The world, everywhere sick.

July 27, 2016/ Ross Findlay

On why there are no women in In Search Of Basho.

Quite simply, because I fucked up.

I know the Bechdel Test, and ISOB fails it. Not even by a little bit. All the way.

This upsets me. And I apologise for it. We forgot. There are no excuses, it was just male blindness.

If you're a guy, and don't understand or see the relevance of any of the above, please take two minutes to read Alison Bechdel's original comic:

Sorry again for the fuck-up.
