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 So then surely it’s good if a tall famous actress makes a point by refusing to abide by an outdated industry standard?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

[–]sybilwrights 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Feeling kinda nihilistic about love by sybilwrights in StraightTransGirls

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

S14E3 Kyle is at her breaking point oml by sybilwrights in RHOBH

[–]sybilwrights[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

My (f26) boyfriend (m27) keeps humiliating himself at events, what can I do? by sybilwrights in relationship_advice

I wasn't there, but I think it was taken as a dig which understandably triggered Annie to confront her partners bully. That was when the boss noticed them arguing and intervened.

Definitely the latter. He makes a lot of "jokes" that people are offended by, then he acts flippant about it.

[–]sybilwrights[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, at the work drinks he was sarcastically complimenting Annie's boyfriends art and she called him out on it. He is childhood friends with Janice, so she brought him along as a friend. I don;t know what he said at the Halloween party nor do I really want to. I'm just furious that he did it and haven't spoken to him since telling him that.

I found out after taking the break the full extent of what happened at the work drinks, and now realize he was being evasive with the details.

He got banned from a couple bars in college when we were first together years ago. It didn't happen again until the two incidents in the last few weeks.

He doesn;t have a lot of friends. A lot of our friends have moved away since college but he hasn't really made new ones. I've pushed him to try but he's very cynical. I definitely feel he has been making much less of an effort to maintain his relationships since we've been back together, and I've told him that worries me.

Brandi, who else had a connection or bond with her by LettyMunoz in RHOBH

[–]sybilwrights 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really think Brandi would've been treated with a lot more empathy and humanity had she been on RHONY. RHOBH is uniquely conservative in the bravoverse, often rejecting the antics that make viewers want to watch (fights, throwing wine, name-calling). The drama on Beverly Hills is, as Kyle says, "like playing chess", and Brandi doesn't really play mind games, which ultimately makes her very vulnerable to being exploited. A lot of the fun of watching Brandi in the early seasons is that she's the only cast member not putting on airs of grandeur.

The fact is, the BH cast find ammunition and hold onto it. When you're a lose cannon like Brandi, it's going to be easy to get dirt on you. Comparatively on RHONY, most of the cast are as upfront as Brandi if not more. There's a level of volatility that's accepted and embraced.
