If it wasn't rape why lie to her about why everyone came in? This is so cut and dry. Several of them apologizing after the fact and trying to influence her memory of the night to make her believe she consented. Its so fucking obvious they were trying to keep her quiet
the weird thing about reading so much as a child and gaining a huge vocabulary from that is I can't define a lot of words i use, i just…know that they would fit correctly in a specific sentence. does anyone else experience that 😭?
My dad used to completely lose interest in a movie if something stupidly unbelievable happened in it. But understand, this meant that if he was watching a werewolf movie and a character went to the post office on Sunday when they’re closed, he’s stop watching.
The idea that one woman can rape a room full of men is only acceptable to people because of third wave feminisms insistence on erasing gendered power dynamics in favour of viewing patriarchy as something that “hurts men too” cry me a fucking river and die next
@globeobserve i know, im saying that men who were not abused weaponize public recognition of female on male abuse to redirect allegations made towards them in a way that would previously seem nonsensical
maybe it’s controversial to say this but a downstream consequence of pretending certain forms of violence arent heavily gendered is enabling men to weaponize male victimization in their favour. these young men recognize, and take amusement in, that fact
Actually the worst thing you can show your kids is that you sacrificed your entire life for them. Not only does it make them feel guilty eventually about what you had to do for them, it also teaches them that marriage and children is an onerous burden they should avoid.
So many people have mentioned this, especially in the last few days. Even Rob's mom wondered whether there was any legal action to take. I get it in principle; I really do. But let's be real...these ppl don't got no money lol.
Also lemme just say that I first started seeing this specific brand of self-infantilization and paranoia in fandom spaces. While I understand if we’re talking about high schoolers, there are people who are fully in their 20s acting like this and it’s like
The central moral dilemma of Primetime is not whether predators deserve sympathy or even if the premise of the show is exploitative/wrong, it's questioning the satisfaction a society indulges in while punishing horrors it itself produces
It’s not lost on me that much of the leftish discourse surrounding disability and healthcare has started mirroring the right. It’s anti-science at its core. “Don’t trust doctors, trust your own research” type shit is dangerous on either side of spectrum.
minors on the internet used to pretend to be adults n mind their own business but now they pick fights with adults n try to be like "noooo you cant fight back after i tried to spread libel about you, im 17!!1!"
similarly to how opposition to the most toxic and abusive people invoking disability justice is often framed as coming from "ableds" or "fake leftists," this is a tactic that enables conflation of all members of a marginalized group with its most toxic and abusive adherents
as someone who really loves both, i can say that succession has incredible acting and writing, but mad men has all that too, plus an impeccable aesthetic, better cinematography, lighting and blocking, surrealism (!!!), and a plethora of fully realized female characters
I got deep into the COVID psychosis after it nearly killed me in 2020 and I spent months thinking I was some kind of expert because I read a bunch of unrelated studies and crackpot articles. That’s why I push back so hard now against it. I was dead wrong but fully convinced.
