Would you be anti-condom if you found out your parents almost used a condom to prevent you? or anti oral sex? Anti abstinence? That makes as much sense as being anti abortion for the reasons you described.

Disappointed she wasn’t mine.

They absolutely can be separated from the other. All of your actions aren’t linked back to your very first action. If someone is mean to me, I can forgive them for what they did, acknowledge what it took for them to apologize and all of that without condoning what they did.

No, there isn’t. You just seem to want this story to be about something other than it is.

Because we know how she got pregnant, we don’t need to question it, she was upfront about it. We also know that a woman admitting to the things she just admitted to can fuck a woman’s life up long-term in a way it won’t fuck up a man’s. It’s not treated as a dalliance when you get pregnant which falls squarely and…

I’m not criticizing Karan, she did what she had to do, it’s just that not one comment asks the question how she got pregnant in the first place.

Why? Did you read somewhere about how she parents her children? Seems like having a mom that’s open and honest about difficult life decisions would be fantastic.

What an awful situation to find yourself in. I don’t envy her.

A woman that was in a marriage openly talking about a relationship outside of that. Acknowledging she didn’t know who the father was. Discussing that and abortion with her husband. Husband supporting that decision.

I am just so proud of her.

As I stated in another comment, calling it fascist is probably overblown. I am aware that many people read the book differently, and see it more as a discussion of a limited franchise and responsibility.

Skipped to the comments before reading the article. I assume the author and I read the same interview.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. Read a lot of Heinlein’s work including Starship Troopers and ... well the movie is more fun.

Given Heilein’s statements after the book, it seems fair to assume that he more or less supports the philosophical arguments made therein. It’s probably more accurate to point out that the book isn’t necessarily fascist and to claim that it is misrepresents/overstates the arguments Heinlein was making.

When they weren’t leaning towards socialism (Tunnel In The Sky) or libertarianism (The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress, The Cat Who Walks Through Walls) or authoritarian theocracy (Stranger in a Strange Land, and at least one other I can’t recall right now.) Or corporate oligarchy (Friday.)

Supposedly the cast and extras only agreed to that shower scene if Verhoeven stripped too. So he did, and directed naked.

Just starred you. I'm doing my part!

I would like to know more.

Plus NPH’s military intelligence outfit is, like, straight up Nazi. The other movies may be trash, and this might be a “terrible” adaption of the book, but it’s a great film once you get what’s really going on.

I saw this movie on a first date. I loved the movie, did not get a second date.
