Matilda by Harry Styles is for children who don’t have a good relationship with their mother(or father) and constantly feel like they need to be doing more. They can never express themsleves in front of their parents because they will be rebuked for it. They're constantly getting yelled at for no reason, always stressed, choke back their sobs and feel that they are a disappointment at all times.

If you take away the major plot from adolescence on Netflix-

It (ep.2 mainly) captures how fucking horrible it is to experience the English education system, from the teachers lack of control to student on student relationships. What a terrible place to be.

Episode 3 as a whole is a punch to the gut, but I believe one of the most important parts of it to me was the way they perfectly portrayed how violent men and boys will take advantage of “not perfect” victims to try and rid themselves of any responsibility for their violence.

Even at 13, Jamie is aware of that, subconsciously or not. He uses words like “bitch” and “slut” to refer to a 13 year old girl—a child he killed. He brings up her leaked photos again and again, talks about her comments and her treatment of him as if any of that should exempt him from his crime.

He already knows he has an advantage, for being a boy and having hurt a girl who’s not perfect and “pure”. The show drives this point home when that store’s employee tells Jamie’s dad he suports his son and talks badly about Katie. He says there’s more people who agree with him.

Because there are. The whole time, Jamie brings up “Katie was flat”, “she took nude pictures”, “she rejected me”, “she bullied me”. He still tries to paint her as the villain when he was the one who admitted he only pursued her because she was fragile and he wanted to take advantage of that.

He even claps himself in the back because he didn’t sexually assault her after he murdered her, as if that makes him a good person. (When he did in fact commit a sexual crime by looking at her naked pictures without her consent).

I think that’s the most vital part of the show. The way Jamie can’t comprehend what he did was wrong because he doesn’t view Katie as a person, not even in death. That’s his understanding.

I am studying to be a forensic psychologist and that episode was so well done.

[thatsmybook]

When she asks him if his dad has women friends and he's offended that she thinks his dad is cheating on his mum. Female friendship is not considered possible unless attraction is involved. Love from female friendship is not something he's seen modelled by his dad. His dad's mates are all men so his mates at school are all boys. Women are not seen as full human beings worth being mates with.

This was such a GREAT tv series , third episode was excellent, can't admire that psychologist enough.

A must-watch

[discord1895]

What this makes me think of, is how so many people-including women- always think of the “men and women can’t be friends” discourse only in thinking of cheating, if it’s disrespectful to your partner to have friends of opposite sex, in “friendzone” conversations, etc. and we really are missing the boat in how continuing to think this way contributes to the on-going dehumanizing of women.

It is not equal, it doesn’t dehumanize men in the same way, due to the overwhelming culture of degrading women. Even if you try and say “well both aren’t having friends of the opposite sex equally” the impact isn’t even close to the same. We need to model and achieve friendships without gender or sex being a component.

If you are perpetuating opposite sexes can’t be friends, you’re perpetuating woman being seen as objects.

December.

with twinkling lights and candy. with morning frost and icy cold in the air. with the longest nights and the darkest days. with christmas joy coping with it.
