#ColiFam gave more $ 2 my students than my school
Y'all know I'm a feminist to the bone, but Ava's hyperfeminism is starting to bleed into this show and it's getting on my nerves.
1. Nova's professor. When Nova saw the young girl Jasmine, she commented "you still have a type". Not once was it addressed that the professor was unethical at least and a predator at most. Why - because we're celebrating bisexuality? Because we can't criticize black women? Because that was supposed to be a good thing? There is absolutely no situation where sleeping with your student is anything but unethical, even if that student is over 18. Yet on this show, it's presented as some sexy "older woman" fling. As a feminist and an educator, it disgusted me that this was never touched on, especially since we saw how Octavia manipulated Nova all over again!
2. Hollywood. My dude. Only one person in your marriage should be wearing panties, and I can't figure out who it is anymore. First off, no REAL bruh wouldn't have given Vi an earful for letting her abusive ex-husband into their home. Yes, it was Vi's house, but it was THEIR home. What she did was disrespectful and out of line, especially since Wood had already told that dude to get out of town. You're telling me he didn't even say as much as a "you could've been in danger"? NOTHIN'? Bullshyt! Now we got this moist-ass convo he's having with his boys about how maybe he should have handled that better. fukk OUTTA HEAH WIT DAT BULLshyt, MAYNE. Toxic masculinity is very much a thing that needs to be addressed...but not in this situation.
Wood already see that Vi so fukking silly (no, wait - I mean PTSD!) that she let a man who beat her ass into her house while she was home alone. If Hollywood hadn't put them paws on him, you know what would've happened? Jimmy Dale would've been all up at the diner...all up at the grocery store...suddenly got a need to move back to St. Joe's...you get the idea. Not only did JD deserve that beat down, I would've looked at Hollywood sideeyed if it didn't come to pass. Some dudes only understand one thing.
The worst part was that he *hadn't* just found out. He read all of that and never reached out to her. Unless he just read that book yesterday, there's no excuse. But we're supposed to believe that he was so concerned about her contacting her sponsor? Dude was trash.
