I would love to say yes, but I dont think so. I mean it depends what the guy was previously known for, but it's really difficult because most men do in some way profit from their privileges - women are potential victims of guys like Cosby, and of rape culture (which already starts with the slut shaming), and hence I…

it was so cool to put Amals achievements into the spotlight. Also looked like she really enjoyed it

we should totally watch girls together and get angry at it!! :p

No she really doesn't, and what you add is also true: she does not work through her issues which for the show means that there is no critical reflection of what is actually going on

no I totally agree. It's also supposed to show "how it really is" - but at least in my environment the majority of relationships are not abusive and deeply misogynistic. It's more like a young persons imagination of how life must be like from the view of a depressed sexist 50 year old guy or so :)

I know! And also I feel like the asshole behavior of the guys is often depicted as "cool" and "manly". Adam is after all the guy who is oh so deeeeeply in love with her, and there is the one dude (gallerist?artist?) who hooks up later with Marnie, after telling her "That I am going to fuck you - and since I am a real…

sorry, I completely misread/misunderstood, but then corrected my post (obviously not fast enough). sorry again!

yeah, maybe...but I am still surprised there is so little criticism of its sexism..

1. Im confused since she tweeted just very recently

"Gender does not define our actions" - well in an ideal world I would agree with you, totally. But as it is now, I don't think it is true. For instance many men think it is necessary to prove themselves by sleeping with many women, or think of being monogamous as "unmanly". Not all men for sure, but many. Also not…

I have a question - how did you overcome this experience? After having experienced a cheating asshole bf I am kind of worried of generalizing his properties onto other men in the future..

um..wut?

wait I don't get it..was he married to you or to her? confused potatoe

I think you can't compare because this attack was also very symbolic. It's not about the number of deaths, but about the fact that the freedom of opinion is a very dearly hold principle in this part of the world - I can't remember a recent case where journalists were killed in western europe this systematically,…

Well degrading is already a starting point for potential exploitation imo (I am not blaming them personally, but our culture for this view). As soon as one thinks of a person as degraded, one does not attest the same value to the person (obviously) and in a further step also not the same rights. I've solved that…

might become my new way to respond to posts too. Sadly assuming my surprise level will never be above 3

Thank god it's "getting drunk time" for me soon.

But she says "two men who would not WANT to be even consensually penetrated". Anyway, my point is not to criticize her - it's about the fact that many men unfortunately do already perceive penetration as somehow devaluing...

yes, but you are contradicting yourself. If they think of regular sex already as threatening, they would have to see rape as even way more threatening - not less threatening as you put.
