"So you can get the story without living through the trauma." THANK YOU. It's the main reason I can't watch this show, but I want to know the story. Cannot make it through it; barely got through episode one, couldn't make it through episodes 2 and 3. Thank you again. Signed, A survivor.

@@nicks.4276 Yes, but you can still be curious and interested in the story. Similar to wanting to watch a horror movie because it has a good plot but you’re too scared to watch the whole thing. Recaps by someone else are easier and less scary.

@Picachki Жыл бұрын

I’m also curious but it’s just too graphic for me. Surviving something similar is tough enough but shows like this really enable a lot of processing. That’s why it’s good in a summary. But in detail it can become far to overwhelming. Just do what you are able to my dear! I wish you well on your journey towards healing. I’m healing too. ❤

I don't think they should watch this, but rather watch documentaries of hospitals made to take care of brides in the Middle East who have tried to light themselves on fire to escape forced marriages. See, liberal American women think that America is living in the Handmaid's Tale now because, oh no, there are laws regarding when abortions can happen. Or oh no. They get catcalled and the police do nothing. They have no comprehension how lucky we have it in this country. I know Indian women are high risk in a lot of ways in India, too :/ They literally dressed up in those dresses and sat out on our highest court's steps because they didn't want abortion rights to be determined at state level. Yeah, that's right. Abortion wasn't 'taken away'. Every state allows for them, in different circumstances, and people were acting like women are going to be forced to give birth no matter what. The press even tried to be like 'white supremacists forcing white women to get pregnant' but couldn't cite sources.
