    What are you talking about?! Men and women do even more together than that and have you ever heard of actors?

    @@user-zc2ek1sq2h Of course, but I am assuming that these are regular people who went into speech and debate or something of the like. I personally wouldn’t be able to have /anyone/ behind me making all sorts of movements, it’d cause too much stress and anxiety. So I was saying that she must trust this guy a lot to do that. 🫂 Please note: I did not mean for “man” to be the emphasis of the statement lmao

    Damn! This was so outstanding, I don't have words for it. It actually scared me a bit. I thought she might attack that guy for a little while there, she was getting so loud and outraged...lol. I mean, i was feeling bad for her, then i started feeling bad for myself, well not me personally, but men in general who place themselves in situations that demean the entire gender and make us look beyond bad, just evil. But just the way the things were presented and acted out, was just extremely well recited and well-acted. Outstanding job.

    If rape cannot be portrayed, it cannot be spoken about and ppl can merrily continue to pretend it doesn't exist. How much have ppl learned from Law and Order SVU? Where wud they learn it otherwise? The blank pages of the history books? This comment is abt the title of this video. I don't hear her denouncing watching portrayals of rape but mentioning one that I assume she found to be in bad taste. Things like rape, racism etc can't just be things we don't see on TV. That's pretending they don't exist.

    Seems very carefully choreographed. And effectively. Putting more performance in performance poetry than usually seen. I'm struck by it. It's gonna rummage around in my head for a few days. I think it's a form of awe that has struck me.
