Some theme park in The Netherlands does Halloween Nights in October and for this year’s promotion they made a little movie about a girl in a box being sold to ‘freaks’ (their own monster figures) who keep bidding on her while she freaks out. In the end she disappears into a shredder and gets killed.
The Netherlands is currently in an ongoing femicide epidemic where every 8 days a woman gets killed. It’s a hot topic for debate right now. Yesterday, a 17 year old girl was murdered while riding home after going out at night.
Needless to say it caused some trouble for the theme park.
I made a comment on their post saying how fucked up it is and I got replies from white men calling me a pussy and likes from women. Think that says enough.
All people arguing against it seems to be women. All in favor seem to be men. Society bottomtext.
Many such cases, unfortunately.
I’m just shocked to see again and again how men downplay violence against women and how little of them actually support people protesting against femicide for example
When you’re raised in a society that encourages men to view women as property, sex objects, baby makers, or something to mock it’s fairly common for the average man to belittle and infantilize women. I’m never shocked by it anymore, just disappointed.
Sad and typical. A very common story.
