My ex picked up the kids tonight and mentioned that everyone at his work is raving about the show ‘It’s a Sin’.
I said I had watched it and was completely hooked- I fell in love with the characters and felt so many emotions throughout the series. Being born in the early eighties, I was aware of the pandemic growing up but it was completely above my head. Watching it made me open my eyes to how scary life must have been for people who lived through it and were at risk. I told him that I think it’s an amazing piece of television and he should give it a chance.
To be met with the response of: “I don’t want to see blokes at it. I’m not a batty boy.”
Other than the obvious annoyance of his use of insulting terminology, I’m a bit peeved that he hasn’t noticed that the world has a different outlook nowadays and acceptance and equality is a great thing.
Anyone else know of a bloke who is being stubborn/embarrassed to watch? I feel like he is missing out in a real chance to witness a really moving and much needed story but being held back by his own prejudices (possible embarrassment) to see past the end of his nose.
