Members Winchester91 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 Great acting from MIssy. I'm sure she was rewarded with a $1000 gift card to Chik-Fil-A for that. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 Because males aren't thought of as being victims by women. If a man was doing this to Eric, most would feel the way as if a man did it to a woman. It's interesting really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 such a double standard... this is going to be the same with the upcoming s/l on OLTL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 It is a double standard, and it isn't that the same time. I know a lot of (straight) guys who would brush it off as a shag is a shag. Some would even receive an ego boost that some woman went to all that trouble just to bag them because they reckon they are so fine. But Eric Brady isn't one of those guys- he takes his vows seriously. And the fallout for him will be huge. I'm rather conflicted tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 Can you quit it with the untagged spoiler talk? Its bad enough you do it all over the OLTL thread, but to come in another soap's thread and find a way to make a spoilerish post all about Jack Manning?

Members Eric83 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 LOL..... Anywho had to watch Kristen and Eric again. When she took off Eric's towel LOL like someone mentioned earlier you could tell Eric had been craving some for YEARS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 sorry... look I changed it... Don't all priests crave some??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 No, it's def a double standard. Not o start a huge issue and I'm not judging because this is a tv show and all, but your basically saying tape is fine as long as the other person doesn't care. If he'd just bang her anyway or not doesnt matter, she took his choice away. Society doesn't really support male victims esp ones of rape and if you look at all the talk of tape in the military in recent years you'll see that illustrated. If male rape is mentioned as a part of that its usually in passing. Who knew in 2013 Days would be creating these conversations? Wow. These convos are why I love this place though.

Members Antoyne Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 I can't even go into the DAYS thread without talk of Jack [!@#$%^&*] Manning...seriously, you need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 I was only referencing that upcoming story to this one about whether what Kristen did to Eric would be classified as rape if it was a male victim and a female rapist and how it's a total double standard, that's all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 Actually, some of those tweets are from January and February. And while the show was still good, there was a dip in quality March/April with the all-Chloe, all the time period, and then a pickup again in May. So I don't see any issues with the way they were reacting and when they were the most vocal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 Watching some of that Kristen/Eric stuff...Kristen's wig and dress looked like something from Lisa Rinna circa 1997. I must say Eileen looked very hot though. And the Pepe Le Pew accent was quite something. I always prefer seeing ED in campy/fun stuff than in drudgery and angst, even if the story itself is distasteful. I can see why someone said this reminded them of JER. The whole fakeout with Eric almost recognizing her voice was very JER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members difficultdiva Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 It's a straight up double standard and I didn't find it hot at all. Eric was drugged and the result of those drugs, put him in a situation, that he wasn't able to be in control or say no. I just hope that Nicole, takes a moment to think about what she's walked into and doesn't jump to the simple, easy and totally ridiculous conclusion: that Eric wanted to have sex with Kirsten.

Members juppiter Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 It's funny... in the real world whenever you hear about a priest and rape, the priest isn't the victim. lol. Anyway, the Kristen/Eric scene was hot hot hot and this is the first time I've given a crap about GV in the role. Kristen makes other characters so much more interesting.

Members te. Posted June 22, 2013 Members Share Posted June 22, 2013 Knowing Days, I doubt Nicole will end up walking in on them - the room she entered wasn't lit, so she'll probably end up in Kristen's room instead of Eric's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
