Warning: Spoilers
Talk about toxic masculinity - and what is to be expected from women. I will go into some details and especially a horrible incident that is occuring towards the end of the movie. That is why I tagged the spoiler warning - so you have been warned more than enough.

Our main character seems to have a clear moral compass. One that works - but he is being influenced in a bad way by others. And by society and the expectations put upon men and women. We see him being under pressure by his male friends but also by his mother. Not easy to do the right thing under these circumstances.

Especially when this really hot and good looking woman comes to his life. She seems to know he is one of the good ones. And calling her teasing would be an understatement. But can't a woman be sexy - and still decide for herself when and with whom she wants to sleep? That is in the middle of all this.

All before the horrible "thing" happens I mentioned above. Calling it a thing - not a pun and not trying to be disrespectful. Raping someone is bad to say the least. And all because of the toxic masculinity - all because a woman can't be sexy without wanting it from everyone and always. Of course that is not true - and hopefuly you knew that before you watched this movie, but will come around after the latest ... because there is only one victim here. And there is no excuse for the bad guys in this ... try to be respectful, try to be nice to each other. And treat others the way you would want to be treated yourself. Also no means no.
