    Power imbalance is just what he admitted to

    I can believe this is possibly a "the truth is somewhere in the middle" situation, but if the truth is somewhere in the middle, it means he's maybe not a monster but is still pretty fucked up.

    I saw devil wears Prada 2 the other day. It had some really nice moments and a few resolutions to character arcs I didn't even know I wanted.
