I literally can’t get myself to sit through movies that don’t have women. I’m like where the fuck are the women? Why are there so many men? This is boring as fuck goodbye
Even if it’s historically accurate?
as everyone knows, women were invented in 1990
All the notes of “women weren’t on old time battlefields” are wrong. There were more prostitutes and merchant women than there were soldiers in most every encampment. They followed the armies, marching alongside them, and notably ran the camps.
Many more women dressed as men to fight.
Long before female nurses were officially considered to be a part of the military, they were already on the battlefield. They merely didn’t get written into official reports because they were “invisible women”, “not supposed to be there”. Usually they would be local women running a makeshift care center out of their homes.
Movies involving ancient societies? Guess how many had female fighters?
Spies? Mostly female. Yeah, only the men were caught, usually (because nobody suspected the servant woman), but historians believe most cases had more women spies than men. Most cases meaning across time and continents.
Giving me a movie on samurai? Women were trained as well to avoid being captured and raped, and often fought just as hard as men. One woman notably survived multiple battles, and became a hero alongside her sisters after taking out 7 men before dying in her last fight (usually in sword fighting you’d be lucky to take out 2 enemy soldiers. 7 is fucking insane, but because she was a woman it was shoved under the records how the lord managed to survive).
Women have ALWAYS been on battlefields. Women have an intense history in driving victories and losses alike. They were supply runners, fighters, spies, assassins, prostitutes (look up how prostitutes essentially ran the western world, or even the social status of harem members. They literally fucking ruled), even underground activists.
The only time there weren’t many women were with cowboys. Actual western cowboys tended to be both POC and gay. In fact, any time women didn’t have a near equal or greater presence, there was a LOT of gay men.
History: either 80% female or 100% gay. And it’s 95% POC.
So on average, 33% of lines in media go to female characters, 67% go to male characters.
You’d think a TV series about a town with no men would improve on that, not have more inequality.
I was looking forward to this but after seeing the tweet, I decided to do a little digging before taking out a new subscription to see it. What I found isn’t heartening.
Far from Godless as being about “a quiet town populated only by women” it’s as big of a sausage fest as you’re likely to find outside of gay porn.
Of the 23 cast members credited in all 7 episodes, 17 are men (78%) and only 5 are women (22%).
The show has 106 cast members in total. 74 are men (70%) & 32 women (30%)
Of the total cast, 54 male characters (72%) get given a name, like Bob.
Only 17 female characters (53%) are worthy of a name though.
Some unnamed gems include Jacob’s Wife, Truckee’s Piute Grandmother, and Seventeen-year-old girl (is there a character-driven reason this unnamed character has to be 17? wouldn’t it have been easier to just call her Pam?)
Needless to say, there is no male equivalent, so no Sue’s husband, Shelly’s grandfather or 17-year-old-boy.
Hey @netflix with your “women only” town, YOU’RE ACTUALLY DOING WORSE THAN THE SEXIST INDUSTRY STANDARD!
creating venom without spider-man has created the greatest dynamic between eddie and venom that has ever existed. they aren’t bonding over being hating peter parker, they’re bonding over the fact that they’re both complete losers. they’re two losers that love to eat junk food out of the trash and they can combine together to form an eight foot tall space monster.
The point being, despite our need to simplify and generalize absolutely everyone and everything in this life, humans are intrinsically impossible to simplify. We are never just good or just bad. We are mosaics of our worst selves and our best selves, our deepest secrets, and our favorite stories to tell at a dinner party, existing somewhere between our well-lit profile photo and our driver’s license shot. We are all a mixture of our selfishness and generosity, loyalty and self-preservation, pragmatism and impulsiveness. I’ve been in the public eye since I was 15 years old. On the beautiful, lovely side of that, I’ve been so lucky to make music for a living and look out into crowds of loving, vibrant people. On the other side of the coin, my mistakes have been used against me, my heartbreaks have been used as entertainment, and my songwriting has been trivialized as ‘oversharing’.
We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them that they have chosen to show us. There will be no further explanation. There will be just reputation.
