Misogyny and pop culture: don't yuck my yum! (Spoilers for the movie Poor Things)

I’ll have you know I came up with that all on my own.

Trump will have to pay me if he wants to use it.
Nah, I’ll just say no, go away. My words can’t come out your mouth. Ever.

You’re only cumin.

…And scene!

It’s so good! Every once a long while a piece of art is made exactly for me, like, the universe brings everything together, and I’m like, “Thank you, universe, this is what I wanted!” I loved it so much.

Thank you. I am hoping for an academy award.

OK, I’ll admit I did two double-takes.

I’m so glad it was unintentional @Riemann .

I respect you more.

I know you don’t care. But I do.

I didn’t follow all the threads referenced here. I saw the quote of what @Eonwe said regarding the movie. I didn’t, and still think the anger it engendered was unwarranted. Shitposting, afaict is calling people names and telling them they are stupid for their opinions/tastes, just to make fun of or belittle a particular thing just for shits and giggles. Maybe I need to rethink/look up the common understanding of it? Again, the way I understood all the hubbub was that she should see the movie before she decided that she didn’t want to see the movie.

I also had a rather pornographic notion when cuminsplaining came up. Heh.

The mockery of your accusations of mansplaining wasn’t unintentional, just the prurient pun.

I know that. I can be happy for a nice thing. You said it was unintentional you said “cuminsplaining” . And it not to mean what it looked like it meant.

I respect that.

I have to say, explaining my intent in using the word “cuminsplaining” wasn’t something I anticipated I would be doing when I woke up this morning.

I only read the reviews and I can assure you those threads suck.

Summer is a cumin seed, loudly sings the stew.
Summer is a cumin seed, lewdly sing boo hoo.
Summer is a cumin seed, comin’ through the rye,
Summer is a cumin seed, please don’t ask me why.

It is very funny that the post that started this whole thing was made by a man, saying how a movie they didn’t see was misogynistic, even though several women who had seen it said they did not view it that way.

I think there’s a term for that…

For disagreeing with you, it seems. I mean, like I said, I don’t agree with everything she’s saying, but AFAICT the degree of actual hostility in the conversation (both here and in the IMHO thread on OnlyFans teachers that you refer to) seems to be coming more from you than from her.

And I continue to be somewhat baffled why it’s apparently not okay for Beck to complain about “mansplaining” when a man is saying that a woman is wrong about something, but it’s okay to complain about Beck “gransplaining” when she as an older person is saying that younger people are wrong about something.

I mean, it’s the Pit, after all, and I wholeheartedly support the mission of the Pit to provide a safe space for fulmination and ranting, so maybe I should just bow out and let the angrier people get on with it.

Cardamom and nutmeg are still available.

Definitely watch it twice. You’ll see a lot you missed the first time.

Obviously because Xplaining does not just mean “an X is disagreeing with me”. I guess I could explain what it does mean, but… you know.

Dopesplaining!

I gotta say I’m enjoying this thread and posts like this one (and not only this one) are why!

I think of this community as family. One even more dysfunctional than the one I grew up in! And that says a lot!

Now that you mention it this thread does remind me of spending Christmas with my family.
