Actually, she did have HIV in the movie, the screenwriter confirmed it a few years ago. She did have hep-c in the book though.

Love the incel worldview where every part of a woman’s very complex, very traumatic, very painful life can be reduced to her relationship with a man. And the framing that being a single mom who has aids (which isn’t even what she had in the movie) makes her worth less than she was before. Fucking gross. Dunno why this community isn’t removing misogynistic trash.

I’m just gonna say what every woman has told me when I bring up how traumatized I am by the actions of women.
“Just because you’ve been traumatized doesn’t mean it’s anyone else’s problem”
So yeah. Fuck Jenny and her bullshit sob story. She didn’t deserve forest and he only stayed faithful because he was mentally disabled.

Love that you characterize sexual physical and emotional abuse by multiple men, including her father, throughout her lifetime as a sob story. Yeah, sounds like they told you it’s not anyone else’s problem specifically because you’re a misogynist and are using your past trauma as justification.

You literally know nothing about my experiences but because I’m a man you immediately downplay them lmfao get bent and blocked

Nah it’s cuz you described her being sexually physically and emotionally abused by dozens of men throughout her life as a sob story. You told on yourself.

I’m sorry you’ve had bad experiences with women but that doesn’t mean women can’t also have bad lives.

Wait did I miss the part where they were ever in an official relationship? She’s shown with multiple partners. I really don’t see how this was a sob story. She never asked him to save her, she never took advantage of his money, she raised young Forrest alone until just before she died. She had a fucked up life starting with her physically and sexually abusive dad and took until just before she died to find peace.
