Damn, you’re a step ahead of me. That’s one of the examples I was going to point out. They were wrestling around. It’s all girls and women in this house, and it’s not uncommon for us to do that. No pillow fights in our underwear, though - I paid too much for these pillows to be doing that with them. Sorry if I shattered an illusion here.
If there were strikes being thrown, or one was yelling for the other to stop, or even an adult just told them, “okay, don’t let it get out of hand”, that would be one thing. We must be horrible women for engaging in that sort of thing?
That’s the other scene which stuck out particularly. There is absolutely zero backstory or context to that one. Nothing stating the guy intended to be an asshole, he just went to approach a woman, and we’re to assume him guilty of… something? Did him and the second guy know each other? Did the second guy know something about the first guy which the rest of us don’t? No idea. Now I’m pretty sure my parents, as well as the parents of those responsible for the content of that ad didn’t meet on Tinder, Bumble, EHarmony, etc. I don’t know… maybe some of them did, but not the shot callers behind that ad’s being.
What if he approached her tactfully, she said she wasn’t interested, and he respectfully disengaged? Then no crime was averted. Again, they could’ve made it something actually decent. E.g., random catcalling and guy #2 steps up and says, “hey, cut the shit already”. Or if he was harassing her and the second guy stepped up and told him to stop. Or if the second even just said, “hey, she looks like she’s in a hurry, right now might not be a good time”. But there’s none of that.
