Relationship Discussion (non-explicit)
This absolutely. Women who say they don’t like hanging with other women because “women are all drama,” or “women are just crazy.” They are such “pick me” women and it’s sad. Also, women who expect other women to deal with sexist BS because “that’s what I dealt with.” I think this can be common in-law relationships. |
| Purity culture and/or the idea that sex has anything to do with one's 'value'. |
The difference is that assuming she does it would mean assuming she is like the majority of women in hetero relationships. There are studies that show that women do the majority or all of emotional labor. That doesn’t mean the MIL thinks it’s okay. Maybe somebody who assumed a particular woman does all the emotional labor hates the idea and thinks that she should get a divorce, you know? |

Saying things like it's okay to be abusive because pms or pregnancy or being disappointed by something.
That's not supporting women it's actually reinforcing negative stereotypes that have been used to justify keeping women out of leadership roles" they're too emotional" |
The issue is he was fired from the Pirates of the Caribbean stuff but Amber Heard is still in a move that many people have talked about wanting her to be fired. Her scenes were cut but she is in it. Women who are accused don’t get the same punishment as men, in celeb life or real life. We have a huge issue with women ( specifically teachers) harm young guys and getting away with it with just probation or 1-2 years while a man would get 20 years for the exact crime. We are soft on crime when it comes to women in this country more than we are men. We look the other way for abusive women, but the man is cancelled at the first whisper of an accusation. It’s sexist. |
I understand the point you’re making but the facts don’t support them. The *fact* is that women are most likely to be killed by their partners, which is not true for men. The FBI says 70% of intimate-partner deaths are women. Also…I think it may be incorrect to say men are “cancelled” at a “whisper” of an allegation because, again, there’s Johnny Depp in a major motion picture, making millions. That’s a kind of cancelled a lot of people aspire to. |
Only the third example has even a whiff of internalized mysogyny. The fact that you think that women who are friends with men is the problem means that you do probably have internalized mysogyny yourself. You hate women and clearly compete with them. |
I feel zero sympathy for Depp. He knew he was working for Disney, who will do anything to protect their family friendly branding. He knew that he would get fired for any misconduct. If he wanted to protect his career, he should have cut ties with Heard early on (or ideally not get involved at all, because he left the mother of his children for Heard who was 25. Bad move, very bad look). I just can’t feel bad for these men who get fame, leave their wife and kids for a woman young enough to be their daughter because they “deserve” it, drink and do drugs, and then get upset when it affects their career. You really thought people would cheer you on for being a douche? You really thought things would work out with a 23 year old? SMH. |
But I’m sure you would feel bad if Depp was a women. I’m sure you feel bad for Heard. |
We are not talking about that. We are talking about this specific case where the woman is the abuser but has suffered no consequences for her actions because she is a woman. |
You trying to justify heards behavior and Depps abuse at her hands by talking a bout statistics shows just how much you hate men. |
Work in your reading comprehension. I didn’t say women who are friends with men, I say women who say they prefer being friends with men, who describe themselves as guys girls. |
From the above references to women teachers, and men getting “20 years” it doesn’t seem like you’re referring to this specific case? Because Amber Heard is certainly no teacher and Johnny Depp is not going to spend a minute in jail. |
I’m sorry I seem to have triggered you but I didn’t “justify” anything, I refuted the idea that somehow the domestic violence situation in the United States is “a huge issue” of women beating men. That isn’t the case. It is also not the case that Depp had “his career taken away” while simultaneously starring in a Harry Potter movie. My hottake from the Depp/Heard situation, which I haven’t followed closely, is that they’re both profoundly damaged people, one of whom had more resources than the other. |
THIS, EXACTLY!! |
