AND 3) Leaving Farrah Fawcett out of the Memorandum part of the show. Michael Jackson (?) who has made only one movie & is more music than actor??? What were they thinking or were they EVEN THINKING!

Nothing has changed in all those years. So much for progress! It's so shameful. I had a letter published in Cosmo magazine 22 years ago on this very same subject.

It's so demoralizing, but people like you are standing up for all of us saying this junk won't be taken any more. It's just inelegant, let alone sexist. It's the stuff of losers.
