The rawness of Melanie’s movie night moment made me cry for my younger self
When I saw how powerful that young woman was in that moment, it embodied so much of all of us, women living under the patriarchy. It doesn’t matter what age we are we all feel it in various ways. The ironically named SINCERE has created a narrative in his own head. He decides who he’s going to be “sincere“ to what he does is consistently create scenarios where he feels like he is the smarter person in the room when you listen to him have conversations with these women you hear him say things like:
To Amora: I wouldn’t be giving you 100% and that would be unfair to you
He plays himself at the center of every narrative and that’s not people pleasing that is narcissism.
What is so interesting to me is how Melanie is dealing with it. She knows that he is a person that cannot be trusted, but the systems in place including the love Island scenario is forcing her to look past what her intuition tells her.
I’m very interested to hear everybody’s thoughts. I appreciate everybody on this platform and I think all thoughts are valid.
