I'm really impressed by the fact that when men are faced with a situation like this, they usually do nothing, but a woman doesn't think twice before putting herself in front to help the other one.. and then they still say that men are our protectors, anyway
Every stereotype about women that men made up, is just men projecting. misogyny is basically men writing fanfiction about women and then getting angry when women refuse to play the characters they invented.
I once sat with a girl who told me she had been raped.
She had gone to spend the night at her boyfriendâs house, & he spiked her drink.
She woke up to signs of sexual assault â confused, scared, & hurt.
I told her we could go together to make a police report.
I sat beside her as the officer said things like:
âYou shouldnât have gone over there.â
âYou shouldnât have stayed the night.â
âYou shouldnât have accepted a drink.â
âYou shouldnât have been drinking alcohol at all.âïżŒ
Every word he said was about what she did wrong â not about what was done to her.
I corrected him. I told him that none of the choices she made were her fault.
None of this was her fault.
He was the one who drugged and assaulted her. Itâs not ok to say itâs her fault. He was shocked and mumbled well ânoâ
Instead of taking her report with professionalism, without judgment, without bias â he made her feel blamed.
She left without filing charges.
This is how rape culture persistsïżŒ
bro to bro: if you like skinnier girls, get yourself a skinny girl. if you like thicker girls, get yourself a thick girl. if you like fitness girls, get yourself a fit girl. you are entitled to your own preferences.
but what you are not going to do bro, is date a girl who is not your type and make her feel inferior to other girls.
My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
Country Grammy before her dad, Golden Globe nominations before her ex Liam, and a solo Walk of Fame star before her Disney peers. And having this song tied to it is just the cherry on top. Sheâs truly a diva and an absolute legend.
i have watched tumor on the wall so many times that i can play it in my head start to finish with my eyes closed AND IT STILL HITS EVERYTIME⊠THE BUZZ OF HIM VISUALLY EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM TO HIS SURGERY JUNKIE WIFE AND THAT HELPING HIM FIND A SOLUTION??
You ever scroll through Netflix on a Friday night and think⊠âdamn, they really donât make movies for people like me anymoreâ?
Matt Damon gave the most straightforward explanation Iâve heard for why that feeling is everywhere.
Back in the DVD era, studios could make smart, mid-budget movies because the home release gave them a second big payday. Then DVDs died. Suddenly a $25M film like Behind the Candelabra needed $100M at the box office just to break even. That math killed off the kind of thoughtful, character-driven stories a lot of us grew up loving.
Itâs not some grand conspiracy. Itâs cold economics.
This clip actually made me a bit sad for what weâve lost â those mid-tier movies that felt made for grown-ups. Iâve been on a 90s/early 2000s rewatch kick lately and the difference is striking.
When only massive franchises are safe bets, we all end up with less variety and fewer stories that actually reflect real life.
Whatâs a movie (or type of movie) you genuinely miss that Hollywood barely makes anymore?
