It says a LOT to me if you watch this show and not only miss the good men in it, but immediately have a knee jerk reaction where you angrily go post on reddit like “when I saw how incompetent they made all the men I thought oh come on”. Almost like their knee jerk reaction is to somehow defend the reputation of hypothetical men, or themselves. (bc they’re part of that pyramid that keeps things going, being dismissive any time this topic comes up)

like good for you that you’ve never been in a work environment where your good work wasn’t just ignored but a man’s not just mediocre but SHIT work was praised over yours bc of their boys’ club. There are so many shades of misogyny that “technically” don’t fall under illegal and are incredibly hard to track as well but are absolutely rampant and create fertile ground for even worse behavior.

And these people also sleep sound at night acting like the only place you can find evil p*dos is in Epstein’s circle and not in every fucking socioeconomic class - and the women who enable them.

Yeah i’m a survivor obviously but I watched this w my boyfriend and he’s just as furious (hehe), because he’s heard the things I’ve been through and he’s heard how some men talk when there aren’t any women around. It really takes a special type of asshole to be angry at these types of men being accurately portrayed on TV.

The generous interpretation would be they don’t wanna accept misogyny and harassment and abuse of is so rampant, but in doing that they literally have close their ears and eyes so hard every time something like this happens. And they definitely aren’t the type of people who seem safe to the women around them, all huffin and puffin at the actual evil in this world being portrayed on TV instead of having just an OUNCE of curiosity about whether these things really happen and at what rate. God I’m so pissed. I am…furious hehe

We’re given some insight that pollution is something that was supposedly “solved” bc of the birth rate dropping precipitously, but almost zero inkling of how they dismantled the existing power relations that furthered the destruction of our planet by endless profit motive.

It makes so little sense because women’s reproductive rights are the main focus here, but how is any of this possible when the patriarchy is inherently linked to capitalism (with a slight neoliberal “progressive” veneer? The people who hold most power in business, finance, government is MEN, and they have that power bc they exploit the working class, and patriarchal relations are influenced by that (marriage is how even the lowliest man gets his own maid and incubator, it’s how the poorest men uphold capitalist interests instead of fighting against them- just how poor white people are satisfied as long as they have Black people to look down upon).

Like it’s just weird to me, how did the enormous power apparatus actually change when so much of how powerful people are in power is so interlinked with the destruction of our planet? And even more weirdly christofascists mostly ARE hyper capitalist (prosperity gospel and all), and imperialist, and all sorts of other horrible planet destroying ideologies.

So someone please explain lmao.

Because we already know we’re hurdling towards climate catastrophe and the people at the top remain happy to destroy it as long as they can be “king of the ashes”.

I can see the productive oppression happening (as it already does lmao), but these fuckers ain’t turning “green” any time soon lmao.
