ohhh ... but this also reminded me of all her body-shaming comments, too

Edited again to say, I'm at loss for words. How could anyone ever find the rape scenes on that show hot? I genuinely don't get it.

I'm not too worried about that kind of thing. It's a fantasy, not real life.

I'm more concerned about how long she talked about the show's sex scenes, and how much she contradicted herself by bringing them up (maybe keep it to yourself how much you enjoy scenarios like that with the type of personality you have?) while acting like Keith was a sexist villain keeping women down.

hitting the Handmaid's Tale section. i've absolutely jerked off to commander/handmaid fantasy. for sure. 100%. from the ceremony with the wife to sensual, secret late night scrabble.

For me, the show shot those scenes in an extremely un-titillating way. Like, objectively I saw that Fiennes was attractive, but everything from the set, to the blocking, to the dialogue, to the acting, to the costuming reinforced for me how terrifying the situation was and how disregarded and mistreated Offred was. I also feel like it went out of it's way to strip out any romantic element of the situation, like with poor Janine :'(

Also my husband and I realized that if we didn't have sex before watching the show, it wasn't happening that day, because we were both so turned off and horrified, lol.

Yes, and how can you trust someone who says "I'm being honest"
several times an hour.

Very surprised with how she approached this - loved her on Jeffery Self's podcast.

The title "Keith and The Girl" being sexist is soooo 2007. It's capitalized. Keith has covered this!

Well in the show, women are literally disassociating in order to get through the ceremony, Janine flees from having to go through the act again(after having her child ripped away from her and handed to someone else), Emily is the victim of FGM so she literally cannot experience pleasure in that way anymore, June cries afterwards.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i understand the horrors of using sex as a weapon against women during war and occupations. not to diminish that very real, tragic, dehumanizing experience..

...it's just he touches her thigh when he wasn't supposed to that one time and i came a little. sorrynotsorry

May the Lord open.
