Sure its a code.
For men.

Which has been portrayed as part of the problem.

What's the code?

[pgardn]

Ah, limited knowledge of The Handmaid's Tale at this point. reserving final judgment until I read/watch.

The character is controlling fertility and the uglier feminine matron.
If you look at who she is controlling, it makes perfect sense for casting that she is relatively unattractive. It’s not rocket science. I heard about it from my wife. So there’s that.

[Winehole23]

oh right, she's pretty, so she can't say anything mean about another woman...at a press roast

[pgardn]

What's the code?

The code we men are not suppose to know.
We need to be told.

[Winehole23]

I thought the comment about Megyn Kelly was far more cutting and cruel, tbh

[pgardn]

You don’t think anything was implied about Sanders looks.
My wife, and now I, do.

[Winehole23]

I have no idea what you're talking about or how this relates to what Mic e Wolf said at press schmoozefest.

[pgardn]

So did my wife.

Where was she sitting?

[pgardn]

Then stick with disagreeing with my opinion that looks were apart of the jab to Sanders.
Call me a snowflake.

My wife, and now I, do.

I don't particularly mind that someone's looks came up. I recall Obama ribbing John Boehner for having orange skin at a previous one. Calling attention to a smokey eye doesn't seem beyond all decent bounds...at a roast.

Probabaly wouldn't be hard to find other comments making fun of people's looks over the years.

I find it interesting that you put Sanders up on a pedestal and seek to exempt her from the rough and tumble.

[Spurtacular]

Why? What convinced you?

I could tell you; but again, admit what you're trying to prove. Stop dancing.

[Pavlov]

Well, as it is a roast joke, I think one has to go out of one's way to be so offended at the Handmaid's Tale reference. Smoky eye doesn't register on my outrage-o-meter at all tbh.

[Pavlov]

I'm not trying to prove anything. Why are you so terrified to say what you think?

Part of this whole movement clearly involves the perception that men have glorified looks of females over other qualities. Women have clearly felt the look thing more than men. So much so that it does not help when women argue about trying to straighten this perceived problem amongst themselves. Especially between the older females that are more accepting than the young ones who are more likely to question why... Males are very visual sexual animals compared to females. But females are, imo, brought up to think about their looks compared to other women much more closely than men. So they tire of it.

This is my attempt and takes in understanding this movement.
It’s of course bigger than # mepoo

Yep.
Mine either.

But interestingly females picked this up big time.
The females around me anyways...

And I’m not crying for Sanders. She is a mercenary for a liar. I’m saying women basing part of a joke on looks is cruel considering the current climate of what women are complaining about. So the Uncle Tom thing from Wolf is even more ironic.

[Spurtacular]

I'm not trying to prove anything.

Don't even have to put the "fake quote"

[pgardn]

The person who really needs to comment is Sanders.
If she’s a good Trump Republican then she will not complain, so says my wife.

[Winehole23]

So you think Wolf was pandering to the male gaze, or something like that?

[pgardn]

So you think Wolf was pandering to the male gaze, or something like that?

No.

Just being mean because she knows women care too much about their looks and she knows it.
If she really wanted to dig at Sanders because of her distasteful job which she carries out like a good trooper, go for the looks as well. Because Sanders has been trashed already on her willingness to dance for a liar.

[Pavlov]

Actually you are faking it with the emojis.

Why are you so terrified to say what you think?

[Pavlov]

No.

Just being mean because she knows women care too much about their looks and she knows it.

But she said the smoky eyes were perfect. This is weird.

[Winehole23]

seems a bit of a stretch to me, but it's understandable that pgardn would stand with his wife against random Spurstalkers.

[Spurtacular]

I assure you my laugh couldn't have been more real. You can't even state that you are trying to prove anything. Worse yet, you don't get how pathetic that is.

[Pavlov]

I'm not trying to prove anything. I am asking you how you arrived at your conclusion.

You are terrified into submission because I asked you what you think. You proved that all on your own.

More than just my wife. Her friends as well. Relatives...

I gotta go running now. But I wish to take this up further as I have learned other things as well that I did not consider which I wish to share. And I can see where the frustration comes from with the males who don’t/are not fully aware of what younger females think and explain. My nieces one up my wife, my sister, and all their friends. I got things I wish to share and read the comments back at me.

I need feedback.
