My own sister wept on the phone to me the other night - she was having a case of the 48th birthday blues - and when she sobbed about the fact that she was single, I couldn't help it. I told her to be grateful for all the bullets she had possibly dodged - abusive relationships, divorce, single motherhood. And that's in a free country where at least women actually have a choice about how to conduct their lives, unlike the unfortunate woman in the film you saw, and all the unfortunate real-life women she represents.
