❤️ Top 3 best things a woman has said to you?

🎭 What's the best piece of media you've enjoyed recently?

🍠 If someone called you right now to catch up, what're the things you'd tell them about?

Omg these questions are so good!

❤️ A woman on here once told me she appreciated how I spoke up for disabled women, and even though it's "just" tumblr, the fact that my words had enough of an impact that someone came to my blog to tell me was just...idk, revelatory. I understood for the first time how important and heartening it is to connect to other women. To know that you hear each other, you're there for each other, you give and give back...damn I'm feeling some feelings rn

Second thing: "You're like if Effie Trinket and Amy Dunne had a baby but it was...just...really nice!!!" (this was just so goofy, couldn't help but love it)

And my mom saying "I'm so proud of you" :')

🎭 I just reread all the Tortall books by Tamora Pierce, and I'm happy to report that they all hold up to the passage of time! If you like fantasy and novels directed at teens, I HIGHLY recommend them. Really good female leads swordfighting and talking to animals and reanimating the dead and fighting sexism!!!

(there's several different series with diff themes so please lmk if anyone wants a specific rec)

🍠 First I'd say "did you know there's a yam emoji??" bc I did not until right now!! Then I'd talk about my dog, my D&D campaign, how I keep wanting to crochet again but never find time, how fucked up the DEA-caused shortages of painkillers and stimulants is, my dog, their dog and/or other pets, how the closest longsword fencing classes are 4 hours away and isn't that a shame?, and I'd probs mention my dog again.

Do you think Amy Dunne was compelling at the end of Gone Girl when she gave her reasons why her husband should stay with her, and alternatives to breaking up with her?

I think this was the strongest moment in the book -- and in fact the strongest moment in a lot of books I have read lately, because in general I think that depicting a person through an extended "rationalization" of bad behavior is a terrible way to create a compelling protagonist. And in fact Gone Girl is full of bad behavior, from a host of characters, and in most cases I'd rather the characters not rationalize it.

The thing is, I'm not sure these rationalizations really are meaningful reasons for the characters to stay together, which is part of why they aren't appealing. On the one hand, it's pretty clear that Amy needs Nick around for her sake, and on the other hand it's pretty clear that she has no particular respect for Nick, and that when she talks about their marriage she clearly wants it to sound like something that it isn't. She wants to make Nick feel like he's special, but the way she talks about their relationship is never particularly positive. She seems to like him on a superficial, romance-novel level (he's a very handsome rebel), but nothing in her behavior suggests any deeper connection.

And that's not even getting into the main reason for their marriage: they both find the other one an interesting mystery to solve. That is not a great foundation for a relationship. It's telling that her purported rationale is so strong, and yet -- while she does praise Nick, or at least seems to -- she can't help adding that he's also a pretty boring guy (that "boring" line) and that there must be many other guys out there with potential who are more interesting. The only thing that gives me any hope for a positive relationship in the end is the moment when she says "I love you." But after that she starts to reveal her true feelings, and again they're not particularly positive.

I wanted her to stay with him, but I'm not convinced she wanted to, and not convinced that it would work out.

The funny thing you are missing is Amber Heard is the abuser, she has repeatedly been violent and instigated fights. You can hear in the audio. There’s plenty of evidence. Even before she was with Depp of her violent streak. She also has some mental health issues that have been brought up. She needs to be taking medication for. It’s actually quite disrespectful for her to claim she’s a victim when she’s the one who’s been abusing and being physically violent with people. It’s all just very sad. She even mocked JD saying no one would believe him if he ever tried to come forward. She is only giving a bad rep and making it harder for those who actually go through these kinds of things. She’s been caught in a lie many many times. It’s very obvious that its premeditated.

And JFK is going to come back any day now and put Trump back in his rightful spot in the presidency.

I'm really sorry school has failed you so much that you fell for an online smear campaign without looking at any of the other evidence. You should work on your media literacy skills.

Amber did what is called reactive violence, this is not uncommon in abuse. Amber did not have the power to abuse her older, heterosexual, wealthy, famous husband. An expert witness just testified the other day about this. How much of the trial have you watched? Or are you just regurgitating an a smear campaign from Adam Waldman in my inbox?

Anyways her partner claimed that report was filled due to homophobia.

Amber was diagnosed with BPD and the defunct histrionic personality by a doctor wined and dined by Depp who talked to her for 12 hours. Other doctors have diagnosed her with PTSD and Battered Wife Syndrome. But I should stress even if Amber does have BPD to use that against her as a sign she is an abuser is gross and ableist.

That audio of her "mocking" D*pp is a clip taken out of context and passed around the internet as part of a smear campaign orchestrated by Adam Waldman. (Who btw has ties to Russians oligarchs who likely spread disinformation about the 2016 election.) The clip cuts off before she goes “Because you’re big, you’re bigger and you’re stronger. And so, when I say that I thought that you could kill me, that doesn’t mean you counter with you also lost your own finger. I’m not trying to attack you here. I’m just trying to point out the fact of why I said call 911. Because you had your hands on me after you threw a phone at my face. And it’s got crazy in the past, and I truly thought I need to stop this madness before I get hurt.” 

You're really going to tell me the pictures, witness testimony, videos of johnny breaking stuff, expert testimony on IPV, the fact that johnny just got caught in a lie about his finger yesterday, the misogynistic text messages, and the fact that a judge ruled in the UK that amber was abused all is just what? A lie?

For that to be true, Amber would have had to been plotting this and faking this since she started dating D*pp. Diary entries, emails, text messages, fake photos, getting people who aren't even her friends anymore to keep lying for her. For what? 7 million dollars? When she was entitled to over 30 million? Like what's the pay off? SO she could have people attacking her every single day, calling her a gold digger and a liar and amber turd, and a psychopath. Like what was the fucking benefit to do all that?

For Johnny to have abused her a man with a history of violence would just have to have used his power to abuse his much younger wife.

Amy Dunne isn't real, Harvey Weinstein is.

Anyways get better soon bestie, and brush up on your media literacy skills. Maybe stop getting all your news from tiktok memes. We've got an election coming up in 2 years and at this rate it'll be so easy for Trump to pull another misinformation campaign on ya'll. I mean that's who's pushing all these anti-amber heard stories on social media anyways.

[thesmutgoddess]

I should add the problem isn't that Caroline Calloway is an unproductive addy-popping, academic failure and I certainly would not be the one to judge but that she's been handed every privilege and she constantly fails to meet even the lowest expectations. If you watch or listen to interviews with her she's not particularly charming or stylish or a glamorous trainwreck that naturally lures famous cohorts a la Edie Sedwyck (though she desperately wants to be), she's not a strategic bombshell that's famous for being famous like Julia Fox, she isn't really even smart enough to be a calculated con artist like Anna Sorokin she's just, like... a messy dilettante.

The one smart thing she's ever really managed to do is embrace her scammer persona. No coincidence that this was done about the time that Amy Dunne-type figures were being reclaimed as figures of female empowerment (think Taylor Swift when she released Blank Space and moved into her Reputation era). In doing so she's managed to infiltrate the ny art scene and internet fascination almost as a ironic embodiment of the fakeness of social media, pseudo intellectuals and the shallowness of the ny art community themselves.

[rue-bennett]

I think people are definitly less tolerant of amy than of these other male character but i also can partly attribute that to the fact that shes a women taking advantage of the oppression against women thereby not only harming men who are innocent, but also harming other women. If her husband really was abusive then I would be 100% behind her in a fictional context, it's the lies that get to me.

i cant speak about those other movies as well, id have to watch/rewatch them, but i know that the new joker specifically would be as controversial as gone girl because it deals also specifically with mentall illness and discrimination. joker uses this in order to act out his hateful fantasies and while the movie has a point, the character also embodies all the negative stereotypes of mentally ill people. out of control, vicious, untrustworthy, and unpredictable, but the joker actually was mentally ill, which makes it worse almost. in gone girl i dislike amy dunne the character, in joker i cant stand how out of touch the directors and writers were.

Hmmm that's a good point. Because like I've said before, I like having irredeemable villains sometimes. Even if they came from a place of understanding or oppression, because some things are fucked up and unforgivable. And some don't want to be forgiven. And I think it's a very interesting thing to explore and it's something that has been done much more with men than women in the past. Most of the time when it's done with men, it's not well done. There are some standouts and even those are incredibly controversial (like Joker, as you brought up, and the movie it partially copied, Taxi Driver, was also controversial and inspired some real life killings and attempts), so it's not surprising that the first real mainstream attempts at creating unhinged female characters are controversial and even bad.

But I do agree that Gone Girl definitely takes on a different type of anger that isn't typically explored. And not only that, she's not justified in her actions. She's taking things to extremes when there is no reason to do so, and she's turning historical oppression against women into a weapon. Both she and her husband talk in their dual narration in the book (and director David Fincher and their actors, Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike) a lot about the roles that we play in life, in relationships, in gender roles, in society. It's interesting and she takes it to an extreme and does awful, surprising things with the oppression she's turned into power. Except, she's playing into the stereotypes that she's subverting. Like previous anon said, she uses her femininity and her beauty and false abuse allegations and even a child as a weapon. I think Amy was intentionally created and portrayed as a complete misogynist to create that irony. To show how absurd it was. Amy wasn't breaking gender roles but enforcing them, while also breaking norms.

Mini TL;DR: Amy Dunne is a bad person and the writers know this. Some fans apparently do not. Fight Club syndrome 2.0.

Also some of those movies are worth watching more than others, but are useful for a comparison imo. (If you want specific recs let me know what you like and let me know and if you have any to give also hmu.)

But about Joker (2019), I think you're right. I may have discounted just how controversial it was and still is in a previous post. It's definitely incredibly contentious and deservedly so. Gone Girl and Fight Club director David Fincher said that Joker is "a betrayal of the mentally ill." I think he's right. It's another of those movies that is controversial and inaccurate and a bad example but still is enjoyable...you know? Which is also deeply frustrating. But I am but a problematic human. I think that lots of people found his character sympathetic but it also did damage, but that damage is hard to measure, you know? It also took a lot from 70s/80s Martin Scorsese movies (especially Taxi Driver and King of Comedy) about mentally ill people but Joker sensationalized them for sure. And weren't Scorsese's movies controversial enough to begin with? (Again, I love those movies. But they are not without their flaws.)

I also agree with what you said about disliking Amy Dunne's character in Gone Girl but disliking the production/writing/directing of Joker. That's pretty spot-on and understandable.

[gothhabiba]

but isn't proving that women can use social structures that oppress them as weapons feminist? or at least truthful? i like gone girl because it's just a realistic portrait of what a female psychopath would do, manipulate patriarchy and (white) women's perceptions as victims for her own gain. it's something women have had to do to survive since you don't have (white) male power to hurt and be rewarded for it. that's why so many women find it empowering imo.

a piece of media is not either “feminist” or “not feminist”; rather, feminist criticism is a lens or set of lenses thro’ which to consider a given work

within the cadre of feminist criticism you can take a number of different approaches to a given work: trying to deduce the intentions of its author or authors; trying to ‘recover’ its original sociohistorical context & connect that context to things that occur within the work; ignoring its historical context on purpose and reading it “against the grain,” or in a way which is meant to help you say or uncover something else (academics really like the word “resonances”); reading it with an emphasis on how its original audience “would have” responded to it; reading it with an emphasis on how you, personally, respond to it, &c. these are all different projects that are relevant at different times & allow you to say different things. a discussion of a character being personally compelling, of there being something “recoverable” or “redeemable” about a work, is not at all incompatible with a discussion of the misogynistic tropes an author was playing into when they created a work, or speculation about how these tropes may have been received by different audiences

that being said it’s interesting that you acknowledged (white) parenthetically and then dropped it. a “realistic” portrayal of a white woman manipulating her perceived innocence is “feminist”–to whom? under what circumstances? something resonating with certain subgroups of women or certain women finding something ~empowering~ does not a “feminist” film make, even if I were in the habit of describing pieces of media in those terms. & if we’re talking about realism–is it really realistic that a white woman can lie about being raped by a white man and ruin his life with that false rape accusation? is that a responsible thing to depict as happening?

I’m not sure what you think a movie can “prove”–maybe you mean the act of using social structures that oppress you as weapons would be a feminist act? but this needs to be interrogated a lot more, due to the fact that 1. this is a film, it’s fiction, it was made & written by a person, Amy Dunne is not a human being with agency; 2. white women have militarised the perceived innocence of white women to a looot of different ends & that needs to be untangled more before you can call it a “feminist” action under all circumstances. for one thing you would need to define “feminist”–does it mean “in line with a particular feminist movement or subsection thereof”? “done to advance the [social? political? economic?] ends of women or a certain subsection of women”? “tending towards the liberation of all women alongside all other oppressed groups”? &c.

[darkshrimpemotions]

Hey, I don't want to sound like I'm "not all men"ing, but isn't framing a cheater for murder...You know, a little TOO extreme? Like, can't you just creatively catch him in the act and use that to ruin his reputation? (I'm talking about Gone Girl)

I mean yeah? Pretty obviously? But that's not really the issue I have with how people react to Gone Girl.

One of my problems is people acting as though any story in which a woman exercises power is/must be automatically a model of feminist ideals, and that's...not true at all.

Women can be angry, cruel, thoughtless, and wrong, just like men can. And women can be depicted being angry, cruel, thoughtless, and wrong without it being "the future feminists want."

There's also this thing called subversion, in which a ridiculous/unfair situation is flipped the other way intentionally in fiction to show the people who typically don't have to deal with the downside how bad it is.

But most men (notice that word most?) seem incapable of handling this. Show them fiction in which a woman is cruel to a man, and it somehow becomes proof that feminists want to subjugate men...to treat men like women have been treated for centuries, in other words.

Some will even go so far as to say that if the situation were gender-reversed, of course there would be outrage. As if movies about women being abused, maimed, tortured, and murdered are a thing of the distant past. As if women are no longer the majority of rape or domestic violence victims.

As if the entirety of human history and literary canon steeped in misogyny has magically disappeared, and the world is an egalitarian utopia that is being threatened by feminists who want "reverse sexism" to be the law of the land.

And this happens whether or not the creator(s) of the media are feminists themselves or have touted their own work as feminist (and even sometimes if they've outright said it isn't).

Using the existence of Amy Dunne as some kind of "proof" that feminists are the real oppressors is beyond laughable. For one thing, this is a fictional woman. For another, isn't it interesting how so many women can identify with being utterly betrayed and destroyed--financially, emotionally, and physically--by a man, but so few men can say they've been "Gone Girled?"

So while women may identify with Amy, clearly we're not emulating her on the scale that some men seem to fear. Put another way, there seem to be a whole lot more Nicks in the world than there are Amys.

So why should any of us have to apologize or explain for identifying with Amy, if we do? That's my other--and biggest--problem with the way people talk about Gone Girl.

Nobody demands that men explain or qualify their enjoyment of or identification with male characters--or even historical figures!--that behave badly. Mobsters, serial killers, drug dealers, vigilantes, womanizers, assassins, rapists, abusers, con artists. Walter White, Tyler Durden, Hannibal Lecter, Michael Myers, Al Capone, Freddy Kreuger, Jack the Ripper, James Bond.

None of these men, real or fictional, are good people. But I've never heard a man feel the need to couch his interest in one of them in a five-paragraph essay clarifying his understanding that they are Very Bad Men and Not To Be Emulated. Because men are, by and large, viewed as mature, intelligent, rational adults who are expected to know right from wrong.

Yet women--real women, who have real men in their lives who make them feel kinship with a suicidal character who describes herself as already murdered--are constantly apologizing for not outright loathing Amy Dunne. Oh obviously she's terrible. We would never. She wasn't right of course. She's a bad person.

And no matter how much caveating we do, as you've just illustrated, we can't mention her--even in passing--without someone popping up to request that we clarify that we're not actually in favor of framing a cheating husband for murder...right? Right? Right?!

[joels-watch-is-broken]

The way Amy proves herself right at every step even in real life. She comes back and she tells Nick:

"It’s the story the world needs right now. Us. Desi’s the bad guy. No one wants two bad guys. They want to like you, Nick."

She is so intelligent and so good at what she does because she understand how society works. Not being a man allows her to recognize privilege in a way they can't, because men like Nick Dunne don't see the privilege they have. But being white, being wealthy, being charming and beautiful, allows he to all also use her privilege and weaponize both her privilege and her vulnerability (being a woman).

The same goes for Regina George, and I think it's pretty funny. They aren't in the position of ultimate power, they are in the unique an exact position to have just enough power and the knowledge to use it exactly as they need.

But people's reaction to Gone Girl (movie and book) do nothing but prove Amy right, constantly. The need to root for something, someone. The need to have everything be simple, bad guy good guy. Never two bad guys. To the US in gone girl there can't be two bad guys, Nick and Desi, Nick can only be the bad guy when Desi is forgotten and it's Amy and Nick, then and just then can Nick be the bad guy, because we have a good guy. For the audience the same goes. Nick is the good guy and Amy the bad guy for some, for other Amy is the good guy and Nick is the bad guy

But at least I'm partly sure that the women that rooted for Amy did so because she spoke facts but most of them recognize that she is not by any means the feminist icon.

But I also see people that consider this even more problematic. But I don't, because I don't think Amy is ever portrayed as a hero. The book, even more so than the movie, is very clear that Amy wasn't being a victim that victoriously rebelled. She was the villain. All she did, the horrible things were all her choice, she was never forced to do stuff, except perhaps with Desi. Which is exactly why I think Amy is so disgusted by him. But I think it is really powerful that we have s female character that chooses to be evil and isn't evil because of what happens to her. And this is entirely possible because of who she is, if she was in any minority, she wouldn't have been able to do what she did. Because she had every advantage she needed at her disposition. She was the perfect blonde, wealthy, pretty, charismatic and brilliant picture of s wife. And that's what people cared. The book perfectly illustrates that.

Plus there is no reason to not admire how fucking intelligent she is.

(Quote is from the Gone Girl book, chapter Nick Dunne: The night of the return.)
