criticism

"Women's solidarity in a stranglehold: The documentary" Embrace "is dedicated to so-called body shaming. It leads female self-image to a low point ... So-called feminism seems to have long been nothing more than the gang through which good old girl friendship is played. Simply loving is no longer possible, so women first agree on the necessity of the quota and the acceptance of any physical and mental aggregate state in order to finally be able to be the best and thus discourse-free friend again ... A solidarity that has no room for Contradictions and conflict leaves, has not earned its name. Pretty much anything can be hugged, from the inner child to the contradictions of desire to affirmative stupidity. The film Embrace once again makes it painfully clear that what is called an embrace, which has long been the stranglehold of a consensus that strangles real discourse and real diversity. "
