    And if you are unlucky, police will stop you, ticket you and tell you to tow your vehicle home.

    That’s actually if you’re lucky my dude.

    If you’re really really unlucky then you slam your truck into a minivan full of kids on their way to school and kill them all because you decided to drive through a layer of Vaseline ice on your windshield and endanger everyone else around you.

    …it was a tongue-in-cheek reply to the dismissive retort of the person I was responding to…the tone of which was meant to convey the ridiculousness of the statement, which they heavily edited to be far less sexist, to their credit.

    Also how would you like me to not recognize the disparity imparted by their “genitals” in a comment discussing how the people with openings for genitals were allowed special treatment at this time, and less so at later times. It’s literally the entire context.

    For sure.

    It’s just once they got back home they still weren’t allowed to vote, grow professional careers, get equal access to higher education, own their own property while with a man because of coverture laws, be allowed to play in athletic sports or form leagues, hold any real position of political power, get a divorce easily to escape abusive relationships, allowed to be legally raped by their spouses as much as he wanted while having zero reproductive rights, etc.

    Just some give and take for that one day for some unlucky dudes, as you put it.

    Naw it’s a sweet love story with a standard loss ending.

    Rose’s motivations are primarily driven by her desire for freedom and independence. She feels trapped by her wealthy but oppressive family and her engagement to the controlling and wealthy Caledon.

    She’s looking for a way to escape her life and find her own identity. This leads her to a deep emotional connection with Jack. Her motivations are centered on breaking free from the constraints of her upper-class background and pursuing a life of her own choosing, which ultimately culminates in her decisions and actions throughout the film. He represents everything she’s yearned for.

    Plus he’s really hot, so that helps.



  • So much this.

    My little brother is religious AF and I’m an atheist, and that whole tidbit was one of the more frustrating things to argue against.

    He’d INSIST that if I didn’t have faith in God, I must have faith in something, because it’s human nature to believe.

    It’s like, naw bro, maybe that’s just YOUR nature, but it’s like he just couldn’t think outside that type of thing.
