#mcrpi7 Honestly, kudos to Zeitoun for being that devoted to his work, but personal health has to come before work sometimes.

#f2irpi7 A1: I struggle to understand the different emotions of Josie and the Mother. They both told me to go, and now the world is rushing past us at large speeds. Josie's face looked sad though. What was Klara supposed to do?

#f2irpi6 A1: Domin: "rOboTs dOnT hAvE sOUls. theyre just mechanically intelligent."

#mcrpi5 A1: Old white men: “I don’t have a racist, sexist, ableist, etc. etc. etc. bone in my body!” Also old white men: “Why is your articulation ‘wrong’?” “Why can’t you just be ‘normal’?”

#mcrpi5 A1: If only Joe's heart had the capacity for love, loyalty and strength, maybe it wouldn't have been as fragile as this:

#f21rpi5 A1: Wait, Madarian, if women are inherently less intelligent than men, meaning that men have more intellectual capacity than women, does that mean y'all also get hit over the head more often?

#mcrpi4b A2: Dang I really hope Joe never dates anyone with a deathly nut allergy. I suppose giving unique gifts tailored to someone’s personal interests never occurred to him.

#mcrpi4a A1: The beauty of ✨menstruation✨ 1. Women have to learn about it 2. Women have to experience it 3. Men know everything about it

#f2irpi4 A1: Recipe of The Perfect Home 1 self-cooking stove 200,000 cleaning mice 4 automatic doors 1 Stepford Wife of your choosing Bonus: it can even do a little jig at your request!

#f2irpi3 A1: Dang that trifle looks good - it's like, perfectly edible, but it's not like a wife spent 24/7 intricately placing each piece of fruit on the dessert to please her husband. Imagine that: admiring imperfection.

@Rhodesch435 Yeah, it's also like, the trifle is a trifle. As in, the cake thing, as well as the perfect domesticity of the wives, should be insignificant to the men in favor of these women's characters. I think them husbands forgot to look up the full definition of the word trifle.

#f2irpi3 A1: So I looked up what a trifle is cause that just looks like pudding to me And it turns out a trifle is that cake thing but it's also something of little value, or something you don't really care about Women are trifles to men in these stories Am I right or am I right

@ElenaHaase Ikr? I mean, what even gives them the right to make us feel that way in the first place?? Like when a man stands up for himself, society's all like "oh yeah, that's completely fine" but when any female tries to do that, we're sensitive?

#mcrpi3 okay but I'm 100% sure that this gif is a visual representation of when a guy calls me a girl instead of a woman. like I want to correct him, but then I'm afraid he'll make fun of me or tell me I'm being too sensitive, LIKE A LITTLE GIRL. it's a lose-lose scenario lol :/

#mcrpi3 A1: If I had a nickel for every person in my life who completely discounted my opinion, or straight up just overlooked my existence, and I didn't say ANYTHING... Like I get so angry about "The Yellow Wallpaper" and her submissive attitude and yet who am I to talk??

@Abigail__MCL Wowww.... I love how the literal definition of speaking doesn't even include the mannerisms Mali was talking about and yet so many people every single day believe that they need to abide by societal norms to be heard.

Did I really just listen to this man essentially read me the definition of speaking for 7 minutes and 47 seconds? #mcrpi2a

@Evan7865 I completely agree! I also think this idea relates to the situation with Griffin's photo and Clinton. Whereas women in that scenario were seen as inferior to men, this song portrays the opposite.

#f2irpi2b A2: The song offers a strong reinforcement of the ideas that Beard expressed. While it may be true that women have been historically silenced, a song like this creates the opposite sentiment. The woman silences the boy. She has absolute control over everything about him

@c_jimmyy Additionally, the narrator is also like Medusa because she turns people to stone, just like the narrator of the song manipulates the Coin Operated Boy. The difference is that Medusa is forced to turn people to stone, whereas the narrator chooses to manipulate the Boy.

#f2irpi2b The song "Coin Operated Boy" connects to the Curse of Medusa text in a way that the Boy is like Medusa, controlled and serving someone. Medusa was now allowed to be in love with anyone when she was serving Athena, and the boy was only allowed to love the narrator.

#f2irpi2b A2: This song displays a scenario where a woman has power over a man, which contrasts Beard's portrayal of the inferiority of the female voice. However, neither portray equality between genders.

@Adam13300941 This could also relate back to the myth of Icarus, where he made the mistake of getting too close to Apollo and drowned as a result. Both suffer the wrath of the gods, like the video where her blank face displays a sense of helplessness, as if she is suffering the inevitable.

#f2irpi2a The woman in the video could be associated with Medusa, and the lamp switching off could represent her beauty vanishing when she angered Athena.

@c_jimmyy I agree! Adding on, as was discussed in the article about Clinton, depictions of her head were not ridiculed nearly as much, demonstrating the systemic misogyny in western culture.

#f2irpi2a The woman in the video can relate to the photo of Kathy Griffin's Medusa moment. The woman has the same expression as Kathy Griffin, soulless and without words. This can relate to the issue of freedom of speech, in which Kathy was receiving backlash for the picture.

#f2irpi2a A1: The woman's expression in the video doesn't change when the light is on/off. Relating to Griffin's photo and similar depictions of Clinton, the lack of opposition to Clinton's head shows how female oppression is seen for those in the spotlight and in everyday life.
