“It’s a shame that all the blame is on us women…”

RIP Kitty Wells, America’s first female country music star. Sixty years ago this summer, Wells topped the charts with “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels,” in a rebuke to all those ol’ boys who blamed their wayward ways on wayward gals. She wasn’t having it.

“Bruce Lee was proof: not all Asian Men were doomed to a life of being Generic. If there was even one guy who had made it, it was at least theoretically possible for the rest. But easy cases make bad law, and Bruce Lee proved too much. He was a living, breathing video game boss-level, a human cheat code, an idealized avatar of Asian-ness and awesomeness permanently set on Expert difficulty. Not a man so much as a personification, not a mortal so much as a deity on loan to you and your kind for a fixed period of time. A flame that burned for all yellow to understand, however briefly, what perfection was like.”
