1. This isn't France after liberation from the nazis and these women weren't collaborators

I expect some of these women consider it a badge of honor. Fuck da russkies!

2. Too soon for a GI Jane joke?

Sorry. I hate the Hollywood standard of roasting and abuse at awards shows in principal. I was making a joke of a joke of a joke…

4. I went there too...

...it must be part of the zeitgeist.

My first thought was, "Send Will Smith in!"

10. But this time

it is literal.

3. Really doubt that's the worst they've done to them

Hard to get worked up over their hair. Far more worried about rape, mutilation, torture etc

5. Pretty soon the women will all be shaving their own heads

just to show support.

6. I think so, too

7. I hope so.

There was a movie with Robert Mitchum where he had a much younger wife. She had an affair with an occupying soldier. To shame her the village people shaved her head. She became a pariah but her husband stood by her.

This will probably be the opposite hopefully.

Those Ukrainian women are amazing.

12. That was it. I loved Robert Mitchum.

Thunder Road. I don't know how good it really was but I loved it. I loved the music.

8. I don't know. A little too parallel to some other atrocities for me to dismiss it as nothing.

It's part of the dehumanization process.

13. Doing that to another person is horrible. nt

[Raine]

9. Awful ... done to shame, degrade and dehumanize them! 🤬 nt

14. But..if the tables are turned

And women n men shaved their heads in support, their intent to shame is now a badge of honor. We have seen little kids w/ cancer lose their hair during treatments n others shave their heads in support. It’s hair. It can grow back but trauma is different. I hope to see reports of solidarity
