    Default Why Is No One Talking About the 'Toxic Femininity' On the Left?



    Newsweak ran a piece about Jada Pinkett-Smith’s appearance on a 2017 episode of Watch What Happens: Live with Andy Cohen. Pinkett-Smith casually discussed “rumors” surrounding the Smith’s marriage.


    But the media accounts focus on Jada Pinkett-Smith’s being the butt of the joke or being the person Smith was “protecting.”

    My question is, Why wasn’t Jada protecting Will? This was the greatest moment of his acting career, and with one look from her, he took an un-called for action that threw it all away.

    That’s toxic femininity. That’s not a woman looking for protection, she is looking to destroy.

    And Pinkett-Smith did.

    The damage continues to roll out with every video of past interviews and interactions, and probably will for years. This is what people will remember about what used to be considered a great success story and a fine acting career.

    Any good woman would not have allowed for it to happen.

    That good woman would have reigned Smith in, because there is a moment and a time for every work, and what happened that Oscar evening wasn’t it.

    Pinkett-Smith is not a woman who is interested in being protected or interested in protecting anyone else. In marriage, you have the best interest of your husband and family in the forefront. Pinkett-Smith only sought to serve her own interest.

    Toxic femininity at work.

    Then there is the glaring example of toxic femininity playing out in the courts: The defamation trial of Amber Heard and Johnny Depp.

    I have little respect for any woman who manipulates a broken man and drives him further into degradation. While Johnny Depp is a remarkable talent, it is evident that like Smith, he is broken to the core. Depp and his sister testified to this during the trial, and those who have watched his career have seen bits and pieces of that trouble play out over the years.

    The couple married in 2015, and after a publicly tumultuous 23 months, finalized their divorce in 2017. Despite his personal struggles, Depp had garnered a reputation as a quality and professional actor and a stable family man (he was with Vanessa Paradis for 14 years).

    Heard wrote a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post detailing how she was a victim of domestic abuse. Depp's reputation was trashed and that he lost work because of it. Depp officially sued his ex-wife for $50 million, and after much legal back and forth, Heard counter-sued for $100 million.

    Stories of abusive and toxic men abound, but in this case, the spotlight is being shone on an abusive and toxic woman. When you admit to having to lock yourself into rooms and bathrooms to get away from your abusive wife, and that your sobriety was tanked because of this, it is obvious that you’ve been whipped. Depp testifying to having a piece of his finger sliced off by a broken Vodka bottle that Heard threw at him is also a distasteful detail and reflective of the type of person she is.

    Women obviously SCARE the OP



    He has faulty testicles


    Women will chose the top their men with fully functioning testicles that don’t shrivel when a woman acts like a non half slave


    You weak men can easily be avoided for pairing and procreation



    There are plenty of real men in the world



    Their testicles don’t shivel so easily


    Boo

    Awe poor things


    I scared you huh


    Go buy a blow up doll


    That way you don’t have to be with those scary females

    Any person controlling another by intimidation and coercion is, to me, always a sad thing. Both for the controller and for the for the controlled.

    The incident in which Jada intimidated Will into his display of stupid over reaction was such a case. For me, they were both diminished by this.

    There was nothing in any of this that was complimentary to either. Therapy for each and/or both seems like it might be a good course.

    I'm not at all familiar with the Johnny Depp situation, but he's always seemed to be about a half a bubble off level to me. This is very much only a casual and uninformed observation.

    I wish the best for all of these folks, but they seem to be parts of a group that find ways to be miserable in spite of all the reasons they have, abundantly, to be happy.

    Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard is a juicy television event Netflix could have scripted

    Court TV is broadcasting the gory, inglorious showdown between actor Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard. We are into week three of the trial from Fairfax county court,Virginia; the unedifying drama that has unfolded could easily have been scripted for Netflix.

    That is, if the rather scatological details cleared the executives. Depp is suing Heard for defamation to the tune of $50 million over a piece she wrote in the Washington Post in December 2018, accusing him of domestic abuse. She is counter-suing for $100 million. In fact, the circus of a trial is, at least partly, a post-mortem on a beyond toxic marriage, one that has featured severed fingers (Johnny’s); drug binges (Johnny’s); alcoholic rages (both’s); and turds in beds (Amber’s, allegedly).

    Why did you amputate a shred of my thought and present it as if it was the whole thought?
