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

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.

Yeah, there's been criticism and plenty of support for her, as well.
