She takes issue with her husband. He is in the film, it’s about a marriage. It’s clear that he’s the one she’s taking issue with. Naming someone (or some people) outside that marriage would be problematic for a number of reasons, and would be unnecessary because that person would be extraneous to the marriage, the…

Yeah. I didn’t throw that in to try to say anything about your use of the word. I use it too, it definitely means something that’s hard to describe otherwise.

Hey, but this way we got to have a respectful, mature convo in the comments section on a gawker site. A rare and welcome opportunity!

The concept is most basically about betrayal and forgiveness in a relationship (personal - seemingly autobiographical) in the context of patriarchy and white supremacy…

They were children. Their social universe (ie all of us) clearly failed them, certainly, based on the fact that they have records. Children should not be allowed to feel they have nothing to lose, and be unsupervised, and made to feel so alienated from their communities that they don’t feel the laws make sense. That…

Why is he buying from the breeders he’s trying to make illegal? He’s perpetuating the demand for what they’re selling, and as long as breeding is profitable (ie as long as he is buying) someone will sell to him, legal or not.
