I’m The Mom From Back To The Future And My Husband Just Hired My Rapist To Wax His Car
Can I borrow the DeLorean? I need to go back to the past and teach the young version of my husband about MeToo.
Hi guys. I’m a character in a famous movie, but because it involves time travel, there are two timelines and actually two of me — one married to my husband and one dating my son. I know, weird idea for a movie — whatever. And in this timeline my husband hires my rapist to wax his car.
I know, it’s complicated. Maybe it’s about forgiveness and second chances. Maybe Biff deserved a second chance. Maybe he “didn’t really mean it” when he tried to rape me on the night of the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.
But Biff did try to rape me in 1955. I know how it looks. It looks like Hollywood is saying attempted rapes are just youthful hijinks. But we first need to examine the whole story. It’s not as cut and dry as it seems. First of all:
My Husband Was a Peeping Tom
That’s right, he was up in a tree, watching me through binoculars in my bra and panties. And by the way, I was underage, I’m pretty sure. I mean, I guess it was senior year and I could have been 18. But really, I was most likely 17. Yeah, ick.
