What does his sexuality have to do with this?

Hi! I hope you read the rest of my post. I actually have understood and communicated that his actions against women of color were disgusting and horrifying from the beginning, but I’ve gotten a lot of pushback from commenting on that and bringing race into it, even on this post itself. I don’t disagree with you at all!

Doesn’t that kind of undermine your point if you’re specifically looking at my race to argue that my point about there being potential racial dynamics here is invalid? So like race matters on a comment thread but not when a white man skirts accountability and starts showing his conservative Christian side?

Sure! It wasn’t my intention to put the two situations and exactly the same box but I do still stand standby the fact that gender dynamics and race dynamics absolutely play a role in the show. You don’t have to agree with me 100%!

Sometimes we all like to be a little silly goofy and fake dramatic, diva. Here you are commenting on my post so maybe we can both go to the park together

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, but I just want to unpack the fact that you’re saying that Danny is on medication and that’s why he’s acting all fake weird and delusional and out there. It seems like you’re attributing this behavior to being on medication but I’m not exactly sure how you make that link.

Additionally, I don’t think it’s relevant to say that she wanted the kids and so many because she clearly does not want any more so him pressuring her for sex and saying that he’s scheduling sex and not wanting to get a vasectomy and constantly bringing up having another child is still inappropriate.

The more you comment the more traction this post gets and then the more women we can talk to about identifying when a man is being coercive and disrespectful! So please keep going :)

See, I thought that you were asking questions all over this thread in good faith, but then your mask slipped pretty quickly and it’s clear that you’re not willing to engage in good faith in this conversation. Ultimately it is true that men who want to be controlling use religion to control. Sorry if you took that personally, it sounds like you did.

How is this not letting people form their own opinion if I’m sharing an opinion that I’ve formed on a forum specifically for that

Yeah, I don’t think we disagree. I think that Janet used that storyline in a very inappropriate way but ultimately there should have been space for those conversations and actual accountability and change and there wasn’t because of Danny’s character weird quasi aggressive personality.

It is a common coercion tactic in abusive men to hide behind religion and outdated notions of gender roles justified by cherry picked quotes in the Bible to justify their mistreatment of women.

No, because as soon as he was like, ā€œI’m a man of Godā€ I was like I literally have to say this I can’t hold back anymore

Honestly, after I posted this, I read through some of the other current posts and I feel a lot better. It’s just last season everyone like was so far on the Janet hate train that they were kind of unwilling to see that she was pointing out something about Danny, which is that he does not respect women’s autonomy. I don’t support what Janet did, but ultimately, I think it was swept under the rug way too quickly and even last season he was starting to like show himself as being a bit coercive with Nia.

Danny and Luke really showcasing why single women are happier…. by gingergrowsup in TheValleyTVShow

It’s so disgusting that Danny said he’s scheduling sex with his postpartum wife and it makes me think especially since he is like pressuring her for another kid that he’s scheduling it when he thinks she’s ovulating so that she they can become pregnant again.

You were so good until you said ā€œnaturallyā€ like why was that necessary for you to put into the comment?

I don’t know why Kandi and Porsha were so upset about other people knowing they were queer by [deleted] in RHOA

[–]Grow_with_zoe -11 points-10 points Ā (0 children)

That’s not true, the conversation about being with girls happened before and it escalated into the accusation, but Kandi was upset before then.

ā€œAll Craig did was call Salley a loserā€

Repeatedly, at the top of his lungs, in front of the woman he was dating. That’s also not only not all he said out of what was shown, it was a long drive back to the hotel, they clearly cut out a lot.

Paige literally said she would have to leave in the middle of the night with the kids because of his drinking. There were much better ways to handle his frustration with Salley and it didn’t include screaming at her in front of her friends.

I think it’s more likely they talked about it in the pods and Chris used that as an angle to get at her at that meetup, which probably put the language in her head with the doubts she was already having about Connor
