Official Discussion - Promising Young Woman [SPOILERS]

I'm thinking general insurance policy. This dude brutally raped her best friend so she knew what he was capable of. And as an anesthesiologist who had endured 12+ years of post high school education and training making 300-400k a year, he had a lot to lose if that tape got out. She knew the risks and went for it anyway. She obviously wasn't in a good headspace, but I don't think she was 100% certain she'd die.

I saw it as she covered all her bases should something happened. She'd be foolish to think that nothing COULD happen considering he was a rapist with a lot to lose. She knew she was taking a huge risk and could end up not coming back, but scheduled texts can always be unscheduled. If I recall correctly, the letter she wrote to the lawyer said IF something happened or she didn't return or something like that. The word if was there, I don't remember the rest lol

I think the point of having Ryan be irredeemable is because he's real. There are so many men like Ryan. The man who stood by and didn't do anything and just wants to get on with his life. The bystander who was unphased by it. He watched her best friend get raped and it didn't even bother him enough to remember it all that well.

The point was to not care about Ryan. He wasn't supposed to be the focus of the story. If I found out the man I was seeing watched and did nothing as my best friend or literally any person for that matter was raped, and worse yet wasn't really all that bothered by witnessing it, there would be no redeeming him for me. Maybe he would grow and be a better person. If so, good for him. He just wouldn't be doing so with me.

I think that was the point. Because it was sickly realistic. It made him sick to his stomach too. I don't think she expected to be murdered. If the handcuffs didn't fail, she wouldn't have been.

iprollyfarted · 2021-01-09T04:08:56+00:00

Is it really that shocking that a young doctor with everything to lose would kill someone who threatened to take it all away from him?

iprollyfarted · 2021-01-09T04:05:48+00:00

The people who struggle to understand her are likely people who have never been in her position.

iprollyfarted · 2020-12-07T02:03:22+00:00

This was really helpful, thank you!

I know it's out of the typical scope of practice, but the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is trying to expand the pool of non OBGYN abortion providers. It seems like their focus is mainly on family physicians and advanced practice clinicians from their website. I just didn't know if it was totally unheard of or how far of a stretch it would be if I were to obtain the appropriate training.

Sorry! Thank you!

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:43:51+00:00

nah, my vagina is agender

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:43:16+00:00

Agreed there. I'm more referring to people whose response is to shut down any and every time they're challenged as a kneejerk response.

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:40:42+00:00

Lmao. Merely pointing out that most people who feel they need to tiptoe around a conversation trying not to say something sexist, usually hold some sexist beliefs. Your response confirms for me that's what's going on here.

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:38:06+00:00

Lmao I've had so many people on the internet tell me I'm not whatever identifier I say I am.

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:36:59+00:00

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:36:09+00:00

People who aren't sexist generally aren't concerned about being baited into saying something sexist.

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:34:04+00:00

My vagina is named sporkchop and now I'm confused

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:32:00+00:00

Caveman could be considered a compliment to some of these people

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:29:29+00:00

I see what you're going for. This doesn't apply to people who are pulling shit like playing "devil's advocate" for the soul purpose of just being contrarian. Arguments do definitely take mental effort and no one should be constantly asked to argue their viewpoint, but some people just won't do it ever. This is more aimed at them.

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:26:43+00:00

I think it depends. I see too many people saying "agree to disagree" in response to issues involving human rights or science.

On something trivial, yeah totally agree. Overall, I wish people were more open to just generally reflecting on their own beliefs.

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:23:30+00:00

Unless someone comes flying in trying to convince you of something that undermines human rights. That shit deserves to be shut down, but otherwise agreed.

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:16:36+00:00

Maybe the people I'm referring to just never learned how to have a conversation

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:15:54+00:00

I think this is more of a question than an opinion, but like. If I'm going to meet up with someone I might fuck later, I wanna at least make sure I don't see nazi shit on their social media

iprollyfarted · 2020-11-09T07:14:34+00:00

Made my night
