Sometimes I feel like you can't help but take one of an individual's ideas and turn it into something "other feminists claim". None of this what ypu said here comes even close to my personal opinon.

You always talk in extremes. Of course, you can't compare the Middle East's treatment of homosexuals with "Western standards", where things are slowly getting better. But just because our country treats them “better” doesn’t mean they're treated correctly/equally. Just to take one example.

^For me the best "modern" representation of a patriarchy is Kevin Costners character John Dutton in YELLOWSTONE. Maybe his character is a bit overdrawn but he hits pretty much every possible red flag of a man living by his own reckless rules no matter what. He's using his power, money and influence not only to controll his land ("This is America. We don't share land here."), capital, politics but also to keep his family in line (every member male and female). There is only one way "to handle things properly" and that's the John Dutton way. Everything he does is for his own good. His worldview, his leadership, his morals is the only right way to live and and whoever disobeys will be punished. Physical or emotionally. Or both. Sometimes even worse. He is the man in charge and everyone must have his permission for actions or simply thinking. And it's not like he's an unlikable idiot all the time. God forbid if it were that easy.

I actually highly disagree. Leonardos behaviour isn't my understanding of "the good old patriarchy" at all. A man who's simply using his resources -no matter how small or huge- to support (and protect) his family is not a patriarch. Maybe we should clarify our understanding of the word "patriarchy" (old or new) because these days people seem to thrown this word into the room just to describe "a man in charge" and how allegedly unthankful women these days are towards men who're "only taking care of them" and tend to completely forget what this system was actually about it and what it meant (mostly for women but not exclusively). It has absolutely nothing to do with a man just taking care of his family in the best possible, loving, healthy and respectable way.

Blast from the past.

Yeah and she was also bullied, harassed and slut shamed for this relationship on a disgustingly level. Actually every woman or man entering his inner circle would increase of Leos massive fame, power, influence and generosity. You can say the exact same thing about Tobey Maguire. He got where he is just because of Leo. Same for most of his other male companions just saying. ‘Spider-Man’ Star Tobey Maguire Has Leonardo DiCaprio to Thank for His Marvel Role

@Pami I don't know anymore. People in the comments say it's def not playing in the 80s cause of the modern cars, weapons and iPhones extras were using while shooting.

Richard Linklater's ‘New Wave' Starts Production, Zoey Deutch Cast as Jean Seberg

Paul Thomas Anderson's Next Film is Set in 1984 California ABC10 journalist Mark S. Allen seems to know what Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film is about, but he’s not dishing all the details out of respect for the cast and crew. However, he does divulge some interesting details … In the video, Allen says the film takes place in Reagan-era 1984 and is being shot in some of the same places the former president inhabited during his time in Sacramento. So, it’s no coincidence that’s it’s being shot in Sacramento. He also says he believes the film will be released during the first quarter of 2025. I have been theorizing, since March of 2023, that Anderson’s next film will be an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel “Vineland.” Allen’s intel, again, matches the rumors. Reagan, although not a central character in “Vineland,” looms large, all over Pynchon’s novel. Here’s the synopsis for “Vineland”: A group of Americans in Northern California in 1984 are struggling with the consequences of their lives in the sixties, still run by the passions of those times — sexual and political — which have refused to die. Among them is Zoyd Wheeler who is preparing for his annual act of televised insanity (for which he receives a government stipend) when an unwelcome face appears from out of his past. Things just seem to be lining up in the direction of a Pynchon adaptation. There is no way to confirm it, and the trades would have already done that by now if they knew, but, at the very least, PTA’s latest must be partly inspired by the novel. They are filming at the same locations where “Vineland” takes place, and Leonardo DiCaprio has the same exact look as the character he’s supposed to be playing in the book, Zoyd Wheeler. Also, Wheeler’s daughter closely resembles actress Chase Infiniti who has been seen on-set with DiCaprio. Oh, and on page 8 of “Vineland,” Zoyd says, "You called me, remember?" — in an on-set video taken by a fan, DiCaprio says practically the same line at the phone booth outside the grocery store. It also looks as though the project is being shot, on film, spherically in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio by DP Michael Bauman. As we’ve seen from the leaked BTS footage, PTA’s latest has a lot of car chases, helicopters, police vehicles — the budget is said to be $115 million. With the already mentioned DiCaprio and Infiniti, some of the other actors taking part in the film include Sean Penn, Alan Haim and Teyana Taylor.
