Wadjda and Giant [View all]

I've been thinking about a scene from the movie Wadjda in which a group of men only were in a discussion, and the wife of one of them was only allowed to provide food for them. I could only think, how Islamic of them.

Then my brain synapses retrieved a memory of a scene from the movie Giant. A group of cattle barons were herded together after dinner to discuss business. Liz Taylor tried to join the conversation but was rebuked.

Different religion, same result.
