So American women...

Claire Danes might not get her boobs out, but in the first series of "Homeland", she's seen rubbing a wet flannel over her pussy from front to back while hurriedly getting ready.

AdvanceIstheMan says > guess it's also okay for a woman to push her cheating boyfriend into oncoming traffic, since she got apparently got away with it.

You make a good point in response to the OP's comments. It is only a movie but I wanted to point out if the scene were reversed, if Sam had pushed Lainey into oncoming traffic and broken her arm there would have been hell to pay.

I am a woman but I am so sick of the double standard. Women always seem to get away with a violent, emotional reaction to cheating or just about anything else. They can do anything to a man and it's treated like it's justified. I'm not saying men should get away with such behavior either.

The same thing really bothers me in regards to sex. Women, with all our supposed desire to be like men always play the victim card like Lainey in regards to her relationship with Matthew.

She kept chasing after him but he was blamed for her dissatisfaction with the outcome of their association. She was even willing to drag Matthew's wife into it and Jake actually did. He caused her a lot of stress and distress even sending her into premature labor after attacking her husband.

These days young men get arrested for bad behavior while drunk but women are given a pass. This needs to stop. Recently there was the case of the college kid who tried to rape a girl who was passed out drunk behind a dumpster. There was outrage over what he did and the light sentence he got, and rightfully so, but the girl was lauded as a hero. She's no hero; she's pathetic! She was so freakin' drunk she wouldn't have known what happened to her.

I feel she was partially responsible for what did or could have happened to her. She put herself in that situation. It's like getting hit by a car. The driver is responsible but if you jump in front of the car you bear a great deal of the responsibility.

Bad behavior has to be discouraged on both sides and if drinking is what leads to poor judgment then we have to speak out against drinking and hold people accountable for what they do when drunk - on both sides. Why is it a drunk young woman can’t consent to sex but a drunk young man must pay for life for his discretion? If they're expected to have good judgment at all times then so too should the girls. We have to make the point that one can ruin their life or lose their lives as a result of a night of partying. Holding women to a different standard is what is causing a lot of them to be raped, go missing, and/or killed. It has to stop and the first thing we have to do is to stop acting like they're heroes or they're unwitting victims. A lot of people do things under the influence they would never do sober but we have to stop shielding women and girls and stop being afraid to say it all starts with them.

Movies like this, I feel, aggravate the problem. They do a disservice to society. The woman who pushed Jake into traffic was not held accountable but Matthew was arrested when Jake attacked him. All he did was fight back to defend himself. Had Jake been seriously injured that would have been on him since he started it. There are more examples but I rest my case - for now.
