We’ve all been on nightmarish dates. The problem is that there is a flatness to “Louie’s” women that suggests their creator is woefully out of touch. Maybe in some roundabout way that is what he wants. When a character played by Chloe Sevigny works herself to orgasm at a coffee shop in a recent episode, Louie looks at the barista and kind of shrugs helplessly as if to say, Poor me, I had no part in this. Which is frustrating, as he’s the one writing the script.

“…analysts say more than social equity is at stake. A dearth of ideas and participation by women in the technology churn has business consequences as well.” (Also, reading about what chauvinist boys-club assholes so many venture capitalists are makes me angry every time.)
