100% of the women I became more than arms-length friends with during my college years confided in me about their history of SA, at the hand of men.
On the other side, only 1 of the men I became more than arms-length friends with during that same time period confided in me about their history of SA. This was at the hands of his father. Tragic, awful, evil, but ultimately singular.
Yes, women are perpetrators in SA. Yes, men are victims in SA.
But I think it's highly unlikely that the rates of either occurrences would ever reach 100%, no matter the skew of the data.
Mayhaps the men felt less comfortable confiding in me. I'll never know. But what I do know, is 100% is way too high.
I saw it yesterday and agree 100%. You expressed my experience perfectly.
I wanted to watch it again immediately after.
I'm seeing it tomorrow. I can't wait! I remember in like 2008 they said the movie would come out in 2016 and it felt so far away to little me. Now it's almost 2025.
I was reluctant to see it because I felt like splitting it into two movies was a cynical cash grab. But I've changed my mind after seeing clips of the film/songs online. Grande and Erivo really are amazing in this movie. I doubt I'll see it in cinema (two hours with no intermission is too much for me LOL). But I'll totally buy it or watch it on streaming
So no trans characters to put up with?
Nope, all clear! However, there's slight homoerotic tension/a moment between Fiyero and one of Glinda's male friends (essentially, he's fawning after him in a comedic scene. It's honestly quite funny, lol).
Excellent!
Having younger children this is what I was wondering.
It might be the kind of magical experience millions of children in the 20th center remember with the Wizard of Oz. Now we have two "favorite movies" based on a classic feminist story, with great music.
