Seriously if men drugged and robbed women...
For as long as commercial film making has been in existence, storylines have included or blatantly celebrated misogyny, relegating female characters to that of loyal, imbecilic wife, fuckpiece, or punching bag. All of the moralizing over how utterly despicable this storyline and behavior of the protagonists is makes…
I mean I’ve consumed about 1,976,532,628 movies/tv-shows/books (give or take) about morally ambiguous/downright evil men, and I haven’t yet lost my ability to tell right from wrong yet. I doubt seeing this movie will be what tips the scale.
Wow, do I have some things to tell you about Pocahontas!
Increasingly, I think mothers create misogynistic creeps. Fathers may be responsible for juvenile shit like gun fetishism and macho fuckery, but mothers “protecting their sons” seems to give boys and young men a huge head start in developing sexist and misogynistic attitudes.
But all sex work is not trafficking. Trafficking would still be illegal. Decriminalizing sex work will let people who do sex work under their own volition a chance to actually utilize police and the legal system to do their work safely. I’m not saying that everyone who does sex work is magically “empowered” or love it…
I’m not quite sure about that from a basic economic and political viewpoint.
So, it’s legal to sleep with someone and then after the deed is done, ask if they can loan you some cash. But, if you ask beforehand, you are the most degenerate of people. The US is so fucking prudish it’s disgusting. Yet another way they want to control women’s bodies (honestly, I don’t think they think about…
“But I wouldnt want to live in a society that upholds or says its ok for anyone to think that they should use their bodies for gain, especially not women.”

I think that specific pink pom-pom/crystal headband thing is defo a rip off of the video. But the actual model doesn’t look that much like Ariana.
When Blackfishing come back to bite you on the ass. The girl doesn’t look like Ariana. Girl acting like she invented pink and ponytails.
A weird thing about this premise is that Hollywood is pretty skittish around sex, or at least showing it honestly, and it seems like that would really handicap this basic story. If you have to somewhat play coy around sex for the sake of ratings or whatever, I imagine you’re not entirely engaging with the emotional…

I can think of 130,000 reasons.
Because no matter their feelings, political animals will always choose the “pragmatic” approach in order to solidify their relationship to centers of power.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall kinda destroys both of these movies.
“Yes, I understand you want the same basic civil rights as cis people, but have you considered we may have to slightly change the way sports work? Have you?!”
Honestly, I think TERFs (at least female TERFs) have a lot of internalized misogyny. They hate the fact that they are women because of the influence of the patriarchy and they can’t believe anyone would willingly choose to be a woman. Even though they might consider themselves feminist they’ve still absorbed the…
