Miranda July is not devoid of self-irony

Miranda July, riot grrrrl and feminist, is not devoid of self-irony. In her film “Me and You and Everyone We Know” (The Caméra d’Or prize in The Cannes Festival 2005 as well as the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival, Best First Feature at the Philadelphia Film Festival, Feature Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the San Francisco International Film Festival, and the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Los Angeles Film Festival) two schoolgirls who are liked a rather disgusting adult man think he is stalking them. However, this stalking is limited to self-made inscriptions on the man’s window. Schoolgirls read them and start arguing. They were especially outraged by “Then the tall one would suck my stone-hard dick”.

Lower girl: What? Why does he say “the tall one”?
Taller girl: Because he wants me to do it.
Lower girl: He’s crazy. You’d leave teeth marks all over it. You’d choke on it.
Taller girl: He could see that I have a sensuous mouth.
Lower girl: This is crazy. Someone should call in the authorities. Obviously, I would do it better.

Immediately after that, they arrange a training competition in the blowjob, where it turns out that they are equally skilled in this craft.
