I don't mean to offend anyone either with my opinion. I don't judge those who think Gone With The Wind was a good novel or movie. The particular phrase that I've been remembering is <em>"Lawsy, Miss Scarlett, I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' no babies,"</em> and the particular scene the discussion brought up for me is Rhett overpowering Scarlett, carrying her up the stairs and ravishing her in the bedroom.
