REMINDER: this is a shitpost
I don’t understand the Jenny hate. Did they expect her to stay with Forrest and wait for him at home just baking pies and listening to the radio while he went off to war, sailed his shrimp boat, toured as a ping pong champion, and then just fucked off to go running for two years?
Gump and Jenny were both rolling stones. She wanted to be free, and fly far far away from the home where she was abused. She wanted her own adventures. Gump was her best friend, but she didn’t have the capacity for the relationship he wanted.
Jenny was molested as a child by her dad, and though she loved forrest, when she slept with him, she felt like she molested him because of his condition. This caused her to run away and fall back into self loathing and drugs, thinking she just became her own father. She loved Forrest more than anything, that’s why she stayed away, because she was a ticking time bomb and didn’t want to hurt him. When she found out she was dying she accepted her love for Forrest and realized he was the only good person in her life, and the only one she trusted to raise their son
Because if you flip the gender roles she’d be considered a rapist and everyone would be up in arms about it
But because sad traumatized girl it’s okay.
-
She had Hep C
-
She was an abuse victim (remember when her dad raped her in like the first 5 minutes? Also how every single man after abuses her?) who could only associate feeling love with being abused. For her to accept Forrest’s love she had to first accept that not all love comes with abuse.
-
Shut up
- Forrest had a serious intellectual disability, and she almost certainly felt like she was taking advantage of him.
-
Love the incel worldview where every part of a woman’s very complex, very traumatic, very painful life can be reduced to her relationship with a man. And the framing that being a single mom who has aids (which isn’t even what she had in the movie) makes her worth less than she was before. Fucking gross. Dunno why this community isn’t removing misogynistic trash.
I’m just gonna say what every woman has told me when I bring up how traumatized I am by the actions of women.
“Just because you’ve been traumatized doesn’t mean it’s anyone else’s problem”
So yeah. Fuck Jenny and her bullshit sob story. She didn’t deserve forest and he only stayed faithful because he was mentally disabled.
Love that you characterize sexual physical and emotional abuse by multiple men, including her father, throughout her lifetime as a sob story. Yeah, sounds like they told you it’s not anyone else’s problem specifically because you’re a misogynist and are using your past trauma as justification.
You literally know nothing about my experiences but because I’m a man you immediately downplay them lmfao get bent and blocked
I’m sorry you’ve had bad experiences with women but that doesn’t mean women can’t also have bad lives.
He didn’t imply that it had. If you’d like to demonstrate your respect for this human being, read what he wrote.
I did. Up above he said that because other women have told him just because he’s traumatized doesn’t make it anyone else’s business that he can hold the opinion that Jenny is a piece of shit.
He is using actions women have taken against him to justify his own callous attitude. Let me know if I misreading something.
Nah it’s cuz you described her being sexually physically and emotionally abused by dozens of men throughout her life as a sob story. You told on yourself.
A sad story that is used to sway other’s opinion of your actions is a “sob story”.
