Unfortunately Netflix won’t do anything. Too many people are watching or partially watching this movie. It shows how normalized violence against women is in entertainment.

I saw someone on Twitter put it like this: we shut off the water to fix a broken pipe, but now we are turning the water back on without bothering to actually fix the pipe.

Then when we’re dead, we’re so amazing, wholesome, maternal, feminine, doting, generous, soft, obiedient, and kind. We’re a blank canvass for whatever anyone wants!

‘There is nothing, Lady Galadriel’, said Gimli, bowing low and stammering. ‘Nothing, unless it might be - unless it is permitted to ask, nay, to name a single strand of your hair, which surpasses the gold of the earth as the stars surpass the gems of the mine. I do not ask for such a gift. But you commanded me to…

Hazel, I really enjoyed your take, but I have to disagree with the overall thesis. Disclaimer: I am a Gaga stan.

I have a hatred for GHW Bush that will accompany me to my grave (because so many I loved went to their graves or suffered for his policies).

In our town, it was the white protestors setting fires, breaking windows, and looting, and the black activists asking them to stop, esp. when the black=clad, balaclava-wearing white dudes were trying to destroy local, minority-owned businesses.

Yep, she needed the ability to keep him away from her for a period of time and him locked up currently is her out. If she left him any other time, he could track her down with a callout on her license and such.

I have a slightly different take on that: If he doesn’t tell his wife—who clearly values honesty—about this, then she can’t make a choice as to whether or not being with him is right for her. And that’s the rub.

I’d like someone to come up with the Karen equivalent of the white dude who coaches his kids’ sports teams and talks down to (or screams at) every black or Latinx referee who calls a foul on his kid.

I have only one question: Who were her friends at the Birthday party that let her be taken unconscious from the restaurant after she was drugged?

It is infuriating that she has to beg people to believe her because she knows most people are operating from the default of disbelief on rape. The phrase “cry rape” itself comes with the picture of hysterical women built into its meaning.

How does any sort of Puerto Rican heritage qualify her to write about Mexican immigrants?  

a white woman who identifies as Latina (she says she is a third-generation Puerto Rican)

The fact that the kid said she shouldn’t quit performing because she makes bank is also incredibly sad.  Britney has long been the family ATM - I wish they showed her more respect.

I mean, she’s practically begging for it.

She never should have put herself in the position to be criticized. 

Because wishing sexual assault on people is not a thing I do.

Also Gal Gadot is too beautiful for that styling..
