- AD ・I've been thinking about women's pain and art recently - here are some half-baked thoughts while I do my makeup. Thank you Sky Cinema for working with me on this video! Each month I review a film that's new to Sky Cinema; recently I watched Don't Worry Darling as soon as it was released on the platform and had many thoughts!!

idk how but you are simultaneously my comfort influencer but also you probe the deepest parts of my brain and soul. it’s like eating a delicious comfort food that’s soooo yummy but also sooo nourishing
So so happy to be your comfort creator!! 💗
@@lucymoonas a boy I really like you and how you speak your mind ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really enjoyed this Lucy ❤. I saw a discussion the other day in a TH-cam comment section about Oppenheimer vs Barbie, and the discussion meandered into Christopher Nolan vs Greta Gerwig (the conversation was mainly being had by men). All of the comments about Greta were about how she makes ok films but there a bit boring and Oscar “baity’ compared to the genius of Christopher Nolan. I personally think they’re both fabulous, but I couldn’t help but think that the majority of men saying this stuff didn’t really understand that maybe the reason they were uninterested in Greta Gerwig’s films is because they didn’t relate to it, because to them there are just films made for men and badly made films (kind of linking to what you were saying about DWD). When I watched both Ladybird and Little Women I felt like Greta had somehow read my diary while also carving a bit of my heart and soul out and put in her films, and these men had the cheek to call her films boring!
florence's monologue in the art studio in little women has made me sob every single time i've seen it, and I just know that no cis man has ever experienced that scene in the same deep way
yes! i've been saying even before barbie, but barbie just proves it even more that Greta Gerwig is making films about women for women, and something about that is so revolutionary but it really shouldn't be. After watching little women I felt seen, beyond just relating to characters, in a way I never had by a film before and I can only imagine that is a feeling much more accessible to some men
Love this vid. I’m a 3rd year female PhD student in a STEM field at a uni here and part of the work is to work as a teaching assistant for potential PhD students currently in a kind of training period. We got the feedback for the module me and another female PhD helped with recently and got a very harsh review. The student referred to us as ‘girls’ who were just as ‘clueless’ as the main lecturer (also a woman). We work in computational chemistry which I will not lie is mainly error debugging, which we ofc had to do since the students were inexperienced so got a lot of them. We spent a lot of time digging through files to solve their issues and eventually everyone got good results so the module was a success. I wonder if we would have gotten the same feedback if we were men, we certainly wouldn’t have been referred to as boys. My supervisor told us that because we’re women we should always be more careful to act like we have all the answers, even if we don’t, because otherwise we won’t get taken seriously.
I appreciated you talking about a similar topic through the lens of art, the struggle is real.
Oh my god I’ve been there. It does not get better as you progress in academia; I still work with technicians who think they’re too good to be directed by a woman.
Reading this honestly breaks my heart.
Okay I had to watch this twice to absorb all the thoughts - I'm totally one of the people who dismissed don't worry darling because of the reviews, now I MUST go back and watch it! I think the 'growing a business' out of a platform is so interesting - for me I know I don't want to expand, it wouldn't 'spark joy' or whatever - and I wonder if I was a man I'd have felt the pressure to do it more, or have a more inflated sense of self that would inspire me to even though it wasn't right, or even been approached by managers to expand for me and just accepted it? At the same time as I'm sure there are female creators that SHOULD have made a business because it would have been right for them were they not doubting themselves, I wonder if there are men who really shouldn't have and are now mentally suffering the consequences. I snorted at the tongue in cheek 'sometimes I wish I couldn't read' sentiment, I feel that hard. I found the parts about childbirth SO interesting too but I'll stop rambling now. Just to say: I loved it, great job, more pls x
When I put the video up I was like “this feels like a leena video” 💗💗 totally agree re: not everyone should built their channel into a platform. The balance just feels weirdly gendered at the moment? And lmk if you watch DWD! 🤍
And love you xxx
Love the video lucy ❤ Just wanted to share - as a woman in STEM i feel so conflicted about promoting other women to come into STEM. Although i hope in time the culture will get better, its hard to justify encouraging women to come into STEM from a moral perspective. These kind of videos help validate that it is a complex world we live in- please keep creating them! Its good for the grey matter 🙌
What does this even mean why are STEM fields bad morally? Wtf
@@user-iz3ss5rb3z from what i've experienced, the culture in STEM lacks infrastructure to support women - other people might have diffrent views/experiences
I completely get what you mean. I work in building design engineering and so many of my coworkers who are women move away and you can't blame them! There's so much additional labour to make those changes in the industry and you can't blame people for not wanting to be responsible for that unpaid work
Fellow woman in STEM here - to offer a different perspective, yes the culture in STEM is incredibly harsh to anyone outside the white or Asian/able-bodied/male norm, but it’s also maybe the only field where a large minority of administrators and senior folks actively try and fix it.
I get really bad period cramps but I hate using them as a reason to avoid anything, even work. Last month, I dragged myself to work even though I spent most of the morning bent double in pain. I feel like I can't use my period cramps as a reason to not work because so many people have them as well, even though my pain is a valid reason.
The screen just goes blank from 5:03 - 5:07 btw. Not sure if it’s just a TH-cam glitch since I haven’t seen other comments mentioning it
I took a creative writing class in 2017 and my tutor said that if you write, you are a writer. I've referred to myself as a writer ever since, (if someone asks about my hobby). Some people are so weird about my confidence in this area, and the funny thing is, it's often other older women.
This is one of your best videos yet! I also enjoyed how you worked in the ad. It fit really good into your video essay.
I also really don't like being told (by men) to not take myself too seriously. Because I believe that if I don't take myself seriously, no one will. But I do think that you shouldn't take every aspect of your life seriously. Like hobbies are just supposed to be fun. Not every hobby needs to be turned into a side hustle.
5:03 the screen goes black 😶🌫️
Oh thank god - I thought it was just me when there were no other comments about it 😅
Thank you for mentioning, that’s so weird?? I’ll try and cut it out xx
@@lucymoonwhat were you going to say?!!! I have to know!!
Anyone else getting a glitch with black screen around minute 5?
I rarely comment on TH-cam videos but this really spoke to me, it's such an interesting topic and I think it's rarely really talked about for fear of backlash. I'm so curious to see how the Barbie film fares review wise etc. Obviously as it hasn't been released yet, it's hard to know what it will be like but I think having grown up around constant action hero marvel movies, which do hugely appeal and are aimed at and mostly cater to young boys and men, it's so rare to see something as big as this being released to the world which so many young girls have grown up with. I wonder will there be a reverse Bechdel test kind of reaction maybe...I think you are spot on with how so many women in film and the arts are not taken as seriously as men, but somehow people still feel uncomfortable to discuss it. Your video almost seems brave to make which seems so strange in this day and age. Thanks for speaking your mind, I think many women resonate deeply with your thoughts about this.
the bit about pregnancy really got me. you really articulated the way i’ve been feeling about having kids, even though it’s not impending. it’s like there’s this end of self somewhere in my future.
this is exactly what I thought too, but I’d never realised this is what I was feeling about having children
Motherhood is essentially all suffering and thankless drudgery with the occasional Kodak moment. You will give up your body, your autonomy, your earning power, the dynamic in your relationship, and many other things to be a mother. I'd say if you don't want motherhood more than you want anything else in the world, don't do it. I'd really encourage you to thoroughly research motherhood before you make this decision for yourself. Read all the books you can on it, including books about women who regret having children. I'd encourage you to look into pronatalism and how it's woven through society and government and policymaking. Also how motherhood is held up as the ultimate goal for women without women being fully informed about what is involved (which ties in with your friend saying society purposefully keeps women ignorant about pregnancy because if they knew all the risks involved, no one would do it. It's essentially an issue of lack of consent.) Okay, hopping off my soapbox now.
Personally I feel like I have come to a point where I am hesitant to engage in this conversation.
The last year or so I have listened/read so many stories of women discredited/humiliated/abused/in pain specifically in the reproductive area and the men in the comments have either not cared or celebrated it. One time I remarked that being a woman is being constantly gaslit and someone said "good".
There comes a certain exhaustion and yes "insanity" with the anger of dealing with misogyny and the inescapability of it.
I'm at a point where I am trying to embrace it and just become an absolute menace.
I'm trying to tune out the amped-up misogyny lately. Things have absolutely become more direct and out in the open. It feels slimy to simply be online lately because men are actively trying to compete against each other to see who can say the meanest and most hateful trash they can. Then they turn around and complain that women don't want to be around them...
There is now initiatives to promote offering investment to female entrepreneurs because it’s been acknowledged that women are less likely to be given finance to grow their business than men.
I would expect this is a major factor in why you see men running with concepts, because they are more likely to be able to secure funding to invest in the expansion of the concept regardless of of how much capital they have personally to invest in that concept.
YEEEEES I'm so here for the girly talks!!! makes me feel like all my thoughts and feelings are validated and shared by others, whilst also discussed in a more casual than academic way/space. would love for you to share some more ideas around this:) ps, makeup looking crazy good!! so so gorgeous
I know someone else mentioned Holo Taco as a brand started from a youtube channel (Christine) & I would also add real techniques brushes since Sam & Nik Chapman started on youtube (sisters & they're back making makeup tutorials every so often)
Real techniques is SUCH a good one, thank you!!
I think on the bit about pregnancy and birth, the «sacrifice your body» thing really bothers me. I feel like people so quickly start saying things that are genuinly quite abelist and mysoginistic. I think doctors saying the less you know the better is so dangerous and that attitude contributes to the dangers! We need more knowledge and less abelist ideas about «ruined» bodies tbh. Not saying we should be saying it’s all ✨magical✨ but I feel like a lot of people are falling into a trap of thinking the real horror is rooted in the pregnancy and birth when I think it’s actually in the medical and communal neglect you experience
I know so many scientist women with their PhDs who are being neglected compared to man and have to always be formal, while man can be funny and joking..
It's like--we're not supposed to feel things, because if we express them then we're being too much--too dramatic--too overbearing, but we're also meant to be giving and encouraging and loving. It's all very messed up! And yeah, the believing in yourself and your work? How are we supposed to get over that, and they're still putting women against one another. Too much. XD
As someone currently in the fourth trimester (for the second time) I really appreciate that people are unpacking and examining the glamourisation of pregnancy and child-rearing. Motherhood is holding two opposite thoughts/feelings together at the same time and have them both be equally true.
I don't disagree with the message of this video. However, don't worry darling just wasn't made very well (I've studied film). There was so much put into the movie that felt it was just there because it looked cool but made no sense. (For example, why was that one egg empty but the other weren't? Why did the world shake?) The film didn't give us any indication of what on earth was going on.
However, another Olivia Wilde film called booksmart is incredibly good and was really well reviewed. I think people were expecting something of the same level and then we're disappointed to find something with Little to no substance other than "women are treaded like shit, but we will be focusing here today on a very pretty white woman". It just didn't feel very intersectional for me
But women aren't taken seriously and that's not cool I'm not disagreeing with the video at all ❤
*spoiler alert* I agree with you though I had a theory about the empty egg and micro-earthquake - I thought it is showing subtle cracks in their reality, signs that something is going on that made the main character suspicious of the world around her which as we know turned out to be part of simulation
@@watchmydragonproblem6455 I think that's a good theory, that it's just the stimulation cracking. But I would have loved a scene with the leaders of the victory project trying to negotiate things going wrong
100% agree with this, but I think the absolute shit storm it received was unnecessary
All of this! I'm a dress historian and the way the field of dress history has been viewed and has had to fight for recognition as a serious scholalry field is insane. All because it's usually dominated by women and studiss "frivolous/ephemerall" fashion. It makes me so mad!
Love these video essays, they make me think harder about things I was only slightly aware of/thinking about.
Would really recommend the tv show Deadloch as an amazing piece of art. The female powerhouse on and behind the screen is beautiful and shows what can happen when a team of women believe in each other.
Loved this. Regarding pregnancy and childbirth. I’m about to have my 3rd. It is pain and suffering. It is dangerous. Your partner will never understand. The one way it improved my life is it galvanised me in every other area. To get shit done. Because once I gave birth I realised I am stronger than every male I’ve ever encountered. My idiot boss at work who thinks he’s God’s gift came from a woman. I’ve felt more powerful for sure. But I also feel like I’ve disappeared; you are automatically put it into the mother box, even by your friends. While your partner remains themselves.
Dear Lucy, Thank you so much for this video. I think it's so crazy how internalised the downgrading of women's work is, and I feel I notice it in my own insecurities and how I present myself. I'm really happy you talk about it and would love to see more videos touching on the subject. Have a great day :-)
I didn't watch the movie because of all the drama, how ridiculous, i will watch it and have my own opinion. Thank you for this video!!!❤❤❤
loved this discussion lucy! i'm generally really interested in womanhood and the male gaze, and am critical of people who put down 'girly' things and hobbies, but this brushed upon topics i hadn't considered, like the constant pain of women and confidence gap when it comes to women's creations (even successful women). definitely would love to see more of this!
your brain!
I think you would really enjoy the book ‘women in the picture’ by Catherine McCormack. She discusses how we have internalised and almost become blind to narratives and representations of female suffering as they are so common, as well as the power inherent in representing yourself and your own stories as women.
Also I really enjoyed the video!
This sounds SO up my street
I feel like the latest vanity fair comedy actress roundtable discussed this a lot, would highly recommend as a corollary to this conversation - there's a bit where they're talking about how women writer-producer-director "auteurs" who have created their own work are treated so differently to male auteurs, and not given the same level of opportunities that their male counterparts often are and it seems so obvious in hindsight but I had never considered it in that light. Super fascinating conversation all around
1. The movie: I only went to watch Don't worry darling in the cinema bcs of the whole gossip/drama on who did what with whom.
Let me just preface this by saying I did not like Florence in Little women, so I went into the movie not really expecting much.
And when I watched the movie, on the way home I could not stop talking about it. Since then I have watched it again with my boyfriend (let's just say I made him watch it) and I watched countless reviews and it seems like it was only me who had this profound anger about what was portrayed in the movie and how I feel like even in today's world the same is happening what I saw in the film.
It got to a point where I contemplated having no taste and thought that I find this movie good but it is actually shit, bcs so many people had bad reviews about the movie. I mean I don't really care about who played the roles. But the meaning behind it. I mean the dinner scene made my blood boil bcs I had something similar happen to me at work, and I felt so angry and helpless when noone believed me even though I brought evidence and put it in front of everyone and they rather believed the man in power...who I caught on numerous occasions and still noone saw it.
Donno why I still don't believe my own self instead of looking at what others think, bcs I promissed myself long ago to trust my gut feeling about things. And yet here I was...
And yes, I wanted to see more of the project and the neighbour lady's story too. And anyway more of the outside world as well. So you could say there was more in the movie and I would have wanted some more, but still, all in all, I find it kept for me the suspense until the end and I did not see it coming in the way it happened.
2. BUT OMG WHAT YOU JUST SAID: "Sometimes I just wish I couldn't read." This. is. Me.
Sometimes I soooo wish (more and more these days) that I would just be deaf to what things are happening in the world and just lived my life in the village never leaving the countryside and never having internet and TV and never knowing about all the injustice and wars and suffering and pain. :'(((
3. I don't think I will have kids anymore but the amount of question signs I saw above nurse's heads when they asked me if I ahve a family (meaning kids) and I said I don't....I have a ton of illnesses for which I have been in hospital a lot and then they asked me why I never had a child. I have gone through more pain than a normal healthy person goes through their whole life...but they expect me to just shut up and suffer in silence and then also have a kid bcs that is what I need to do. LOL. WTF.
A woman is looked up to as the goddess that gives birth to a child but the moment you do that, noone cares about you anymore, your struggles, your pain, your physical changes, your emotional changes...."others have done it before you and they got on with their lives and so should you" type of thinking. The mansplaining and the patronizing tone of even doctors about pain and feelings of the body is really disgusting me.
(Don't want to tell you what to do Lucy but if you don't want the physical pain and all the bad things that come with birth then have you thought about adopting? I would like your views on that.)
Well said 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾I couldn’t agree with you more, especially the part about having children.
As a mixed race female medical professional, I sometimes find it hard to determine whether I'm being viewed with the white gaze, the male gaze or both. Probably both. Which is why I exponentially savour every victory on every career front: scientific, clinical, educational, organisational. 😜.I shouldn't have to try exponentially hard, though.
I always feel hesitant to bring up conversations like this because I always feel like I’ll get shot down, but you explained it all so eloquently I couldn’t help but smile and nod in agreement, thank you for making this! Ps. That lip combo is stunning and if anyone knows what it is, I’d be forever grateful 🙏
while I understand the positive view of that particular film, I have to disagree about Olivia Wilde - she wasn't critisized because of her private life, she got smashed for lying. And Florence completely agreed with the negativity about Olivia, which says a lot.
I liked don’t worry darling, they’re outfits were so amazing and the cinematography was beautiful. I definitely agree that some of the stories could’ve been explored more, and the ending was a little too quick and needed some more exploring. But overall don’t understand the dislike.
This had me nodding the whole time @Lucy Moon another whole conversation that was had on TikTok about this was the concept of Emotional Labour in relationships, I topic which I have had discussion about my female friends and it so resonated with all our experience but I have failed to get across my male friends. Even having read quite a bit on this I feel like I don’t know enough to have “difficult conversations”, I do feel this confidence you spoke about and not taking ourselves seriously enough is such an important point and something I want to be more aware of myself which is why I thank you so much for making this video :))))
i just want to say i am loving these videos, this format, the topics. I don’t have the best attention span lol but i crave to learn more and be more informed on important subjects and this casual essay chat video style has been so wonderful!
Lucy, this was wonderful. And what you talked about regarding the conflict of pregnancy and the association with a life of suffering was so thought provoking. Keep going! And thank you. 🖤
I agree with the overall message but also agree that Don’t Worry Darling fell flat in the end. I think there was a good concept, great visuals, and amazing actors.. but the final edit left so many holes and unexplained choices (like the recurring flashy montages felt so unnecessary and thrown in to cover up messy editing gaps). After the twist I was intrigued and wish I could watch a better version of that idea.
I definitely agree with what your saying, but I feel the absolute shit storm it received was very unfair and completely rooted in misogyny
bit late but I would LOVE a part 2 with thoughts on barbie included if youre so inclined!
omg yes please make a video about beauty and aging gracefully! Loved the video ;)
It’s so difficult to feel accredited. The other day my friend called me a “published poet” and we both laughed, despite my work being in an anthology with a national museum. Even now, I constantly see my wins as tiny while I chase the next thing, and I almost wonder if part my disenchantment with womanhood is due to be perpetually exhausted by the motions, and whose benefitting on a large scale from this feeling.
Loved this chat Lucy! Very reminiscent of the conversations I have with my 30-something friends. Would love to see more of the tiktoks too
The upside of birth and supported fourth trimester is getting super high on oxytocin😅
ok, as a creative person and a woman - I'm happy to say that I disagree - I know many women to made it big because they took themselves seriously, and they are very much respected for their art. Your examples are true for you, but are very specific. while things are not perfect, they are definitely not that bad. and this "women don't think of they worth as enough so they don't try to build something bigger" is honestly so patronizing. it's not true, women build so many great things and are respected for it. And I am in the EU! And the whole thing about women always feel the need to have a plan, to work more... Not all women. Not all women care about everything mentioned. I have a degree in electrical engineering and music, so I can speak for both of my worlds. Not expecting anybody agrees with me, of course!
This is totally fair, I do wish I’d generalised less in the video! Thank you for sharing your thoughts 💗
So this is what women are watching on TH-cam...
Loved this video, thanks for talking about this stuff. Also immediately bought decaf earl grey, such a good idea (enjoying a cup now)!
This is the kind of influence I always hoped to have
literally such a good video, i've never thought about these points before... excited to do more reading n research. such a slay lucy
Super interesting. I always think about this when I watch Colin&Samir and the endless examples of male creators building beyond themselves. Glassette and Trinny London spring to mind as uk women who have grown brands beyond their platform, but they are few and far between. Trinny and Laura did an interview together, and I thought it very insightful. Anyway, maybe you, Hannah, and Lena could be the new Prime for the girls?! 😍
Omg I think about this so much more since subscribing to colin and samir! Glad it’s not just me lol
@lucymoon lol! I spent a short amount of time in their discord and just like your music mate I was taken aback by how many young men were taking themselves seriously with less than 300 subs where I see my channel as small hobby. I think there is something about being ambitious, which is quite cringe till you 'make it' so perhaps the request to 'take women seriously' needs to be a note to ourselves as much as society 💕
I would have agreed with the topic of Olivia Wilde had it not been for the video Shia released of Olivia straight up throwing Florence under the bus and trying to get Shia to come back to the film after he quit, putting all the issues on Florence not being okay with whatever gross things Shia was doing. Before that video Olivia's statements were that Shia had been fired for being inappropriate and difficult to work with. That is a level of two-faceidness I will not support and Florence did nothing but weather that storm as professionally as one could.
100% agree with the women in industries not being taken seriously, either from themselves or society. I'm a product designer and constantly get comments from my (male) developers that I make things "look pretty". I'm always curious if male product desginers get the same comments and view of their work.
Oooh I didn’t know about that Shia/Olivia video, I’ll definitely give it a Google
Not much to add, but this might be literally my favorite Lucy Moon vid and also one of my favorite discussions on modern womanhood.
Big yes to more content on this, here for all of the Girlcore chats!
Havent enjoyed a youtube video so much in YEARS. Please continue this conversation!!! Thank you for this ❤
Don’t worry darling sounds really good concept could be interesting I didn’t even know Olivia Wilde directed,I really enjoyed Booksmart which she directed too.
Woman are awesome but definitely wouldn’t wanna be female they get so much nonesense thrown at them from society & media it must be exhausting.
Love your videos have a great week 😊
how do i like this ten times
Loved this video, Lucy. I feel so similarly about the idea of having children / people asking about children. Would love to see more content like this.
what a lovely video, Lucy! I'm an artist (make paintings) and I find myself struggling a lot sometimes with the sexism that I perceive inside my own industry. I don't know if you know that, but women were not allowed to study art and sculpting academically for a looong time, and the only way they would had access to that type of knowledge must have been through a male family member (coincidentally, through a male gaze). My art is not conventionally feminine, and although it can sound more positive in a male-dominated industry, I feel not only excluded by men (because I'm a woman and don't belong with them) but by women as well (because I do not portray what is expected from me). I feel that videos like this one are extremely important for us to start questioning the patterns that we reproduce (and consume) in our daily lives, and to remind ourselves to support each other no matter what. :)
What an incredible video!! So thoughtful and thought provoking, just amazing Lucy
No words can express how much I have missed such thought provoking videos. Call them "food for thought", if it makes you feel more comfortable. The point is, every time Lucy uploads a video like that, I just feel like I am out on dinner date with my best friends, unloading our brains over a bottle of wine and just getting deep into such matters that trouble us. Again, thank you! Please, do not hesitate to upload a video like that in the future, over any kind of thought... Personally, I miss the overwhelming feeling of thinking, because I avoid stimuli that might make me feel angry or hurt. But this video helped me explore my thoughts and generate new ones in a comfortably uncomfortable way.
Very gratefull.
there's an experimental theater company called the Neo-Futurists who specialize in short plays where the actor talks as themself and adds physical action to heighten the themes of the story (i'm really oversimplifying but still) anyway when you got to the eyelash curler i was like "this is that"
When i think about becoming a mother, Pain is not something that comes to mind. But certainly...a sort of shelving/mass alteration of your individual self, needs and wants, as they become eclipsed by the needs of your baby.
What I never understood was that Olivia got so much hate, but Harry did not at all, even though HE also broke up a marriage with kids.
When I was at art school I had a tutor who demanded I write down everything he said while he was talking during 1:1s, and was constantly complaining about how my work wasn't 'personal' enough (I wonder if he would have said that to a male student), and shot down pretty much every idea I had. It was like he wanted to pigeon-hole me into what he thought a woman artist should be making work about, something small and personal like a diary (nothing inherently wrong with this of course, except if it's completely unrelated to your practice)
🙌🙌🙌
I think what I struggled with in Don’t Worry Darling was how long the character seemed helpless and when things did change the timing felt a bit rushed. I also think it was confusing going into the film having been told that a main theme of the film was woman taking power in female pleasure, and I just didn’t feel like that was the main theme I was seeing 😂 also your right about the friend, and that was supposed to be a big part of the movie according to KiKi who played her, and there definitely was a fair amount of criticism over that. That being said, with all that I was so surprised with how overwhelmingly negative the reviews were since I could never be mad watching Florence at the center of a movie.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PPL IN THE BACK 🗣🗣🗣 AbsoLUTELY! Thank you for sharing this! I absolutely love these womanhood talks!
❤
I recently conducted some interviews and was quite shocked by how confident (over!) that the men were and so lacking in confidence the women, despite the women being more qualified and experienced. One guy said 'I'm really good at this' and I wish any of the women thought or expressed the same thing!
dear lucy thank you veryvery much for this talk! that is absolutely important and i like very much how you are reflecting und connecting certain topics in the way and the video format you are using!! there you go, love it soso much. please do the next und do all the brewing in your brain and put it out!! xxx, from zurich
I was just thinking about this topic and our role in the world right now and how actually not really much has changed :/ while I see my partner succeed in his proffesional career (and he really well deserves it) and being noticible to his superiors I KNOW that if I were to be in his position my work would not be recognize the same way as he is...and I notice with female collegues how much extra work we put in to be treated seriously.. women are still way more behind in equality in a lot of aspects of this modern days..
Just started listening to a podcast called The Retrievals, about women undergoing fertility treatment with no pain medication because a nurse was replacing fentanyl with saline, but their pain wasn't investigated or taken seriously at all. All the women were basically seen as hysterical and they were dismissed. Also interesting fact that the word hysteria originally meant having an empty uterus, which was why someone was hysterical!
I loved this video!
Thank you for this video Lucy! I had so many similar thoughts when I saw Don’t worry darling and this was so interesting to think on.
Love this type of content, it's not a subject talked about enough and I'm looking forward to reading the articles you mentioned.
I feel like lately I've started censoring myself in conversation about certain topics because I've been more conscious of not being 'that' woman with the opinions on difficult subjects, such as the ones you've touched on in this video and the gap between how men and women are viewed so differently in society among other things. I feel like I'm met with hostility when I try to hold my ground and have been, more often than not, drowned out by men who have shouted my points down and refuse to even try and see another perspective on a subject.

Hi Lucy, thanks for video
More of this please!
what a great video! I too was very struck upon watching DWD by how much the negative reviews were skewed by the drama surrounding the production. twitter was unbearable for a month during its release, so I could understand audience scores tanking a little (or a lot), but the critic reviews are meant to be "above" that. it's just a "twilight zone" adjacent film, no more, no less. I do believe harry styles did a terrible job, regardless of what the character was meant to be. he has proved time and time again that he can't act to save his life. what you said about taking your work to the next level reminded me of emma chamberlain! but she's the only one i can think of that really fit the bill.
I agree with the Emma Chamberlain point but I do still thing that what she’s created stays within her personal brand as Emma, which I think is what @Lucy Moon was trying to say but I had the same thought and loved your comment Elise, resonated a lot with me!
Go off sister 👏🏽 I think these same thoughts as a female artist in all the ways
Absolutely loved this Lucy!💕
