Your commitment to remaining uninformed is truly impressive. |
This boy mom vs girl mom debate is stupid. Props to the incredible man who wrote and starred in this show, Stephen Graham, who played Jamie’s Dad. Just give this guy an Emmy now. His performance was phenomenal, especially in the last episode. |
My son was a sophomore at George Mason about 6 years ago. In a cultural studies program class the professor asked all the white males to stand up and "apologize" for the wrongs their fathers and grandfathers had committed. If you don't think white males are subject to harassment and unjust discrimination you really are either a happy bigot or clueless af. |
Where’s the “girl mom” post? In your head? I thought the show was phenomenal. |
All those UK crime shows are just so drab and full of despair and no beauty or joy. If life in the UK is like this then not sure how people do it. This one was especially hard to watch and I gave up on it. It was 100% well acted and directed and the topic interesting, but just too depressing. |
While I'm sure something happened, I do not for one minute believe it was as your son perceived. As you were not there, you cannot say either way. And while I'm sure they are discriminated against, it's laughable that you think it is on par with what women and POC experience every day. |
Anyone remember the show Prisoners’ Wives? |
I have two ADHD kids, one boy, one girl. EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING. Also verbal social skills. The prefrontal cortex of girls brains are age faster than boys. So, girls, on average are a couple of years ahead of boys in executive functioning than boys. You take 6-7 classes, plus sports, plus leadership plus college apps plus volunteering and cram them all into a day. Now do with lagging EF. I thought boys and girls started with the same baseline to. Until I had one of each. Then it was like— ohhhh. Girls are also more verbally adept and socialize through talking more (which is less nature and. More interesting, nuanced nature-nurture thing. As a society, we still encourage girls, more than boys, to express their feelings. And tells boys to “man up”). I never would have said this before having. Boy, then a girl, and seeing them, then their friends, and having mom friends who had both, or just one gender. But, in I do see the pluses of single gender education in 2025– and at this point, I think it would benefit boys more than girls (not all boys or all girls, but for many boys and girls, it would be a plus to not be competing and to have classrooms that focused on how they learn best). |
Whatever. |
They announced season 2. |
I was moved by the dad saying he thought he had done so much better than his dad because he didn’t beat his children like he had been beaten, but that wasn’t enough. Although we as parents try and do better, we don’t know what we don’t know.
My dad had a temper and hit us. I swore I’d never do that and I didn’t. But I could see myself being unintentionally disappointed in my children at times because of something I didn’t work out about myself. But I didn’t know what I didn’t know. |
Universities, along with FCPS, are openly hostile towards cisgender white males in the classroom: https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/14/sons-freshman-orientation-virginia-tech-full-leftist-propaganda/ |
The show is not about blaming the girl or anyone, it’s just going over events as they happened and what lead to the young girls tragic death. Nobody is a saint |
It definitely blamed the friend who lent him the zombie knife used in the murder. |
This is an extremely well written, well acted (esp the young male actor playing Jamie and the father), and well directed series. That said, people are getting caught up in the faulty notion that working class white tweens are out there stabbing girls over Andrew Tate stuff. That just isn't happening, nor is it a real threat on any broad scale.
