I know the meme response is to say “IN A ROW???”, but I’ve had at length discussions about this fictional woman with people, while we were stoned.
We came to the conclusion that she is a tortured soul. She has no self respect, and is trying to fill the void of a lack of a father figure in her childhood by rebelling against the concept of a monogomous relationship. Because if she admits to herself that a traditional relationship can be fufilling, and that a man can love her, then it also proves that love is real. And if love IS real, it proves that her father didn’t love her. She’s just not ready to face the question of “WHY NOT???!!”
Meanwhile, her boyfriend is COMPLETELY oblivious to all of this, and wonders why she’s being such a bitch. So he ends up being a victim. She ends up being a victim. All because some guy 20ish years earlier was an uncaring or maybe absentee father.
And it’s easy to just say he’s an asshole, but he’s likely got his own reasons too. Maybe financially speaking, he couldn’t even support himself, let alone a family. Maybe he wasn’t even told he had a daughter. Just had a one night stand, and never thought about it again. Maybe he’s dead. Maybe he’s in jail. Theres an unlimited number of reasons why he could be an asshole, and at the root of it all is ANOTHER person or situation making HIM a victim too.
And so, how far deep do you go? How far do you trace the roots of societies cruelty simply using a joke about a woman committing infidelity 37 times from an independant comedy movie about a group of slacker stoners that came out 30 years ago?
This is what my brain does to me. It doesn’t lead me down rabbit holes. It CREATES them. This is a fictional woman, whose events never happened, and I’ve logically crafted an emotional backstory dating back to the 1970s, based on a joke about sucking dick in a movie so poorly funded that it’s literally the official last movie released in monochrome, simply because it was cheaper. Not artistic direction.
