We support women's rights but also women's wrongs.✨

The issue of Mario being a groomer should have been properly acknowledged but other than that, I don't really have any complaints. Maybe I would have related to Olga more if I was a mother or if I had experienced a break up. Olga's feelings are valid, too often we take mothers and motherhood for granted. (I do not condone all her actions but I understand where they come from)
