I agree with what you wrote, and got reamed on here for expressing a similar view on a previous article about her op-ed. It’s ridiculous for her or anyone to sell this movie as some sort of platform to discuss rape and consent. It’s a fucking historically inaccurate product and we don’t need to be consumers of it to…

I have enjoyed reading Gabrielle’s perspective as a survivor. But is she saying she understands b/c of the historically inaccurate rape scenes Parker and Celestin felt it necessary to include in the movie or b/c of the accusations against them? I can’t get the context. But I take issue with both, personally.

“There is a particular pain that black women feel that I don’t think black men understand and it’s a pain that comes from feeling like we do a lot of labor that we are not emotionally compensated for, or publicly compensated for or appreciated for.”

So that means everyone is going to watch the new season of Being Mary Jane to support her right? RIGHT?
