First comments/question:
Were people really this casually misogynistic in the time period, or was that the movie specifically?
Oooh, from the comments: sorry for bringing up so much trauma and PTSD. 😬
@ai6yr Yes. And very homophobic.
You don't want to know the mnemonic sentence I was taught -- in high school -- to remember the resistor color code.
@ai6yr OMFG some of the comments the partners at one of the big three consulting firms (where I worked in the 90s) used to make about the women in the office - from the secretaries to the consultants too. It was DISGUSTING. Still remember the holiday party where practice partner was practically mauling one of the secretaries while his wife sat uncomfortably at a table nearby. Misogynists and CREEPS.
Worse. They just got their asses kicked in the recent election. I distinctly remember how routine it was at literally every place I worked including the gay one.
@ai6yr According to my mom? Yes.
@ai6yr
Yes, very much so. Not just the movie.
@ai6yr
Openly casually misogynistic. Now they hide it better.
Enjoy the gang r*pe.
@EugestShirley Oh geez, this may not be so entertaining...
@ai6yr @EugestShirley it is a really hard movie. The music success skewed its perception for the general public.
@ai6yr
Yes, very much so.
@ai6yr Saw it in the theater (maybe first run). It's nothing like the reputation it has.
@ai6yr Could give you some tailoring ideas 💡 🧵
@ai6yr yikes, brace yourself it is gritty
@ai6yr @beandreams Oh, yeah, it's a lot heavier than it appears on the surface.
I forgot about the details it's been so long.
@ai6yr wow.
You're gonna see Travolta with hair. 😂
@ai6yr
I firmly believe today, and recent decades, "period piece" shows are a way to retain racist/misogynist role knowledge in pop media. All of them.
