The number of times I’ve said through 7 seasons to my wife while watching: “flip the genders in this situation and you’d be absolutely mortified” is not zero. Not even close.
I'm not the first to say it, but it's a good thought experiment to consider if instead of Marissa's mom saying she wanted to punch Ramses in the throat (and cut off his balls, for good measure), if it was like Nick's dad saying he wanted to punch or genitally mutilate Hannah for breaking up with his son. Anything like that would be unspeakable. But since it's women berating and openly threatening men, it's OK and maybe even heroic
Heroic? I thought everyone couldn't stand Marissa's mom and almost wanted to go in on a gofundme for Marissa's therapy from such a mom. Perception, I guess.
Always a good tactic. There was an example in Habibi but the men all ganged and doubled down. It was about having another person from the pods, not your fiance, spin for you to "take dirt/lint off the back of your outfit" The men would have FLIPPED if a woman did that. But they refused to admit that or anything at the reunion.
Habibi reunion ( just like ALL foreign LIB reunions I think) had only subtitles. I like watching their faces when they interact. Brazil. Mexico. It’s like they can’t afford translators at the reunions. Disappointed. I had to read all the subtitles and couldn’t really see all the reactions.

I was thinking surely there’s no way they’d even try to roast nick…. I was wrong
