IS IT OK FOR YOUR GIRLFRIEND TO ELBOW-KICK YOU IN THE PLEXUS?

by Anatoly IVANOV

CINEMA / SOCIETY / REVIEWS

Have I missed something? Is it now normal for white, post-doc women to elbow-kick their love interest and colleague in the solar plexus? And a black male one at that?

Furthermore, in this jaw-dropping scene of a Netflix series viewed worldwide, the man:

  1. does not block the blow (how did he survive through high school?)
  2. passively folds in half, choking (this one is normal)
  3. amicably crawls back into the abusive relationship (BDSM is all the rage?)

If we’re all about gender equality, wouldn’t a high kick to her head follow? Also, I thought that People’s Lives Matter™ or something? 😮
