I feel by now there could be a whole sub-genre of ''men writing breasts''. They really don't understand that mammary glands, whose primary function is to feed infants, are basically just pouches of fat. They don't move independently, or express moods, they're just there. They may jiggle a bit if we run, or sag, or give us back ache, or sweat when we're too hot, but that's pretty much it.
I've mostly forgotten what I used to know about breast feeding. I remember it beat the hell out of getting up in the middle of the night to make a bottle - I do recall that the composition of the milk changes as the baby grows, not just from colostrum to actual milk, and that when the baby starts teething and using the nipple as a teething ring, it's time to stop.@@Barakon
“They don’t move independently, or express moods, they’re just there. They may jiggle a bit if we run, or sag… or sweat when we’re too hot, but that’s pretty much it.” Hmm, sounds kinda like t3$t1cles there. And yet, I’m willing to bet if they swapped in their balls for wherever b00b13s are mentioned, they wouldn’t be so keen to use the same language. 😆
Literally the only thing they do that isn't directly related to wither breastfeeding, age, or walking, is the nipples go hard when your cold or something. It's not even a sex thing.
Fun fact of the day: did you know that testosterone levels naturally spike during the period (generally halfway through the cycle)? It's an important part of female reproductive health and also overall wellbeing. And also. It's where the moodswings live. Hope that helped 🌻
im trans masc and while i was on hormones before my insurance was cut OMG my period was SO MUCH WORSE mood swing wise, i went from grumpy to straight up ready to murder at the slightest irritation. definitely going to need to readjust dosages of testosterone when i get to restart it because WOW i can not stand the sudden unbridled rage. i'd much rather have worse depression and mild irritation.
"Her voice was soft, like perfume oil..." yeah, that's actually kind of nice - not a comparison I can parse literally, but I appreciate the metaphor you were aiming for, my dude -- "her breasts swaying jauntily like two ripe fruits in a breeze." ....aaaaaand now you ruined it.
Same reaction here^^ and then i had this picture of a women with long hair walking down the street when a strong breeze comes up. But besides her hair going wild her breasts also start flopping around😅 I dont know how you can come up with this sentence and not realize how weird it is
Anyone using "childlike" as an indication that a character is attractive should probably have their harddrive searched. But I guess that makes me one of THE FEMINISTS (tm). Incidentally I'm glad that misogynist 20th century pulp writers and terminally online reactionaries share that particular boogeyman, that's just super cool.
I think childlike is an okay descriptor when it comes to curiosity or wonder though. As in "never lost the ability to be amazed by things that are amazing". The issue is that it's most likely gonna be used very very badly 🤮.
That’s what I’m thinking. I actually seen more women writing other women terribly than men. And I am lucky to have read some male writers who are good at writing women
@@claudiabcarvalho not really. Like this video people aren’t afraid to call out men who write women terribly. Women who write women like this are often the most popular ones. And that’s why for me is scary. 50 shades of grey being an example

Looks like The Feminists was first published in 1971, looking to a future of 1992 (20 years time) likely in response to increasing women's rights, legalising abortion, divorce becoming more easily accessible with the beginning of "no fault" divorces, decriminalisation of being gay, and so on. The guy must've shit his pants when Thatcher became prime minister in 1979 in the UK. I never liked the woman, she was horrific, and you couldn't call her a feminist (she was a conservative, after all), but the fact a woman was PM in those days was a big deal, so while not a feminist, she was something of a pioneer for more women's ambitions in politics. That had to have played into this dude's fears. Also, I'm dying over you acting out those "How to kiss a woman" instructions. 😂 💀
Was afraid of asking for the date of publication of the book… Hoped it would be at least a century old, but was certain I would be sadly disappointed 😞
I honestly believe that if the book/movie were a reality, things would be the same as they are now. As you indicated, strengthening women's rights, legalizing abortion, making divorce more accessible with the introduction of "no fault" divorces, decriminalizing homosexuality, and other issues would be treated more seriously, and human rights would no longer be something to 'argue'.

I find it funny when men scared of feminism describe the end of the “slippery slope” as a world where men are treated exactly how men currently treat women in many areas of the world.
For me, that's kinda telling. They KNOW when they treat us poorly, they are aware of that behavior. They're admitting that they're treating us that way not only because they want to, but also because they CAN. Because it's socially acceptable, because they control the laws. So they're afraid we'll be vengeful towards them once we have equal rights and, instead of treating us better, they rather be afraid.
The only context in which this makes sense is if it's pulling a role reversal on purpose to basically say: "Hey men, if this book scared you, maybe consider the fact that this is exactly how you treat women."
@@claudiabcarvalho This is because the status quo they grew up with is what they think is ideal, and any further in either direction is bad. Very good indicator of a simplistic way of thinking, which usually comes from lack of exposure to the wider world.

Something I've seen a lot more lately is the "women writing women", except: They are basically like "that one minority republican". And writes women really, REALLY bad.

@@divabhardwaj6381 Some do, yeah. But the cases I am referring too: They wave said woman around like a flag.

But since it WAS written by a woman... they demand a free pass. Though, I am also aware of TONS of situations where a man simply lies about being a woman, and uses that as a shield from critique about worthless writing. That has become EXTREMELY common nowadays. As, certain minorities basically have critique immunity with certain topics. So, people just go "Yeah, that one! I'm that one!" as there's no way to verify it.

Dude, there's a British comedy duo named the two Ronnies and they did that "the feminists" thing decades ago except for them it was an excuse to put women in SS style uniforms and themselves in dresses. The sketch is called the worm that turned if you're interested.
10:30 : I have a friend who was in the hospital recently. When she woke up (she was unconscious for days) She asked for clothes, makeup and hiking equipment. She still wanted HER shampoo and conditioner even after she realized she was in the hospital and could not actually move to wash her hair. This is absolutely a thing.
@@mimitogamiit’s a way to normalize her condition somewhat and to not feel completely deprived of agency over her body - how it looks, how it smells, etc.
so the viewing of freckles as "ugly" is unfortunately deeply rooted in various types of discrimination, particularly relating to ethnic & cultural minorities in various countries around the globe. it goes in direct conjunction with considering redheads "soulless" or "ugly". red hair is associated in much of continental europe (italy, spain, poland, russia, etc.) with jews (and was used as a basis of "identifying" jews during various progroms, including but not limited to the spanish inquisition). in china it is associated with uyghurs and other non-han ethnicities, who more often have red hair & freckles. in the UK and US it is widely associated with celts, specifically the irish, and hatred toward those with red hair and/or freckles goes hand-in-hand with anglo-saxon supremacy. in summary, the reason why freckles are often considered "ugly" is because of racism & antisemitism.
@@helvete_ingres4717 1. i am not american. i have never been to the americas, let alone the US. 2. have you heard of the welsh? the scottish gaels? the manx? really. celtic people exist. in fact, look up pan-celticism! its a thing. seriously. 3. these things _were_ and are racialised in the UK. do i really need to explain every aspect of discrimination by the english against other groups? 4. anglo-saxon supremacy is a real thing. look it up. it takes _one_ google search to find this out. 5. the british monarchs arent relevant here. nor does their existence immediately disprove any and all discrimination. actually just shut up on this; you dont know what youre talking about. its honestly insulting.
It's cool and all but could you back it up with a source? I have no problem believing this could be true but if your going to make wild statements please give a source.
@@huntercoleman460Fail proof way to compliment anyone. Use words like cool, rad or awesome and compliment on something they control like hair, makeup, shoes, clothes etc. So say things like you have rad shoes, or you have cool hair.
I vote that you read the terrible book. I'm so depressed & your content brings me a lot of comfort, thanks for being an oasis in an otherwise unforgiving landscape, Sybil.
Swaying jauntily, like two pears, blowing in the breeze. XD Or would apples be better? Or... oranges? lol. The moment you read that they looked like fruit, I saw a pair of plums. Very small, in other words. That's the problem with using "fruit" as a descriptor... boobs don't look like fruit. And since the fruit wasn't specified either, it could be any. XD
I feel like most the time the "context" we are missing is that the narrator or character is meant to be terrible. Which is usually noticeable from the text we are given.
I just have to say for the directions for kissing, if you hold someone else’s right hand it will cross between the two people that sounds very uncomfortable lol It’s like shaking hands in the US
Yup. The first time my ex and I held hands we ended up like that, sitting together and just increasingly laughing together because of how awkward it was.
06:22 I have ONE context where that would be acceptable! A mermaid or someone with scales on their feet seeing human feet for the first time and being genuinely surprised!
The dramatic period read could work in a horror story about a group of castaways that washed up on Komodo Island. Her period starts and suddenly they're being attacked by a bunch of dragons. Then again, if that premise was given to the same writer he'd probably turn it into a plot of "she needs to get pregnant to not have her period so she can survive" 🙄
I am currently writing/publishing a series of YA/scifi novels, and even before I got tips and feedback from beta readers and a paid evaluator, I knew to keep descriptions of my female characters brief, to the point, and to NEVER describe their naughty bits (or the naughty bits of ANY characters). Plus it’s a good tip not to get too detailed into the descriptions of characters in general because the readers like to imagine the characters a certain way anyway. Maybe even though I’m a “new” author (been writing for decades, but new to making published works) that I get it when so many others don’t.
Happy new month, my goodness, this is bad. I thought it was bad when breasts folded inwards when depressed, became sepient, had eyes, were aware of anything, made noises, broke off and floated, able to look around, stand to attention, lay flat when a person is on thier back, rose upwards when the sunlight hit them, bounce around with the mood. The whole genre of men writing women badly is just huge and a lot of them use women's names to hide themselves.... oh....and apparently vagina's are hoovers now. I am in a lot of FB groups and I see a lot of cringeworthy posts. I wonder how they can get away with this....and with the technical poetry naming of things.
To be fair, I think the vaginas as vacuums thing is an attempt to give women more agency during intercourse instead the far more common descriptions of men plunging into, plowing, impaling, etc.
I'm not sure of the context of the makeup in the hospital thing from the show, but I remember when one of my family members was in the hospital after an emergency surgery she did ask for her husband to bring makeup. It mostly had to do with her being unable to do much else and feeling out of control. It was one thing she could do to entertain herself without using much energy/walking around and to feel a little more in control of her situation.
10:27 I think that scene is from an italien movie called "Beyond the Darkness". From what I can find the context is that the woman on the hospital bed is the fiancé of that movies main character and is dying, so she want to kiss the main character one last time. I guess that is why she wants to wear makeup.
Intimacy coordiators are in the new union contract and should be stopping most (hopefully all) of the nonconsenual hanky panky arising from power imbalance. I think you'd really enjoy seeing the various ways they can make people look completely naked while they aren't showing even a millimeter more than they're comfortable with.
I dunno, that "The Feminists" book seems true. Things are hard for men like me, these days. Why just the other day I complimented a women and was executed by firing squad.
NAU LUV I CANT BELIEVE IT 💀also fun fact, the reason why we all get crankier and moody on our period is because the testosterone in our body increases during our period (the hormone in men ) so on our periods, we're just acting more "manly"💀"aggresive and mean" much haha lol not me laughing at myself BAN ALL MEN SIGN HERE ❤
While that is technically true you're only more aggressive because your bodies aren't tailored for higher amounts if testosterone, causing drastic changes in behaviour, similar to how male behaviour changes when they have higher levels of oestrogen (the hormone present in females)
Ya, that last one was probably the grossest fs. I laughed pretty hard at the ‘promise to a threat’ boobs cause my mind went straight to Austin Powers too lol
Actually, a plot twist where it looks like a character just has a really bad period cycle and turns out to secretly be a werewolf sounds pretty cool! I’d probably rather read that one from a female writer though
can i just say that "jauntily" feels real extreme for how fruit would mive in a breeze .. maybe wind. like moderate or heavy wind. jauntily is like bouncy
I'm fairly ambivalent about an episode dedicated to that brainless book, tbh. That said, just a little factoid: The book was set in the 1990s, but it was written in the 1970s. To put it bluntly, considering the political atmosphere of the 1970s this guy could not possibly be writing from any mindset other than blind, raging paranoia. Feminism certainly existed back then and was in a growth period but in no way was it any threat to a "man's world". Quite frankly it was considered no more than a bad joke. Honestly, despite the crap we're going through today its substantially better than it was back then, despite the current efforts to reverse it. Most of the pushback in the 70s wasn't so obvious back then, though. You had the religious pressure and sometimes violence of course, but the main "weapon" against feminism was widescale gaslighting more than anything else. This Cooper dope quite literally had fuck all to be paranoid about. He's was just some scared asshole lashing out at a non-existent enemy.
“Men envisioning periods as this murderous monster” is the exact vibe I get from Jaz Sinclair’s character in Gen V. She literally kills her entire family with the blood from her very first period.
3:17 listen I'm Australian and I had this on in the background but when you did this I looked up like "what?" Cuz it sounded exactly like 50 people I've met in my hometown djsjsjks
I definitely am turning this on to listen to while actively writing for nano. I regret nothing and know damn well i wont manage more than a paragraph. 😂 😂
It's easier than you think. Basically just write women how you would describe your best friend who is a woman and then occasionally check in with girls about questions or your scenes if you are in doubt. Becoming feminist and enlightened will also make it even easier! I am a dude and this is some stuff I do to keep it respectful.
I heard he freckle thing and it just reminded me of the time that my (now ex) boyfriend was telling me that freckles are ugly, I'M COVERED IN FRECKLES, I was so hurt ngl, because it was literally just hearing from my s.o. that I was ugly, and like ik I'm ugly but it hurts to hear it from my s.o. because there supposed to say that your beautiful/ handsome even if you know there lying
The “out of context” argument is insane. No amount of context would ever justify any of the “men writing women” atrocities I’ve seen. Also JAUNTILY SWAYING 🤣 No.
Some books exist that are meant to be from the POV of a serial killer, or an abuser, or a pervert, etc. Knowing the context that the narrator is supposed to be bad makes a pretty big difference.
Always good for me (an aspiring writer and a man) to see videos like this. Writing like this is so appalling and i hope to never even come close to becoming such a deranged individual that thinks you can tell a woman’s emotion by her bosom
This is great. I have to write about a female intern from the pov the villain, and some of this will be useful for creating the right amount of ick for that
🤣🤣these are classic, even from a neutral man’s perspective. Let’s me know that the only bullet I failed to dodge in writing, was that I should have researched what a Courtesan was before I began using the term. One instance was understandable: a ruthless woman with ambitions of her own empire who started out playing men like a musical instrument, often killing them when she was done with them, in untraceable ways. That one I let stick, but I probably should have looked it up. But I am looking at those descriptors and their reasons and motives thinking “Whew! Glad I dodged that one”
The one saving grace of Tarantino is that at least it's consensual. The actress read the script before to accept the role so they're probably ok with it.
No. To you know how often they cange the Script. Often stuff is only atted after they Signed on. Have You reasurched it? Do You realy know or are you just playing IT down.

ok in the 70s and 80s we fried ourselves in the sun with baby oil, so an author of a certain age may associate baby oil more with that than babies lol
Sure but it also started with yogi firm buttocks 😭 No context allowed
Dude, there's a British comedy duo named the two Ronnies and they did that "the feminists" thing decades ago except for them it was an excuse to put women in SS style uniforms and themselves in dresses. The sketch is called the worm that turned if you're interested.
That also sounds like a kink
10:30 : I have a friend who was in the hospital recently. When she woke up (she was unconscious for days) She asked for clothes, makeup and hiking equipment. She still wanted HER shampoo and conditioner even after she realized she was in the hospital and could not actually move to wash her hair. This is absolutely a thing.
That’s sad
@@mimitogamiit’s a way to normalize her condition somewhat and to not feel completely deprived of agency over her body - how it looks, how it smells, etc.
How is your friend doing now? Hope she's doing well.
@@lasennui Much better, actually! Sadly, the hiking equipment was lost. But she has super cute new clothes!
so the viewing of freckles as "ugly" is unfortunately deeply rooted in various types of discrimination, particularly relating to ethnic & cultural minorities in various countries around the globe. it goes in direct conjunction with considering redheads "soulless" or "ugly". red hair is associated in much of continental europe (italy, spain, poland, russia, etc.) with jews (and was used as a basis of "identifying" jews during various progroms, including but not limited to the spanish inquisition). in china it is associated with uyghurs and other non-han ethnicities, who more often have red hair & freckles. in the UK and US it is widely associated with celts, specifically the irish, and hatred toward those with red hair and/or freckles goes hand-in-hand with anglo-saxon supremacy.
in summary, the reason why freckles are often considered "ugly" is because of racism & antisemitism.
I think freckles and red hair are one of the most attractive things a girl can have.
@@helvete_ingres4717 1. i am not american. i have never been to the americas, let alone the US.
2. have you heard of the welsh? the scottish gaels? the manx? really. celtic people exist. in fact, look up pan-celticism! its a thing. seriously.
3. these things _were_ and are racialised in the UK. do i really need to explain every aspect of discrimination by the english against other groups?
4. anglo-saxon supremacy is a real thing. look it up. it takes _one_ google search to find this out.
5. the british monarchs arent relevant here. nor does their existence immediately disprove any and all discrimination. actually just shut up on this; you dont know what youre talking about. its honestly insulting.
It's cool and all but could you back it up with a source? I have no problem believing this could be true but if your going to make wild statements please give a source.
Me, an italian, who always associated freckles with gorgeous irish people: *i've been, quite possibly, bamboozeled*
The freckle hatred us uncalled for and honestly baffling.
I know, right???? Freckles are adorable
I'd love to see a review of that book but obviously don't do anything that you're worried will hurt your sanity
Men making compliments that aren't actually compliments drive me insane and make me so uncomfortable 😭😭
As a guy I’m sorry to hear that. What kind of compliments would you like to hear?
@@huntercoleman460Fail proof way to compliment anyone. Use words like cool, rad or awesome and compliment on something they control like hair, makeup, shoes, clothes etc. So say things like you have rad shoes, or you have cool hair.
@@a.g.r1350 how about this? What pretty cool hair you have.
how about "you look breedable" /j
I vote that you read the terrible book.
I'm so depressed & your content brings me a lot of comfort, thanks for being an oasis in an otherwise unforgiving landscape, Sybil.
Swaying jauntily, like two pears, blowing in the breeze. XD Or would apples be better? Or... oranges? lol. The moment you read that they looked like fruit, I saw a pair of plums. Very small, in other words. That's the problem with using "fruit" as a descriptor... boobs don't look like fruit. And since the fruit wasn't specified either, it could be any. XD
Pineapples 😂
I feel like most the time the "context" we are missing is that the narrator or character is meant to be terrible. Which is usually noticeable from the text we are given.
I just have to say for the directions for kissing, if you hold someone else’s right hand it will cross between the two people that sounds very uncomfortable lol It’s like shaking hands in the US
Yup. The first time my ex and I held hands we ended up like that, sitting together and just increasingly laughing together because of how awkward it was.
Can we acknowledge how good of an actor Sybil is for a second😨
06:22
I have ONE context where that would be acceptable!
A mermaid or someone with scales on their feet seeing human feet for the first time and being genuinely surprised!
The dramatic period read could work in a horror story about a group of castaways that washed up on Komodo Island. Her period starts and suddenly they're being attacked by a bunch of dragons.
Then again, if that premise was given to the same writer he'd probably turn it into a plot of "she needs to get pregnant to not have her period so she can survive" 🙄
I am currently writing/publishing a series of YA/scifi novels, and even before I got tips and feedback from beta readers and a paid evaluator, I knew to keep descriptions of my female characters brief, to the point, and to NEVER describe their naughty bits (or the naughty bits of ANY characters). Plus it’s a good tip not to get too detailed into the descriptions of characters in general because the readers like to imagine the characters a certain way anyway. Maybe even though I’m a “new” author (been writing for decades, but new to making published works) that I get it when so many others don’t.
Happy new month, my goodness, this is bad. I thought it was bad when breasts folded inwards when depressed, became sepient, had eyes, were aware of anything, made noises, broke off and floated, able to look around, stand to attention, lay flat when a person is on thier back, rose upwards when the sunlight hit them, bounce around with the mood. The whole genre of men writing women badly is just huge and a lot of them use women's names to hide themselves.... oh....and apparently vagina's are hoovers now. I am in a lot of FB groups and I see a lot of cringeworthy posts. I wonder how they can get away with this....and with the technical poetry naming of things.
To be fair, I think the vaginas as vacuums thing is an attempt to give women more agency during intercourse instead the far more common descriptions of men plunging into, plowing, impaling, etc.
Please do read the book, I'd love to know what happens lol
PLEASE i would love a strange aeons style review of the feminist apocalypse book!!
Honestly, sometimes it feels like my period is terminal, complete with the 5 stages of grief (thanks hormones).
Saaaaaame
I like how the use all these descriptors for breasts, but if they were applied to describing testicles... Eeeewww!!!
I had no idea tarantino was that guy in that scene.
That book was written as if 1992 was in the far off future... my guess around 1972.
FYI: I looked it up, it was first published in 1971!
Yes! The sequel we've all been waiting for!🙌🙌🙌
I would love to see a video reviewing that book but I can’t promise I’ll make it all the way through the video
I'm not sure of the context of the makeup in the hospital thing from the show, but I remember when one of my family members was in the hospital after an emergency surgery she did ask for her husband to bring makeup. It mostly had to do with her being unable to do much else and feeling out of control. It was one thing she could do to entertain herself without using much energy/walking around and to feel a little more in control of her situation.
10:27 I think that scene is from an italien movie called "Beyond the Darkness". From what I can find the context is that the woman on the hospital bed is the fiancé of that movies main character and is dying, so she want to kiss the main character one last time. I guess that is why she wants to wear makeup.
I completely lost it at the Harry Styles impression
Intimacy coordiators are in the new union contract and should be stopping most (hopefully all) of the nonconsenual hanky panky arising from power imbalance.
I think you'd really enjoy seeing the various ways they can make people look completely naked while they aren't showing even a millimeter more than they're comfortable with.
I dunno, that "The Feminists" book seems true. Things are hard for men like me, these days. Why just the other day I complimented a women and was executed by firing squad.
That's so sad, i hope you get better
Get well soon 🕊️
Thoughts and prayers
I didn't know there were ghosts on here.
If a woman ever compliments a man, they immediately assume we are flirting, and start creeping on us. Can't say I pity you in any way.
NAU LUV I CANT BELIEVE IT 💀also fun fact, the reason why we all get crankier and moody on our period is because the testosterone in our body increases during our period (the hormone in men ) so on our periods, we're just acting more "manly"💀"aggresive and mean" much haha lol not me laughing at myself BAN ALL MEN SIGN HERE ❤
Can us trans guys be the women’s allies?
@@Reiivenabsolutely 🫶
Kinda gave me gender euphoria as a pre trans man lol
@@ReiivenOfc, most of y’all are actually sane
While that is technically true you're only more aggressive because your bodies aren't tailored for higher amounts if testosterone, causing drastic changes in behaviour, similar to how male behaviour changes when they have higher levels of oestrogen (the hormone present in females)
as someone with tons of freckles, who got bullied for them, it was hilarious to read that. Also, it is hilarious to see freckles become a trend 😆
Ya, that last one was probably the grossest fs. I laughed pretty hard at the ‘promise to a threat’ boobs cause my mind went straight to Austin Powers too lol
That "jaunty swaying" bullshit is why I can't always go outside without a bra, men just making us self conscious in every way
I read a lot, and I’ve read popular books that remind me of r/menwritingwomen, it happens a concerning amount
Periods feel like a terminal illnesses
The how to kiss illustrations look like a guide to helping someone who has something stuck in their throat but can breathe
I think men confuse periods and lycanthropy
Actually, a plot twist where it looks like a character just has a really bad period cycle and turns out to secretly be a werewolf sounds pretty cool! I’d probably rather read that one from a female writer though
I love how accurate that accidental aussie no was. Like damn weird men, but like also that no
can i just say that "jauntily" feels real extreme for how fruit would mive in a breeze .. maybe wind. like moderate or heavy wind. jauntily is like bouncy
Omg, if kissing was really that difficult I’d just opt out of it completely and find a better hobby 😂
I'm fairly ambivalent about an episode dedicated to that brainless book, tbh. That said, just a little factoid: The book was set in the 1990s, but it was written in the 1970s. To put it bluntly, considering the political atmosphere of the 1970s this guy could not possibly be writing from any mindset other than blind, raging paranoia. Feminism certainly existed back then and was in a growth period but in no way was it any threat to a "man's world". Quite frankly it was considered no more than a bad joke.
Honestly, despite the crap we're going through today its substantially better than it was back then, despite the current efforts to reverse it. Most of the pushback in the 70s wasn't so obvious back then, though. You had the religious pressure and sometimes violence of course, but the main "weapon" against feminism was widescale gaslighting more than anything else.
This Cooper dope quite literally had fuck all to be paranoid about. He's was just some scared asshole lashing out at a non-existent enemy.
“Men envisioning periods as this murderous monster” is the exact vibe I get from Jaz Sinclair’s character in Gen V. She literally kills her entire family with the blood from her very first period.
Let a girl have hobbies
Tarantintoe almost made me choke on a french fry
11:40 sooo.... What men have done to women and the world for centuries?....
Don’t worry. My hair looks more like a clown than a person when I blowdry it too and my hair is pretty fine
Quinton - I have the power to make women do anything
Also Quinton - I want to make a woman degrade me
........... interesting use of power ..........
longer hair looks so good on you!!
Please read and review that feminist book, sounds like a riot!
I think the "fruits in a breeze" guy just wanted to say they jiggled in purple prose
3:17 listen I'm Australian and I had this on in the background but when you did this I looked up like "what?" Cuz it sounded exactly like 50 people I've met in my hometown djsjsjks
i wasnt prepared for the tarantin-toe joke. caught me off guard
oh man i was not ready for that book cover holyshit you could do a whole video dissecting that one image
“Two fruits swinging jauntily in the wind” me and my gf swaying back and forth listening to music.
I would be so down to watch you give a run down on that trash book!
Omg! I got Pennywise right away, too😂 You snatched the words right out of my mouth!!!😂
I definitely am turning this on to listen to while actively writing for nano. I regret nothing and know damn well i wont manage more than a paragraph. 😂 😂
Cannot get over "Her bosom changed from a promise to a threat" like what?
Did her chest just go 🤖 from boquets to AKs???
As a man wanting to write women, this is very informative
It's easier than you think. Basically just write women how you would describe your best friend who is a woman and then occasionally check in with girls about questions or your scenes if you are in doubt.
Becoming feminist and enlightened will also make it even easier!
I am a dude and this is some stuff I do to keep it respectful.
On the makeup part - sometimes it just makes you feel better and in control.
Completely off topic but I have those exact same dragons in your background.
I got so uncomfortable when you were trying the kissing technique lol
"Swaying jauntily" is such a wild phrase
I heard he freckle thing and it just reminded me of the time that my (now ex) boyfriend was telling me that freckles are ugly, I'M COVERED IN FRECKLES, I was so hurt ngl, because it was literally just hearing from my s.o. that I was ugly, and like ik I'm ugly but it hurts to hear it from my s.o. because there supposed to say that your beautiful/ handsome even if you know there lying
I love how the book summary capitalizes “THE FEMINISTS” the same way Star Wars books capitalize “THE EMPIRE”
I absolutely need a copy of The Feminists!
Banger video dude but also that cat is so cute
The “out of context” argument is insane. No amount of context would ever justify any of the “men writing women” atrocities I’ve seen.
Also JAUNTILY SWAYING 🤣 No.
Some books exist that are meant to be from the POV of a serial killer, or an abuser, or a pervert, etc. Knowing the context that the narrator is supposed to be bad makes a pretty big difference.
3:58
The way you describe that makes me think that men think that we're Werewolves and honestly
I wish
I will patiently wait for a the feminists review, good luck in life and Godspeed Sybil
I can only see a woman asking for makeup in a hospital bed if she was dying and wanted to look decent when dead idk.
That, or she’s a beauty influencer and is determined to keep making videos even when she’s in the hospital.
I like for that one, the author could've said that her eyes now held a threat instead of promise, they decded to use boobs instead.
Always good for me (an aspiring writer and a man) to see videos like this. Writing like this is so appalling and i hope to never even come close to becoming such a deranged individual that thinks you can tell a woman’s emotion by her bosom
Please review that book! Id love that
This is great. I have to write about a female intern from the pov the villain, and some of this will be useful for creating the right amount of ick for that
🤣🤣these are classic, even from a neutral man’s perspective. Let’s me know that the only bullet I failed to dodge in writing, was that I should have researched what a Courtesan was before I began using the term. One instance was understandable: a ruthless woman with ambitions of her own empire who started out playing men like a musical instrument, often killing them when she was done with them, in untraceable ways. That one I let stick, but I probably should have looked it up.
But I am looking at those descriptors and their reasons and motives thinking
“Whew! Glad I dodged that one”
Are those wings of fire dragons on your wall?
"yoga-firmed buttocks" is an excellent band name
Perfect shirt choice for this
The one saving grace of Tarantino is that at least it's consensual. The actress read the script before to accept the role so they're probably ok with it.
Of course. But I'm wondering if she knew he was going to play that part before she was cast.
No. To you know how often they cange the Script. Often stuff is only atted after they Signed on. Have You reasurched it? Do You realy know or are you just playing IT down.
I actually liked that line about her bosom turning from a promise to a threat. XD
5:04 i legit came up with the same nickname for him on my own! I didn’t know it was a thing! I’m glad it is!
I would to see a review of that book, as long as it doesn’t affect your sanity.
New viewer here, please for the love of God read that book! Also I'm subscribing because I've never had so much wtf in my brain at once before and now I might be addicted.
I have four daughters, and when I read some men writing about women, I think, "Has this guy even met a woman before?"
