The Hypocrisy of Maude Lebowski

[-]

Wirelessness@reddit

What are you, a fucking film critic now?

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

Ok, I can see you don't want to be cheered up here....

[-]

funnyfaceking@reddit

The word itself makes OP uncomfortable.

[-]

carl_showalter96@reddit

That's why it's funny. She's using slang terms just like the men she criticizes.

[-]

Coattail-Rider@reddit

She’s passive aggressively stooping down to his level, not because he’s The Dude, but just because he’s a man. Fits perfectly, actually.

[-]

Pathetic_Saddness@reddit

I think you need to rewatch the scene, she isn’t critical of men’s use of slang terms, she is critical of men’s discomfort with female anatomy and by extension female sexuality.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

I mean, clearly she's implying that men are weak or hypocritical, given that they're made uncomfortable with even the mention of the word...I think it's implied criticism all the way.

[-]

mclms1@reddit

I’m sorry your stepmother is a nympho.

[-]

desert_manta_ray@reddit

She making the point of the difference in the acceptance of open sexuality between men and women. Men can be open and proud of sex, while women need to be quiet and hide it.

Very un-Dude, Dude.

[-]

strolls@reddit

Yet she refers to Bunny as a "slut", because she's a hypocrite herself.

[-]

desert_manta_ray@reddit

And the whole d’rn human comedy keeps perpetuating itself.

[-]

Hefty_Win_8811@reddit

Get your goldbricking ass out of my subreddit u/SuperRusso !!

[-]

Flimsy_Maize6694@reddit

Isn’t this guy supposed to be a millionaire?

[-]

OTT_4TT@reddit

Maybe she was talking about the marmot?

[-]

rabbi420@reddit

It’s rare to see someone so completely misunderstand a well-made point.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

Painful to see someone take a joke so seriously. Are you sure this is the sub for you?

[-]

Nice try, dude… you thought you were saying something profound, and it’s “painful” to see you do the whole “It was just a joke” schtick when your misinterpretation was corrected by the sub. Are you saying that sad shit to everyone?

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

What I. God's Holy name are you blathering about?

No in all seriousness, this is a funny movie, a joke sub, and I have no intention of getting into a debate here. Sorry you can't take a joke, but I've no interest in talking to you further.

Perhaps you need to go bowling.

[-]

cassimiro04@reddit

But she doesn't need $1000 to suck your dick, she will perform coitus on you for free. So ya got that goin' for ya, which is nice.

[-]

datbackup@reddit

Oh this is the first time i noticed maude referred to sex as a business, the literal meaning of “enterprise”. And her stepmother is offering blowjobs for money.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

Please, don't call Bunny Maude's stepmother...She made it pretty clear to Jeffery that

[-]

datbackup@reddit

Maude said “Please don’t call her my mother”

Bunny is by definition Maude’s step mother

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

I would argue that one has to be someones parent in order to be their step mother. If my 90 year old father marries a 20 year old woman while I'm 40, She's not my anything mother. She's the young trophy wife, who owes money all over town...in the parlance of our times...

No, someone who marries your parent is not by definition your step anything. That's absurd.

[-]

datbackup@reddit

stepmother /stĕp′mŭᴛʜ″ər/

noun

A woman who is a stepparent.
The wife of one's father by a subsequent marriage.
The wife of one's biological father, other than one's biological mother.

Bunny fits definitions 2 and 3

Guess you learned something new today!

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

Um....yeah I don't care. That's completely beside the point that you're missing by miles. I'm sorry you have not learned something new today.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

Well, I don't know about that, she certianly seems to have standards. Although she doesn't want the father to be someone she has to interact with socially, and frankly I see no evidence she blew the dude. She's just trying to conceive, man!

[-]

cassimiro04@reddit

"Your right SuperRusso, you're just an asshole."

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

I get that a lot.

[-]

spottydodgy@reddit

Nice marmot...

[-]

Technical_Choice_629@reddit

Also, and. Dude:

I don't like the way she has Knox Harrington skanking all over the apartment, either. What is his deal?

[-]

Bridgeburner1@reddit

Perhaps a cleft asshole is to blame

[-]

ty_ftw@reddit

Theres the same hypocrisy happening with Walter, man. He corrects the Dude when he says Chinaman but then goes on to use terms like kraut and fig eater later to refer to people.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

Oh, and camel fucker, don't forget that one.

[-]

howsthisforsmart@reddit

Separate incidents.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

FORGET ABOUT THE FUCKING TOE!!!!!

[-]

blackburrahcobbler@reddit

Let's not forget, Dude

[-]

sozh@reddit

Let's not forget, let's NOT forget: Walter is all about the "rules," but I'm pretty sure there's a rule against pulling out a firearm on the lanes. Especially during league play...

[-]

Silent_Medicine1798@reddit

What’s a fig eater, Walter?

[-]

Figgy1983@reddit

SHUT THE FUCK UP, DONNY!

[-]

moviequotebotperson@reddit

Look OP, we all know who is at fault here. What the fuck are you talking about?!?

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

Maude Lebowski...the beaver artist....

[-]

moviequotebotperson@reddit

You mean vagina?

[-]

MouldyBobs@reddit

I think "beaver" refers to a lady's bush, not her naughty bits.

[-]

craiggy36@reddit

Is that what this is a picture of?

[-]

moviequotebotperson@reddit

I think it’s a Pomeranian

[-]

cageycrow@reddit

It’s a show beaver with fucking papers.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

I am the walrus.

[-]

Altoidman33@reddit

Longshanks, Longshanks, what's the point, man?

[-]

Ecclypto@reddit

That’s just there to highlight Maude’s disdain for pornography, especially in the light of the fact that her adoptive mother is a nymphomaniac and does not derive pleasure from sex, but engages in it compulsively thus further proving the point that the associated enjoyment is nothing but a charade and a mockery of human sexual experience

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

Ok, Bunny is not her adoptive mother...please...

[-]

Ecclypto@reddit

Well, I mean technically I suppose. She is married to her dad though, right?

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

That doesn't mean she adopted her. Do you know understand what it means to adopt a child? Because if your an adult, and your parent gets re-married, that does not mean you have been adopted by the parent's spouse. The spouse was never your parent in any sense of the word.

Bunny is Maude's fathers young trophy wife, to use the parlance of our times.

[-]

TheKeeperOfThe90s@reddit

Wasn't her whole point that if men refer candidly to their genitals, women should be able to do the same? That's more calling out hypocrisy than hypocrisy in itself.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

I'm sorry I wasn't listening

[-]

JunkSalesman@reddit

I think it is under analyzed that she thinks it is plausible that she introduced bunny to her father.

What are the scenarios where that could have happened?

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

What in God's holy name are you blathering about?

[-]

Mission_Record_4541@reddit

The wealth was all mother's.

[-]

gattboy1@reddit

I know right? But shouldn’t she have Daddy issues instead of Mama drama? 🎭 Why is she always looking out for Mother?

[-]

RossMxx@reddit

Late mother hadv passed away,
Father, despite being a genuine crip.., uh.. handicapped, IS in fact a goldbricker, a fraud who achieved it via a rich wedding. When he was really given a business to run, he didn't perform very well. Plus his vanity weakness (hence the slut),
Maude is in fact just copying her mother by mating with another deadbeat Lebowski (though not a human paraquat in her case). The good thing is that there is a little Lebowski on the way. That's the way this whole durned human comedy keeps perpetuating.

[-]

PerceptionSimilar213@reddit

Walter, is Maude a nazi?

[-]

useless_modern_god@reddit

You aren’t wrong.

It’s funny because as a feminist, Maude may harbor disdain for Bunny and the way she undermines certain feminist ideals by objectifying women and reinforcing patriarchal power structures by making pornography.

Meanwhile, Maude considers her own artistic images of vaginas to be acceptable and worthy of financial gain.

Lotta ins, lotta outs.

[-]

SuperRusso@reddit (OP)

You know, it's like Lenin said...look for the person who will benefit...and you know...uh...

sorotomotor@reddit

Meanwhile, Maude considers her own artistic images of vaginas to be acceptable and worthy of financial gain.

And yet, Maude and Bunny are the characters with the most power: they use their sexuality to control their lives, influence men, and affect outcomes to suit their needs and financial independence.

10BAW@reddit

The Dude abides!

[-]

sorotomotor@reddit

Excuse me, Smokey? Maude was neither criticizing the Dude, nor did she say or imply the use of those words was inappropriate or offensive. Maude was pointing out a truism, and she was correct. Also, if a man refers to his "dick," "rod," or "johnson," Maude should be free to refer to a "beaver." This is Feminism 101.

Mark it zero. Next frame!

[-]

jackasspenguin@reddit

Bull Shit, Walter, mark it hippocrite, dude

[-]

dominnate@reddit

Beaver is a crude reference to a body part, just like dick, rod, and Johnson. Maude’s language is nothing if not consistent. Now if you’ll excuse me, Sandro is calling about the Biennale.

[-]

Appropriate-Ad3162@reddit
