Lots of Latin American countries are SUPER Catholic...and frankly, the American South isn’t terribly Catholic...most of the religious people down there are actually Baptist or Evangelical and, ironically, think Catholics are going to hell.
Any number of Latin American countries, plus places like Ireland, the Phillipines, Poland...
This is more sinister than you think.
Still haven’t watched her concession speech. I will never watch that concession speech. I will gouge my eyes out before doing that. It’d be less painful.
My husband, who does swing from dreamy, house-cleaning, laundry-doing modern guy to complete WTF asshole, has actually said that I’ve been “in a mood” since the election. You are correct, sir. If anything, the results of this election have led me to be more conscious of slights, lightly-masked gaslighting, and subtle…
Even if I weren’t just terribly sad because our country is now presided over by an orange hobgoblin and the news is terrifying every night, I’m like just GENUINELY SAD FOR HER. I’m sad because she worked so hard, I’m sad because she had so much abuse hurled towards her, but I think mostly I’m sad because she will…
I’m finally ahead of the curve on something!
nothing
Because it feels personal. The message that was sent to women all over the world is that no matter what, we will never be good enough. Even Donald Fucking Trump, old, stupid, ignorant, arrogant, ugly, fat, unqualified, spoiled, lazy, entitled, racist, selfish,sexist, sexual predator, Donald Fucking Trump is better…
I was sobbing when I watched the coverage of this speech on the news this morning.
It takes a long time to mourn and heal from something you were passionate/close to. I still tear up about it...probably will for a while.
I just want to say (because none of the recaps/comments I obsessively read seem to have mentioned) that even before he yanked her hair he was demonstrating multiple abusive behaviors. He’s been saying that he’s starting to dislike the time she spends with Madeline, and he “surprised” her by coming home in time to stop…
The problem isn’t laughing about the fake dong. It’s this description: Celeste rejected his sexual offer
Sad considering the episode last night with the therapist where she says people will say exactly that. “She’s a beautiful lawyer. This would never happen!” When in reality this happens to women with and without power, education, or beauty every day.
I don’t think the show intends for us to think she’s lying to her therapist. She gives in because she knows there is no real choice. They are explicit about it.
...said the huge real dick.
I think giving into the sex at times might be a way for Celeste to physically protect herself. Like if he’s fucking her, at least he isn’t hitting or trying to kill her, and once he gets what he wants, he leaves her alone.
I’ve found the line between consent and rape in all of their sexual interactions very, very thin.
