Yeah, so much for not firing or not hiring addicts in recovery, people with "emotional illnesses" as I believe the law puts it, or those newly diagnosed with/in remission from cancer. I knew one woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer and who was fired for no real reason but the real reason was they didn't want her to drive up insurance costs. This was pre-Obamacare, so with no job she had no insurance and went on Medicaid, but at least the private companies get to save $$$, right?

....huh, I wouldn't personally classify the women in La Femme Nikita or Under the Skin as femme fatales either. No Louise Brooks? No Last Seduction?? Bound, Lady from Shanghai, Dead Reckoning, Scarlet Street? The Grifters? (That features an older femme fatale, too.) (Does nobody but me love Body Heat? Yeah it's kinda cheezy, but Kathleen Turner's delivery of "You're not too smart, are you? I like that in a man," OMG.)
