In God’s ‘The Bible’, the main character Jesus is a very important person.
What’re some strategies you’ve used to shut down sexism when you encounter it? Like I never know what to say when it happens. Do you have some sentence frames or something thatve been effective?
It’s not complicated and dramatic for me like it was when I was 20. I’ve said stuff as simple as:
“Dude, you can’t say shit like that about her. It’s so disrespectful.”
“You’re taking your anger toward one woman and using it to judge all women. What if someone you were into did that to you?”
“You have to understand that women have to be more on the defensive about guys and respect that boundary no matter what your intentions are.”
“If you don’t like her profile then just don’t message her. Sending her mean shit is just bullying and you’re honestly too old for that.”
These are all paraphrases I can remember telling guy friends. I used to think I had to have a sit down conversation and quote bell hooks and shit, but it’s literally as simple as vocally and explicitly letting them know the behavior isn’t appropriate.
Do they instantly become feminists overnight? No. But do they respond to consistent correction done with care by someone who they’re cool with, someone who’s still there to grow with them the next day? Yeah, they do.
I just want to get a few things out of the way because I know tumblr and how they react to this.
-yes the cast is white Irish/Englishman portraying Eastern Europeans -Yes they speak in very English accents -yes there is a somewhat forced heterosexual subplot
But please. For the love of God. Don’t. Boycott it over this. This film is about genocide. About the systematic killing of Ukrainians. There has never been a film about this, it’s never taught in any history book, and to this day Russia denies it ever happened.
This movie is so critical, and as a Ukrainian I am begging you not to shit on it and go full sjw for not accurately depicting the people of the region. Believe me we, Ukrainians, do not fucking care that the representation is not 100% accurate. Seriously, every Ukrainian in the comments of the trailer is begging people to forget about the English accents and are just relieved people are finally learning about this. we want our story heard and we want the world to be aware of Ukrainian suffering and take interest in the nations current state of affairs. Please support Bitter Harvest when it comes out in February.

Hahaha, well, that was really a curious moment
Tuuuurn around….
The Avatar series could potentially make 2 more shows after Legend of Korra with an earth nation avatar and a fire nation avatar and I for one would not protest.
