That video of the Tennessee dad testifying against the anti-trans bill made me feel like sh*t bc that guy sounds like my dad, talks like him, they probably share most of their values, but my Dad will never admit he was wrong, unlike that guy

There was this joke on Mad About You back in the day where they threw in a science-fiction gag about letting the characters test-drive an experimental VR neural-link rig that makes your wildest fantasies come true

And Paul (the husband) of course gets this embarrassingly detailed sex fantasy involving a supermodel (they had as a guest star) Jamie (the wife) instead gets a detailed fantasy of Paul admitting every single time in their marriage he was wrong

It like cycles through all the environments Paul was in with the supermodel (the beach, the hotel room, the spa) with him just continuing this speech about how often and how badly he's been wrong

One of the kind of fascinatingly horrible but relatable things Jonathan Franzen puts into The Corrections is about how the dad's slow decline into Alzheimer's is, of course, not actually arrested by the miracle technology the novel starts off being about

And as he becomes an invalid trapped in a nursing home it describes how his wife comes to visit him every single day, and spends hours by his bedside, telling him over and over again, that he was wrong

Holding his hand, watching his confused, unresponsive face, and in a gentle and loving tone just going through every single thing he's been wrong about, until the day he dies

I gotta say I'm never thrilled with tales of "women hate sex, and live to get revenge" -- it's kind of a tired trope.

Oh, it was an extremely tired trope, I only mention it because I deeply identify with that fantasy
