hang out with the boys in our high school. You know what I mean? Yes, I do. I do. It was not like we'd go and meet strangers and go to bed with them. I know.

Well, so remember there was all this stuff. I don't know if you've spoken about this yet, but there was all this stuff. There was this backlash where people were sort of, some people were like horrified.

And said, these aren't women. Right. Women don't act like this. Women don't talk like this. Women don't have this kind of lack of inhibition and lack of sentimental, romantic necessity. Right. Right? These are gay men disguised as women.

Right. It was very annoying. And I also remember, and I don't remember what season it was, where we had a reporter, like all four of us were talking to this person at the same time. And the reporter said, do you think this is a feminist show? And all four of us basically almost took that person's head off. We were like... well, of course it's a feminist show. Like, what's wrong with you?

Yeah, totally. Yes. We're all feminists. It's a feminist show. What would it be if it wasn't a feminist show? Right. Because we're wearing lipstick and high heels. Right. It's not a feminist show.

But you know what? It's really funny for me because, as I said, I started acting when I was like 11, 12. And one of the very first things that I did was this movie called Little Darlings. Ah. Which is starring Tatum O'Neill and Christy McNichol. And then there are six of us who aren't those two people. So there are eight young women.

And we're all like, we're all supposed to be like mid-teens, I would say. And some of us, like me, are 12 because I'm tall. And other people are like 18, but they're playing 15. Whatever, we're all playing. And it's about two girls who don't like each other at summer camp. And somebody starts a bet to see which one of them can lose their virginity.

first and all the rest of us line up with one or the other and there's lots of betting on it and the whole camp right gets involved and this was a very popular successful movie that it's like very dear to a lot of people's hearts but when it came out I remember one review that started, now here's a disgusting idea for a movie, right? Critics were horrified.

And this was like literally 20 years later. And it was, I was like, it was deja vu for me. It was like, here are women who are talking about sex and the possibilities of sex with their female friends and then going out and assertively pursuing it. Right. And audiences are like, wow, cool. And critics are like, ew.
