Because in the context of the song, she’s saying she wants to stay. I’ve never seen the movie you’re talking about so maybe it was played differently there but when the song was released it was obviously a duet between two people who wanted to “do stuff” but were unable to due to norms and societies judgement.
Why are you so insistent on portraying the woman as a victim and the man as rapist when that’s clearly not what was intended?
When people consume media it’s important to have context. Short-sighted inability to contextualize anything outside of our current standards doesn’t help anyone at all and actually makes understanding and moving forward more difficult.
If you’re saying the standards of the time make it acceptable, I say that reflects really badly on the standards of the time. By the standards of the time, black people had fewer rights than white men. I hope to fuck we can improve upon the standards of the 1940s.
The standards were quite different that’s for sure. That’s why it’s important to understand that it was a different era. An unmarried woman willingly staying with a man was destroying her reputation at that time even if she wanted to.
Actually there weren’t any “rapey” elements at the time. They’re only there when viewed through a modern lense, completely ignoring the culture and standards of the time.
This is incredible and is going to be such a benefit to the community. Your wife is good people and the world truly needs more libraries and “third places” for everyone in a community to use and feel safe in regardless of their socioeconomic status or education or anything else.
$600 gets you 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. You can get better hardware for less.
Why care when we talk about desktops?
Because it’s $600 and velcroing an external HDD to a nice new sleek piece of hardware makes it look ugly. Typical Apple bullshit, I’m surprised they didn’t develop another proprietary connector.
I don’t scowl at the guy in the white Lambo I see sometimes. I don’t frown when a Porsche flies past me on the interstate. Shit, even a brand new Corvette will get a “nice!” from me. If it were jealousy I’d hate all kinds of people.
Cybertrucks are just horribly ugly. So ugly it assaults your senses, I can’t help but think “oh that car hasn’t finished rendering” every time.
I was a pack per day for almost 20 years. Switched to vapes 5+ years ago and stepped down the % and then stopped just like you. Haven’t had a smoke/vape in probably 2 years at this point. I still get a craving now and then but it passes, fuck cigarettes and paying lying tobacco companies to kill me.
They don’t see anyone they perceive as “lesser” than them as people; and they think they’re better than a whole lotta people.
How much did the stunt really cost though? A couple articles and swapping out some labels can’t be that much.
We’ve all thought about it.
everyone who has a problem with how the Democrats run things is an enemy
Unless you can show me where I said that, it’s a strawman…
Based on nothing but a statement that many Americans who don’t buy into Trump’s cult are still discontent with the system, you presumed that all of them, or at least a significant majority, are either against your rights, or at least willing to sacrifice them for some unspecified reason
Don’t assume what I presume as you’re incorrect and that’s not at all what I said.
There are plenty of discontent Americans who didn’t fall into Trump’s cult.
You must be assuming every one of them is a democrat, which is obviously not true. You make a lot of assumptions.
I’m not really interested in arguing over it, it’s probably more hassle than it’s worth. It’s been a long day, I’m sure we agree on lots of stuff, have a nice night.
So, everyone who has a problem with how the Democrats run things is an enemy? Gosh, why does that sound familiar?
Cool strawman.
This is the attitude you take, then you wonder why there isn’t more unity against the Republicans. If you want to know how fascism wins, this is it.
Fascism wins by people voting for fascists and by milquetoast moderates going along with it because they won’t be first against the wall. If that seems so offensive to you then you deserve to be offended.
And also sit idly by while his cult tries to seize power, knowing they won’t be the first against the wall.
Not uncommon at all to find religious BS in those little libraries. I haven’t come across any porn yet
Seriously, everyone knows if you say your wish aloud it won’t come true.
About his bank account.
Have fun buying your drugs IRL like it’s 1970 or something.
Yes yes because any time the government does something to help individuals instead of business it’s SoCiALiSm.
Yeah I’m familiar with the reddit argument I just think it’s half the story. It was written by a husband and wife but you clearly have an axe to grind so go off king.
Have a nice night.
