Just watched The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker and felt so upset. Sure, Kai had serious issues and should be locked up but why no one looked into his rape claim and how about those showbiz people trying to exploit him? No real help. Still exploiting him now with this Netflix doc.

@CKliemt That can't be enough of a reason to dismiss it all. Women raped by friends and romantic partners in many cases would still meet the rapist afterwards.

I have a problem with people on social media who claim to be stay-at-home girlfriends/wives but do make money from content creation... Building your TikTok to over 100K followers, signing with an agency, and making 4K+ a video is a full-time career lol

@slaythestatic @novelistanna Nope. But the plot could be interpreted as helping a man kill a woman who wants to rule 🤷‍♀️ And her redeeming quality is that she's hot and wants kinky sex? Anyway, not my problem, simply a perspective.

Marrying a good man isn't an accomplishment per se. Working through your issues so you can even identify what it means to be a good partner and learning the skills to build a healthy, happy relationship is.
