Love the incel worldview where every part of a woman's very complex, very traumatic, very painful life can be reduced to her relationship with a man. And the framing that being a single mom who has aids (which isn't even what she had in the movie) makes her worth less than she was before. Fucking gross. Dunno why this community isn't removing misogynistic trash.
I'm just gonna say what every woman has told me when I bring up how traumatized I am by the actions of women.
"Just because you've been traumatized doesn't mean it's anyone else's problem"
So yeah. Fuck Jenny and her bullshit sob story. She didn't deserve forest and he only stayed faithful because he was mentally disabled.
Love that you characterize sexual physical and emotional abuse by multiple men, including her father, throughout her lifetime as a sob story. Yeah, sounds like they told you it's not anyone else's problem specifically because you're a misogynist and are using your past trauma as justification.
You literally know nothing about my experiences but because I'm a man you immediately downplay them lmfao get bent and blocked
Nah it's cuz you described her being sexually physically and emotionally abused by dozens of men throughout her life as a sob story. You told on yourself.
A sad story that is used to sway other’s opinion of your actions is a “sob story”.
Username checks out
I'm sorry why is it okay to make fun of guys for being traumatized by women but not vice versa?
This is a legitimate question btw I'm not just trying to be an ass. My whole life was controlled by the women around me to the point I'll probably never be able to have a healthy relationship again and I wanna know why that's okay to make fun of.
Maybe we should extend compassion to everyone instead of removing it for "equality."
Sorry you had some shitty experiences with women, that sucks, but if your reaction is "everyone should get this shitty treatment" then I kinda lose sympathy for you because you're putting more hate into the world.
Do you even understand what quotation marks mean? WeirdGuy didn’t say that.
I wasn't literally quoting him.
Which is totally fine. Your usage of them as you did would be called a scare quote.
You sure as shit don't. They used the quotation marks just fine. So fine in fact, that this usage you are so against is a well established grammatical device, look up "scare quotes".
Have you joined a men’s group? I have a similar history with women, and the men’s group is the only thing that could have helped me out of the hole they put me into.
I'm sorry you've had bad experiences with women but that doesn't mean women can't also have bad lives.
He didn’t imply that it had. If you’d like to demonstrate your respect for this human being, read what he wrote.
I did. Up above he said that because other women have told him just because he's traumatized doesn't make it anyone else's business that he can hold the opinion that Jenny is a piece of shit.
He is using actions women have taken against him to justify his own callous attitude. Let me know if I misreading something.
Wait did I miss the part where they were ever in an official relationship? She's shown with multiple partners. I really don't see how this was a sob story. She never asked him to save her, she never took advantage of his money, she raised young Forrest alone until just before she died. She had a fucked up life starting with her physically and sexually abusive dad and took until just before she died to find peace.
Actually, she did have HIV in the movie, the screenwriter confirmed it a few years ago. She did have hep-c in the book though.
