Another gentle reminder that shows husbands and fathers get wage premiums & faster promotions. Mothers get penalties at work for the decision to become mothers. Trying to grow a family is beneficial only for men. Pretending that men are sacrificing anything and women are only enjoying is gross minimisation.
Modern movies are desperately trying to revive romance, but they will fail, and it will keep failing
And it is because modern love stories have confused sexual explicitness with romance.
The art of longing is long gone. But it’s such a testimony to the desires of the masses.
We used to make movies that depicted true love and romance where one single hand touch had us all feeling the desire to experience the same love.
It wasn’t a bedroom scene
A sex scene
Not even a single kiss
it was a hand touch
And that was enough to convey the entire message.
Now we sit and watch entire lite pornographic scenes, being told that this is romance, this is passion, this is a story of lovers, and yet we wonder why after seeing everything we feel absolutely nothing.
I think we should adopt some grandma habits, knitting, tea hours, midday naps, baking goods, reading on a rocking chair, puzzles, and taking like slowly.
