To me‚ this quote means that you can be afraid to do something‚ but when you do it‚ it’s not so bad. If you mess up then just move on and fix it next time. In other words‚ you can’t change the past‚ only live in the present and never consider only the worst if you are afraid to do something. A time I experienced

painfully and “cringeworthily” misogynistic.

In some ways‚ the treatment of women seems self-aware from a writing standpoint. To the point where it’s so extreme‚ there’s no way it’s not used as a plot device. But for what purpose? I saw the treatment of women and Marilyn Monroe by men as a self-analysis of the effect women
