Stanley Kowalski... he was HOT, but also kind of an asshole, right?
what about you? do you think he was an asshole too? AND do you think there are still (many) men like him in current America? discuss | |

streetcar role aside, the 'bad boy' image has been popular forever. it's still hot today, even though we acknowledge that certain characteristics in a mate constitute 'abusive' (like how stanley emotionally abuses, rapes, beats women in streetcar which was a play that reflects the reality of life today for many women who are raped, beaten and abused and it's still accepted that men can just do what they want but i digress) i dunno. it bugs me, actually pisses me off to still see that abusive male role model sold as prince charming, but it's still a boys will be boys world out there eh? and not only that, we actually have women advocating that stuff too. | |

Stanley Kowalski (as portrayed by Brando) was great to look at, killer handsome, however, I never would have wanted to actually be with him. Do men like him exist today in America? Of course...but I think the difference of then and now is that back in the day, IMO, men were more up front and didn't try to hide it (their asshole-ishness). Men today like Stanley are a bit more deceiving at first, they play the prince charming role and the assholeness comes out later...but of course this isn't without a bunch of red flags flying out the ass left and right to give us women clues first, the thing is, most women ignore red flags because they can't believe that the guy is pulling their chair out, opening their car door and paying for expensive gifts and vacations.

If a man beat up his wife in my mom's neighborhood. All the other men in the neighborhood got together and beat the shit out of the man. Needless to say the man never touched his wife again. 99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment | |

It's funny when people confuse characters with the people who play them. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
