Also, it must be said: She looks FANTASTIC!

And they were both very good looking people in the 90's, but holy shit, the difference in their appearances now is crazy! Life has not been kind to John Bobbit.

But at least from this teaser, it seems like the Insider really took the tacky/sensationalizing route...

Also, I get very sad when I bring it up and people have no idea what I'm talking about.

Lorena Gallo handled herself courageously and gracefully through the whole ordeal and went on to help women who had suffered similar abuse. She's a real heroine, IMO.

IMO it's a hangover from Bush Administration power trips and their ilk. (We had 8 years of them, remember.) When a fish begins to stink it starts at the head.

I think the big difference is that this happened before the 24-hour news cycle and internet saturation coverage. It would have been even more grossly sensationalized and overblown today. Not sure that would necessarily lead to more victim blaming or not...

As @Ionic: said, it's strange (because I have the feeling too) that the 80's/90's were a much better place for women than now. Although (I hope) that now we're just feeling a backlash.

So, things have maybe not changed much but I don't think we've gone backwards. Yet.

P.S. Not to say that being a housewife is unrewarding, but many women had no other choice available to them.

Outside the US, there was very little public awareness of sex trafficking and other human rights atrocities against women in other parts of the world. There were significantly fewer female leaders in other nations, too.
I'll take where we are right now, thanks.

The answer is, not good. And it doesn't work particularly well.
Karma's a bitch.

had to friend you for that, btw.

We most emphatically do not. Trust.

Wait, don't. Lemmy Kilmeister from Motorhead has the best cameo - picks up severed penis off of ground, and throws it.

And you can't really tell from that short clip but there's this lack of empathy or remorse behind his eyes. His first reaction to the claims of rape and stalking is an emotionless face and denial.
