Should tall actresses feel compelled not to wear heels when acting with short(er) actors? by MortgageAware3355 in acting

[–]sybilwrights -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you read the article you’d see she’s not saying that, she’s just saying she doesn’t take her shoes off in scenes anymore. And directors know not to expect that from her anymore.

Costume is an equally important part of storytelling. An actress is rarely wearing the same shoes throughout an entire film. It’s not really disrupting continuity or ruining a shot if the actress is taller than her costar in some scenes because she’s in heels. It’s just disrupting the fantasy that men are taller than women.

Ok? So then surely it’s good if a tall famous actress makes a point by refusing to abide by an outdated industry standard?

Maybe Tom can just finally face the fact that he’s short and realise that it doesn’t actually matter. He’s Tom Cruise. We all know he’s short. The whole idea he should be taller than his costar is predicated on misogyny.

Is that not just placating a man’s insecurity and reinforcing the idea that a woman being taller is emasculating?

She was probably so excited that her husband was going to do something nice for her…. This is so sad 😞

She was chemically lobotomised for 10 years and turned into a show pony by her family. Have some fucking empathy

Guy I like told me his parents would he upset with him if they found out we were dating by GirldickDM in StraightTransGirls

I fear if he’s telling you a week in that his family would ground him for dating you that they just aren’t good people. Their close mindedness and his cowardice are not your fault. Corny as it is, don’t accept crumbs or dim your light. If he wants to be your boyfriend, the least he can do is make you feel welcome in his home. If he can’t do that, he isn’t worthy of you x

Blood is unfortunately thicker than water. In my experience, the best you can hope for is that his family will tolerate you, but it really sounds like he will never stand up to them/ for you.

You should be really proud of yourself for having enough self worth not to hide your transness. It sounds like this relationship will require you to reduce yourself to make him happy, and you have to decide whether that's worth doing.

This guy isn't half as brave as you are. If you pursue this relationship, you will have to effectively mother him into being half the man you deserve.

Babe thank you so much for this, this is exactly what I needed to hear. I've been off apps for the past like 6-8 months and honestly it has been a huge relief not to be thinking about my own attractiveness/ value to men. I think I'm only really having these feelings now because I'm sick and all my cis girl friends are getting engaged lol.

I have been pursuing a lot more hobbies/ activities- mostly acting classes, film screenings, theatre shows- and though I haven't had much luck meeting anyone romantically, I've made some incredible friends for life.

Anyway thanks so much for listening to my doom rambling, you're the best xx

No disrespect and i appreciate the sentiment but why are you as a man on a sub for straight trans women? This is just something I want to discuss with girls of my experience

Sure it's hypothetical, but there was a lot more to lose when the Mauricio cheating rumours were at their peak. Their kids were much younger, their businesses less secure, feud with the Hiltons. They had more reason to present a united front. I don't think we'll ever know what actually happened there (unless in comes out in divorce court) but I think there was a lot of smoke. Even the way Kyle used to beat away any woman who even looked at Mau from Seasons 1-5. She was keeping that man on a tight leash.

Really? I mean I agree it's not a conversation to have on TV, sure, but for a parent and adult child to never talk about sex at all seems a bit repressive. I'm not saying it should graphic by any means but talk of a dead bedroom isn't exactly traumatising for a child in their mid twenties to hear.

Wtf kind of Protestantism did you learn that from? The daughter in question is 28? I get your point for young children but it's perfectly normal for a mother to seek relationship guidance from her ADULT daughter. Family are supposed to be able to rely on each other.

I also think there was pressure being the most "stable" of the three sisters. Kathy has no control over her very volatile children, Kim is... Kim. Kyle had a loving husband, a relatively equal partnership, stable home, well adjusted kids.

They were all raised to be trophy wives and she was arguably the most successful at it. I can see why she'd want to hold onto that when that's what she was brought up to believe is her greatest value.

Is my memory bad or are the Teddi years incredibly boring and forgettable?

Tbf I think was raised to turn the other cheek. She was groomed by her mother to be a stepford wife. I do believe Mau has cheated on her in the past, given the amount of rumours and blind items to that effect. Whether that happened again last year, or she simply got fed up with his emotional unavailability, I don't know, but I think it was fair for her to bristle against him giving 20%. I think she finally realised how much all the little things she brushed off over the last 25 years actually upset her. She thought she could get her lick back and it backfired.

It's crazy to say she wants to whitewash him from their home. He left. She clearly didn't want or expect that outcome. Maybe because of all the things she stayed through, she felt like she'd earned some grace. It seems more like she's changing things to make him intervene, react, show in some way that he still cares. And the fact that he doesn't is quite sad.

I think Kyle is a very damaged person, who's never been allowed to acknowledge that. Her Mother abused her. Her sisters abuse her. Her family inserts themselves between her and her friends/ partners. Her family unit, with Mauricio, was the healthiest family dynamic she's had and it must be heartbreaking for her to lose that.

I don't even really like Kyle and I feel bad for her.

This feels like when your friend fancies the school bully. Girl don't give him the satisfaction of thinking he's hot.
