It's not social commentary. It's the creation of a false narrative used 
to attack heterosexual men while those who are gay are allowed to get 
away with sexual harassment, toxic behaviour, and sexually grooming 
children. This is how these woke perverts work. One rule for them and 
another for everyone else.

Men who are written as weak and socially inept are made into villains 
while disgusting gay perverts that constantly sexually harass others 
despite being told to stop and make disgusting comments about inviting 
their companions' mothers to whistle up their arses are made to look 
like heroes.

Just look are the sick mentally ill writers writing this.

> So my rating for "Lucky Day" is 6/10...
