Just a rando Friday night thought:
I wanna see more women becoming voices in action film discussion in 2026. The last 13± years have been cool but it's mostly a sausage fest, and some of these dudes are just enabled, untested dickwads who think they're cool but aren't. Something needs changing.

Too often folks gloss over these things because they can't be bothered with it, regardless of how others feel or have been impacted. That era of privileged thinking belongs in the dustbin of history.

I love to see certain men on here acting all outraged about this, when last year, those same men were taking sides with the guy who harassed my then-14-year-old cousin on Twitter.
After commentator Megyn Kelly seemed to downplay the youth of Jeffrey Epstein's victims, former child actresses and current teenagers took to social media to express outrage. n.pr/4o6Vfmi
