    Watching a crime show, and the detective is like, “No woman could’ve committed a crime so grisly as this,” and I’m like, “Fuck you! Women can do anything!”

        Fun? fact: women get more empathy than men by both sexes (which is why thrillers always have a woman as victim), and so women get statistically somewhat lighter sentences for the same crime

        Anyway I can fix her!!

          After reading your comment, I want to put out a challenge to all filmmakers to make a film where a strong, independent, capable man needs to be rescued by other people without emasculating him in the process.

          The only thing that comes to mind is in Monty Python’s quest for the holy grail when Lancelot is rescued from the castle anthrax.

    I agree, but only on a spectrum.

    Like, if they shoplift makeup from Sephora, hell yeah.

    If they murder people and eat their bodies, I mean at least they’re recycling.

    But there are female pedophiles and I’m not cool with that.
