I don’t understand how a gender swapped Overboard is supposed to work. Given that even in 2017 that most men don’t do their equal share of the housework and childrearing, what on earth is to be gained by convincing an amnesiac rich guy that he’s poor AND your husband? Taking on a fake husband seems like it would be…

Agreed. He pulled off some really irresponsible stunts. It was bad enough that he ordered the bomber squadron on a suicide run, but when you realize that the bomber squad made up more than half of the Resistances remaining forces it makes the decision even more ridiculous.

Poe was a terrible Captain that killed his own people through his rash actions. He should be in the worse.

1000% this.

I have.

Poe flat out disobeyed orders from Leia earlier in the film. Holdo didn’t need to tell him shit. Poe was a big disappointment for me in this movie. I very much hope he learns and grows into a better leader after this. If the Rebellion wasn’t in such bad shape I would want him sitting in the brig for a good long time.

Oh right. Women don’t get to tell men what to do because reasons. Poe got to do what he did because he was MAD and that’s OK. She totally should have sat down with him and cradled his poor little head and let him know that everything was going to be alright...

Following orders doesn’t make a great story arc, that’s why…

They had only very few ships in the rebellion, and the Star would be large enough and with enough mass and shields to deflect or soak up those hits.

sigh.

This is the part that irritates the ish out of me. While I understand the why, don’t take that out on me for having home training and using said home training when I interact with you.

Maybe there’s a reason the women in your life don’t feel comfortable talking about their experience in this world as women with you in particular, or maybe they have tried and you just don’t listen

Do you have a mother? Or girl cousins, aunties, a sister? Not being cheeky, I’m really asking. Many men recognize safety issues and disrespect when it comes to protecting their precious mothers and family but then act completely oblivious to the same incidents with women who are their peers. For instance, Mr. ARay…

Not this shit again. You’re the dude who swore you didn’t know how approach” women in that other thread and wanted us to give you a full comprehensive list on how to pursue us.

If you think I’m attacking you then you are the problem. I’m not fixing the way I speak to you simply because you don’t like what I’m saying. Save it for someone else foolish enough to listen to you. I don’t need your help. Help yourself.

I wouldn’t expect a woman to know if problems men have are common or not.

I see there are men that were born from other men, who have been raised by only men, have attended only men schools, worked in only manly places.

It doesn’t happen to you because y’all are the ones doing it to us. I refuse to believe that you went your entire life without a woman in your life telling you that she once felt unsafe, threatened or scared of another man. Quit the scapegoating.

For a man, being ditched at a party is an inconvenience; for a woman it can be a death sentence. Classic male centered worldview.

Eh I disagree with it being an “idiot plot point.” Keep in mind that Holdo had no idea that Poe and Finn were planning some insane plot behind her back. As far as she was concerned, her plan was working fine without any hitches, so there was no reason to tell a dumbass, hothead pilot who had just been demoted. Her not…

It was not on her to explain herself to Poe. It was on Poe to have faith in her leadership. As soon as he finds out her plan, he plans a mutiny. Because he thinks he knows better. He’d have done the mutiny earlier if she’d told him. That’s all. If he’d followed orders like everyone else in the Resistance, the plan…
