A friend asked me if I was more disturbed because it was a man. Uh, no. More disturbed because someone was being raped.

When “Se7en” first used the conceit of the killer metal dildo, they did NOT show the rape scene itself— they just showed a Polaroid photo of the weapon, after the fact, and that was enough to make absolutely everyone scream and squirm. That is how you do horror!
It’s just so disgusting to me. I mean if you really feel that rape is just essential to your plot, just show enough to get the point across that it happened. It’s not like actually showing the brutality of rape in your fictional show is going to change anyone’s minds. Nobody is going to watch the 230th rape scene on…
I’m not one to say “AWAY WITH ALL RAPE SCENES” because even though they make me uncomfortable and I tend to fast-forward through them, they CAN at times serve a purpose.
Someone mentioned the rubbreman/Connie Britton scene in AHS1, while she wasn’t aware it was a rape at the time the audience sure as hell was. That…
I’m so exhausted by people shitting on monogamy. I don’t shit on your lifestyle choice, don’t shit on mine. And enough with the straw men. Monogamy isn’t imperative, we never said it was. You do you and STFU about it, for the love of god.
This is where I wind up, too. In general, unless someone is being hurt within a relationship (physically, mentally), I don’t view it as my business how anyone decides to conduct their private life. I have no issue with open relationships in their many incarnations. But we’re not talking about that. We’re talking about…
This is a very problematic topic. For example, if you have two people who both agree that they will marry but will be comfortable with some straying within some specific parameters, then hey! Go for it! I do believe that traditional marriage isn’t necessarily a one-size-fits-all thing.
Madeleine knows perfectly well how she feels about this movie’s existence and why she’s not seeing it, and that’s what she wrote about. You’re critiquing a critique that doesn’t exist.
That’s because none of them actually fight for anything remotely related to men’s rights. They just throw endless tantrums about how much they hate women and how rape isn’t real, and spend a lot of time publicly fantasizing about torturing and murdering them. Occasionally a feminist will try to engage them by saying,…
Starred for the Happy Endings gif because I miss that show like these bros miss getting some.
Shhh don’t give all our secrets away. You are too nice to them.
Welcome to the minefield we’re set loose upon at puberty (or before!). Your puzzlement is appreciated as this whole thing is so goddamn frustrating.
Crap like this double-standard (which stems from massive misogyny) is why I’m a raging feminist.
It puts them all on the same level so that the virgins won’t realize how awful these dudes are at the sex thing.
Welcome to being a woman, where your every sexual move (or non-move) is scrutinized to the nth degree.
That’s why this is misogyny - they came up with a convenient Catch-22 that “justifies” their hatred and, oh hey go figure, covers ALL women.
THATS NOT WHAT PORN SAYS
Guys, I’m like, so broken up that I won’t be able to marry an angry misogynist.
There is no bottom for this scum. They’ll just dynamite bedrock and keep going.
