Powerful White People

More From Jon Hamm

Men ruled the roost and women played a subservient role [in the 1960s]. working wives were a rarity, because their place was in the home, bringing up the kids. the women who did work were treated as second-class citizens because it was a male-dominated society. that was a fact of life then. but it wouldn't be tolerated today, and that's quite right in my book... people look back on those days through a thick veil of nostalgia, but life was hard if you were anything other than a rich, powerful, white male.

It's like everybody's sitting there and they have some kind of veil over their face, and they look at each other through this veil that makes them see each other through some stereotypical kind of viewpoint. if we're ever gonna collectively begin to grapple with the problems that we have collectively, we're gonna have to move back the veil and deal with each other on a more human level.

In ancient times, people weren't just male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female, female/female. in other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought. but then god took a knife and cut everybody in half, right down the middle. so after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.

Yes. the original argument is defective. substitute the word 'male' for 'gay,' and you'll see the flaw: 'male people cannot be normal. if everyone were male starting tomorrow, the human race would die out, so being male cannot be nature's intended way.' or you could substitute the word 'female.' in either case, the argument makes no sense: being male or female is perfectly normal.

...nameless, unknown to me as you were, i couldn't forget your voice!' 'for how long?' 'o - ever so long. days and days.' 'days and days! only days and days? o, the heart of a man! days and days!' 'but, my dear madam, i had not known you more than a day or two. it was not a full-blown love - it was the merest bud - red, fresh, vivid, but small. it was a colossal passion in embryo. it never returned.

Some days felt longer than other days. some days felt like two whole days. unfortunately those days were never weekend days. our saturdays and sundays passed in half the time of a normal workday. in other words, some weeks it felt like we worked ten straight days and had only one day off.
