Summary

This quote highlights the societal shifts brought about by the baby boomer generation. The speaker suggests that the widespread use of contraception, particularly the pill, allowed more women to pursue education and careers. As a result, there has been a significant increase in the number of women writers, editors, and producers, leading to a greater representation of women's stories in various media outlets. The comment about the BBC reflects how this transformation has influenced even traditionally male-dominated industries.

But really, anybody could die any day, whether you were ready or not. It could be your pet fish or your sister or you. Nothing is the same forever. Maybe all the people on Earth are God's little pet fish. God lives such a long time that people's lives probably seem really short to him. He watches them swim for a little while, and then they stop swimming.
