Actually, Mrs. Robinson Was a Lonely, Cheating Slut

Marina Cougar brought to light this group today, the Mrs. Robinson Society (its overwrought site is a must!) whose are a "movable social club and think tank for sophisticated, vibrant, fully evolved ladies of a certain ilk who enjoy openly sharing progressive ideas about art, culture, and personal relationships." And "although extramarital flings with young men...are not necessarily on the agenda," said 7x7, such behavior seems to be the group's main inspiration.

Wikipedia goes further to say that the grandma group "celebrates [Mrs. Robinson's] character as a symbol of female independence and empowerment for a new generation of married women." Why,because it's fine to cheat on your husband if each and every single one of your needs aren't met? Empowering, indeed.

But looking over Anne Bancroft, we can see why someone would want to emulate her character in The Graduate. Not to fag out on you guys, but: wow. Gorgeous.
