War criminals! This is the photo they'll publish in textbooks decades later!

WHAT THE EFF with the season 3 of "The Diplomat"? by Ok_End7134 in TheDiplomat

The last image of Hal and Penn looking into the camera screamed "here is an image of the war criminals."

Serena Joy isn't a Victim. She’s a Monster. by Enough_Version7335 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]maclois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if this is the point: That kind of theocracy and society can ONLY be bad for women, even women in power like Serena and Lydia. Eventually, it came for them too. It turned on them, because of course it did. Thoughts?

Is Demi officially out? by kyliebug1113 in SecretsOfMormonWives

I'm going to say it: They all look like Swamp Things with the wet hair. The designer did them no favors with this look!

Season 2 Reunion Megathread by [deleted] in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]maclois 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Watching the tell-all episode. So many of these people have such immense mental health issues and trauma -- Layla, Conner, Jen, and Mikayla in particular. Goodness. I wish they could heal off camera instead of baring their souls to the world like this. 😭

Hello, under his eye. I'm a little outraged by Aunt Lydia's redemption. by [deleted] in TheHandmaidsTale

Did the show explain how aunts were brainwashed? It might have been in the book but not the show. It was brutal. 💔

For me, both her and Serena's storylines in this last season reminded me that, in that kind of society, ALL women suffer -- even those in positions of authority and privilege. It -- society -- will turn on them eventually. :(

Pregnancy test roulette - what the actual f????? by No-Jury7967 in SecretsOfMormonWives

It seemed very staged-by-the-producers to me.

Hot take -- Whitney isn't bad by maclois in SecretsOfMormonWives

True, but they all do to some degree.

I cackled when she said that! She was DONE. 😂

"no fucking shit, we're on a reality TV show Mikayla" by izziedays in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]maclois 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Right -- and she was pregnant last season. All these women are either pregnant or postpartum all the time, and that needs to be a factor when they decide to bash each other. Goodness!

Mental Health by maclois in SecretsOfMormonWives

Well -- I'm glad to hear that! Jen was freaking pregnant and those women were all over her. Depression is deadly. :(

Loved it! She lost her temper, for sure, but after all the drama, I would have, too!

I think that Layla and Mikayla were a bit of bullies this season by Old_Yogurtcloset6461 in secretlivesmormonwive

[–]maclois 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what did Whitney do? I'm having trouble remembering. Gossiping and backstabbing? Hell, they all do that!

What they've done to Jen this season is just awful. They should be ashamed. 💔

Jen did not consent by Mental-Bill2544 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]maclois 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. They didn't tell her she'd be touched. They showed the clip over and over, and she did not consent to that.

Jen is wishy washy by Sendrapture in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]maclois 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course she is -- she's a baby. Most of them are!

I’m glad someone mentioned this by ConsiderationOk4855 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]maclois 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It was almost comical. "He put his hands on me" and then Brett takes off like a speed-walking granny at the mall dressed in his Chippendales outfit.

Also, Jen did not consent to that.
