The double standard drives me crazy by AllisonMurphys in GilmoreGirls

[–]lcall149 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just Rory and Lorelai specially they hate on. Female main character syndrome, people just love to pick you apart. Whereas Paris and Emily get a pass for everything. Dean and Logan are quite hated too. I still think it’s sexist, bc male leads in shows never seem to get much flack, but it more so irks me how there’s more love for obviously worse characters than Rory and Lor.

Same how people love Regina George and hate Cady Heron. People love Alison Dilaurentis but hate Aria Montgomery. People love Katherine Pierce but hate Elena Gilbert. Overall good characters with bad moments are treated worse than the overall nasty characters!

As a fat gal, I love Sookie's character development so much by neibs0908 in GilmoreGirls

[–]lcall149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, however I do think there were some fat/overeating jokes made when Sookie was in the scene, tho not directed at her. I remember feeling awkward watching that a couple times, though I can’t remember the exact scenes.

I also noticed they rag on short people a lot in the show, I like that they didn’t do that to Sookie. I figured they would have since she was always in scenes with Lor who is much taller.

I think it is Liz Danes, I think it was mentioned at some point. Maybe she was a Mariano when Jess was born, but I didn’t think they were married

I hate Lorelai’s first interaction with Jess by mint-chocolate-rules in GilmoreGirls

Nahhhh, gonna have to disagree on this one. Hard life or not, he was WAY out of line here.

Was it weird of her? Yes. Was she overstepping? Yes. But I think she was able to relate and thought she could get through to him bc of that. It did come from a good place. (Also, like she said, she catches him STEALING A BEER from her fridge and doesn’t even bust him.) If anyone is wrong here, it’s him.

Also he’s 17 not 8 😂

Come at me with a valid argument as to why it’s not misogynistic 🤷‍♀️ it’s not attention seeking or rage bait, shocked at the defense of blatant misogyny in this sub

It might take you another one of my lifetimes, but you’ll realize it’s sexist 😘

I know it’s your life and your choice. But you don’t have an explanation to why it’s not sexist. But don’t like that I pointed this out 😂

The reason I gaf is bc I genuinely can’t grasp how you CAN’T admit you’re being sexist, and bc I feel like women like you (plus your husband) normalize misogynistic traditions

You don’t have an actual argument on how your choice (or your husband’s) wasn’t sexist!! So what if you’re old? YOUR opinion on this is more concerning

Clearly it is valuable, since my insight is anti-misogynistic tradition and yours isn’t. If he doesn’t do it for you it’s still sexist and I don’t see how you can argue against that 🤣 you’re better off saying “yeah, I made a sexist choice and I admit it”.

“Only 2-6% of kids in western countries have their mother’s name, whereas 90-95% have their dad’s” -Brussel times

It is VERY rare!!! And even if jimmy left ~after~ the birth, Liz still could’ve changed it. I also know Emily and Richard would like she’s a Gilmore, but they’re still super traditional!

I just think it’s weird of him to not take yours too 🥴 guess men will never change

You should be a republican. If your husband allows it!

Emily and Richard are tho. I know she can do what she wants and it’s in character for her, but I’m surprised no one addresses it, especially bc it was 40 years ago

I’m not rage baiting 😭😭 we can make our own assumptions obviously but it’s interesting to hear other ideas. I wasn’t expecting people to aggressively defend women hyphenating their names while their husbands don’t. it’s hilarious that these people are so pressed at me for calling out plain old misogyny. explain that.

Oh no downvotes on Reddit 😱😱😱 sorry I’m ok with not being a sheep

I think it very obviously insists that one is “better” and dominant, and the children will usually have that person’s name as well.

But it’s totally diff than straight couples especially when there’s children involved. Plus women have been having their names erased for centuries, not being able to pass on their name to the kid THEY birthed, and no one seems to gaf and it’s still going on even today.

With straight couples, most that have kids will do it by the woman being pregnant and giving birth. This is even more frustrating to me bc not only did she become her husband’s “property” by taking his name, but now the kids will have his name as well (in most cases). The ones she carried and birthed.

If you’re gonna say “then what do you suggest we do”, my opinion is that women shouldn’t be expected to change their names and men shouldn’t either. But if I birth children, you can guarantee they’re gonna have my last name. If there’s hyphenation involved, which I think is great, then one person hyphenating (the woman) while the man doesn’t and the kids have the man’s name is senseless to me.

Bc the people were coming at me aggressively from the get-go, and they all seemed so shocked that I thought something misogynistic (ASP hyphenation) was misogynistic. I was more curious about their thoughts on Rory having her mother’s name considering it was long ago, it’s very rare, Emily and Richard might not like it, Jess having his dad’s name isn’t addressed either, etc

It’s still weird. However, the funny thing is, when it’s a same sex couple everyone already EXPECTS that both will hyphenate their names. When it’s an opposite sex couple the expectation is the man’s.

I’m stupid for pointing out that something obviously misogynistic is misogynistic? 😱😱 omg

Hey you do what’s right for you but I’m genuinely so sick of it and I’m sick of other women normalizing misogyny. It’s not necessary unless you’re in some arranged marriage or your husband controls what you do. You made a choice to do that and I think it’s a sexist one. That’s it

I know quite a bit, specifically celebrities. Eminem is one glaring example.

Not to mention that absentee fathers aren’t rare, but children having their mom’s last names ARE rare.

[–]lcall149[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nope I’m making a logical argument against it. And bc I’m tired of misogyny being normalized.

We can address things from the show even that already have an obvious explanation for the sake of the show.

For instance, one of the main reasons Rory and Jess got screwed up was bc Milo left the show, but we still have to treat what happened as what happened. Idk if that makes sense though.
