I’m disappointed in her and the showrunners. Emma used to be an empowered heroine who stood up for the weak and never took crap from anyone. *shakes head in dismay*
^^ x1000 this! I literally can’t even. I mean, I can understand that sentiment in relation to one’s children. Maybe in relation to one’s partner of 40 years. But, as a general rule, if someone you’ve been with for a hot minute makes you feel like the prospect of your death is only meaningful in relation to their well being, you’re either (a) a teenager in love for the first time, or (b) been psychologically brainwashed and likely involved with a narcissist. Just saying.
And on a different note, what in the everloving hell is JMo thinking? At least here in the US of A, our current political culture’s currently reveling in a pretty horrifically, disgustingly hostile attitude to women, their rights to their bodies, autonomy, and worth. So unless JMo has been living under a rock, that comment enters a very particular rhetorical moment, at least on this side of the pond. So for someone who is supposed to be playing an empowered female character, I find her statement to be irresponsible at best, and, at worst, gleefully embracing garden variety misogyny. There’s is not enough #headdesk in the world to capture how unimpressed I am with her, the show, and A&E.
