It's insane. I haven't finished it but I've been watching it until it drives me crazy. I highly recommend it if you fit the suggested "mature" audience. The author herself is somewhat controversial because of her position regarding a Professor at some university. It gives a lot of food for thought and it's not really farfetched. It's actually an accurate portrayal in parts of humanity/history. The most toxic parts of patriarchy and how it leads to abuse. The main character is angry, angry, angry and with good reason but it's also destroying her life. It takes the victim and makes her a perpetrator but can you actually be held responsible as a perpetrator if you're a victim?

It doesn't particularly interest me, but then again I guess I'm a member of the patriarchy.

Have they come out with a new season of it? It's a good one. You may be male but I don't get the impression you're of the patriarchal mindset. The show does make you wonder where victim ends and aggressor begins. Personally, I am of the believe that you err on the side of the victim. If a victim becomes the aggressor it doesn't diminish her or his victimization. It's sad because it can crumble a family.

Why won't your dad let you watch it? You know what sex is, right? Patriarchy. It has made me think about so much but it also leaves me feeling kind of empty.

The series has been on our list since it came out, but I know the old film and my wife read the book, so it never seemed urgent. Maybe one day.

My mom said that and I thought she was wrong but I guess she was right. She said the movie was terrible.

You can buy it on Prime and I thought about it but if it's terrible I won't bother.
