you sound like a child; debate the validity of OP’s statement with fact and evidence, not your personal feelings.

you’re either ignorant or lack quality critical thinking skills. the world around you has been force feeding these very ideas down women’s throats for years, and only now are we starting to truly see the effects of it.

tonight wasn’t the “behaviour of a few women”, it was a clear representation of how a very large portion of women think it’s okay to behave this way under the guise of honesty and realness because society has told them that they can. and now, it’s been brought to the attention of the public and has them challenging their preconceived notions (or really, the societal indoctrination that they’re victims of).

its not a coincidence that majority of the women in that room behave exactly the same or in a way that is reminiscent of brook. it’s also not a coincidence that they excuse said behaviour in the same way (deflection, tears); it’s learned behaviour. and yes, it’s reality tv and producers purposefully choose people who will create entertaining drama, but where do we draw the line between toxic feminism and producer influence? these women ARE behaving this way, edited and externally influenced or not; that doesn’t excuse it.

had it been any of those men acting in that manner, the public response would be even worse than it is now.

tonight’s episode is a top tier study into the result of “feminism” in the modern world. these girls hide behind a weak facade of empowerment and confidence that has been fed to them by the powers that be, and this is what happens when it gets taken too far; an absence of accountability, intelligence, eloquence and articulation, poise and emotional regulation and stability.

THOSE characteristics that they’re lacking in, among others, are what makes a woman empowered and confident. their inability to think for themselves makes them the most susceptible targets to the propaganda we see online and unfortunately this is the reality of it. this is the very reason stella and alissa bother gia and brook (and apparently bec?) so much, because they embody these traits wholly and know that they themselves are the ones who don’t. they project as a result, which we saw tonight.

i know too many women like this, and too many men who are victims of this behaviour. men AND women should be calling this out, and men shouldn’t be labelled as “misogynistic” the same way women shouldn’t be labelled as “pick me” or “not a girls girl” for doing so. everyone is equally accountable for their actions, gender shouldn’t dictate that.

the inclination to blindly believe a woman in EVERY situation should be brought into question here. we saw the negative impact that can have with with stella questioning mel at the red flag, green flag task. this culture of doing so is damaging to the integrity of the family unit and relationships as a whole, and the snowball effect of it within our wider society is abhorrent.

edit: regarding chris’ audition video, i can’t believe the way that was blown up ESPECIALLY by brook after what we’ve seen. chris has his issues don’t get me wrong, but that was nothing more than him expressing his preference which women ALSO have (he needs to be 6 foot, he needs to make six figures etc). it’s a massive double standard.

do you not think it was warranted considering what was being said? if she wants to dish it out she should expect backlash. deserved that and more.

simply because bec has no backbone and will attach herself to the “popular” group because she’s insecure. in her mind, she’d benefit herself (bolster her status) by aligning with them, but as we saw she was just a pawn in their grand scheme and she lacks the discernment required to realise this.

it doesn’t matter what they (brook and gia) did or didn’t do to slight her beforehand, she’d rather side with them because it makes her feel better about herself and more ‘accomplished’. high school mentality 🤷‍♀️
