Another common myth is that if a person with endometriosis gets pregnant, their symptoms won’t return after their cycle resumes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guidone says the idea that both these false notions are based on an outdated theory that says if you stop periods, the disease goes away. A study of endometriosis patients who had hysterectomies and took painkillers \u003ca href=\"https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1471-0528.16469\">showed no reduction in the amount of opioid and non-opioid painkillers\u003c/a> prescribed in the three years after surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? One theory about the origin of endometriosis is that it’s the result of retrograde menstruation — meaning that during menstruation, some of the shed uterine lining travels through the fallopian tubes and implants in places where it shouldn’t be. People who ascribe to this theory think hysterectomy would help but still is not a cure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other surgeons like \u003ca href=\"https://endopaedia.info/redwine.html\">David Redwine\u003c/a>, who also appears in the film, point to evidence that endometriosis tissue actually appears during embryonic development. And so removing the uterus wouldn’t affect that tissue that’s been there since birth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A hysterectomy is, however, the definitive treatment for adenomyosis — a disease where tissue from the uterine lining invades the muscle wall of the uterus. Adenomyosis also causes painful menstruation and infertility, and \u003ca href=\"https://nancysnookendo.com/hysterectomy-and-endometriosis/\">many patients have both conditions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m28VUzDyaSs\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>4.

But her condition kept deteriorating, impacting her ability to drive and run her business. Laura’s doctors had performed ablation — where an instrument is used to incinerate visible endometriosis tissue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While ablation is the most common type of endometriosis surgery, it misses tissue hidden from the naked eye. Like Cone, many patients return for repeat ablations after their symptoms resume.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13912974']“I use the analogy, if you have cancer and you have a tumor, do you want someone who’s not a specialist to burn off the surface of that tumor, or do you want a specialist to go in and cut it out?” the film’s director Cohn says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gold standard method of surgery is excision, where a surgeon removes endometriosis lesions and often adjacent tissue. Studies show a \u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28456617/\">greater reduction in symptoms\u003c/a> after excision compared with ablation, and fewer patients come back for repeat surgeries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many OB/GYNs who see patients for routine care perform ablation, excision surgery is done by surgeons with specialized training. And many of these specialists do not accept health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the film explains, the medical billing codes for the two types of surgery are the same — even though ablation is typically performed in under an hour, while excision can take four hours or more. “You have a whole staff who are depending on you to pay their salaries and you have to pay the light bill,” says Ted Anderson, past president of ACOG, in the film. “There are a lot of economic pressures as well as do-the-right-thing-pressures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the film, Cone’s father says he took out a second mortgage to raise the $25,000 needed to pay for his daughter’s excision surgery in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are surgeons qualified to do excision at teaching hospitals, Cohn points out, who do accept health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>6. To get proper care, patients need to take their health into their own hands.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Both Laura Cone and Jenneh Rishe learned about excision surgery from other patients on the internet. Facebook groups like \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/289078084538377\">Endometropolis \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/418136991574617\">Nancy’s Nook\u003c/a> provide forums for patients to ask questions, compare experiences, recommend doctors, and even share surgery photos. Endometriosis specialists and nurses often answer questions in these groups as well. TikTok videos about endometriosis\u003ca href=\"https://www.newsweek.com/below-belt-endometriosis-movie-documentary-director-interview-1710510\"> have over 1 billion views\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='news_11951879']“When you’re not getting the answers that you need and, and want from a health care provider, you’re going to go somewhere else,” says Cohn. “Of course there’s misinformation everywhere and that includes online … But you can do some digging and try to put the pieces together and learn from other people who have been in your position,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cohn also encourages patients to ask pointed questions in their doctors’ appointments, especially when considering surgery. She recommends asking the surgeon if they do excision, and how frequently they perform endometriosis surgery; as well as talking to other patients who have had surgeries performed by the specialist you’re working with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, the earlier a patient receives excision surgery, the less they will suffer, because the symptoms tend to get worse over the female reproductive years. Endometriosis patients may find relief for their symptoms by many means, including \u003ca href=\"https://health.clevelandclinic.org/endometriosis-diet/\">changes to diet\u003c/a> and exercise, and receiving\u003ca href=\"https://www.sideeffectspublicmedia.org/personal-health/2013-12-29/can-abdominal-massage-help-painful-menstruation\"> massage\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5659600/\">acupuncture\u003c/a>.

Because until we find that out, it’s hard to really find ways to treat it. I hope that we can find a non-invasive diagnostic tool, so that women don’t have to go years and years without understanding what is going on in their body.

Another common myth is that if a person with endometriosis gets pregnant, their symptoms won’t return after their cycle resumes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Guidone says the idea that both these false notions are based on an outdated theory that says if you stop periods, the disease goes away. A study of endometriosis patients who had hysterectomies and took painkillers \u003ca href=\"https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1471-0528.16469\">showed no reduction in the amount of opioid and non-opioid painkillers\u003c/a> prescribed in the three years after surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? One theory about the origin of endometriosis is that it’s the result of retrograde menstruation — meaning that during menstruation, some of the shed uterine lining travels through the fallopian tubes and implants in places where it shouldn’t be. People who ascribe to this theory think hysterectomy would help but still is not a cure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But other surgeons like \u003ca href=\"https://endopaedia.info/redwine.html\">David Redwine\u003c/a>, who also appears in the film, point to evidence that endometriosis tissue actually appears during embryonic development. And so removing the uterus wouldn’t affect that tissue that’s been there since birth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A hysterectomy is, however, the definitive treatment for adenomyosis — a disease where tissue from the uterine lining invades the muscle wall of the uterus. Adenomyosis also causes painful menstruation and infertility, and \u003ca href=\"https://nancysnookendo.com/hysterectomy-and-endometriosis/\">many patients have both conditions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/m28VUzDyaSs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/m28VUzDyaSs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch3>4.

But her condition kept deteriorating, impacting her ability to drive and run her business. Laura’s doctors had performed ablation — where an instrument is used to incinerate visible endometriosis tissue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While ablation is the most common type of endometriosis surgery, it misses tissue hidden from the naked eye.

Studies show a \u003ca href=\"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28456617/\">greater reduction in symptoms\u003c/a> after excision compared with ablation, and fewer patients come back for repeat surgeries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While many OB/GYNs who see patients for routine care perform ablation, excision surgery is done by surgeons with specialized training. And many of these specialists do not accept health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the film explains, the medical billing codes for the two types of surgery are the same — even though ablation is typically performed in under an hour, while excision can take four hours or more. “You have a whole staff who are depending on you to pay their salaries and you have to pay the light bill,” says Ted Anderson, past president of ACOG, in the film. “There are a lot of economic pressures as well as do-the-right-thing-pressures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the film, Cone’s father says he took out a second mortgage to raise the $25,000 needed to pay for his daughter’s excision surgery in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are surgeons qualified to do excision at teaching hospitals, Cohn points out, who do accept health insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>6.

She recommends asking the surgeon if they do excision, and how frequently they perform endometriosis surgery; as well as talking to other patients who have had surgeries performed by the specialist you’re working with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, the earlier a patient receives excision surgery, the less they will suffer, because the symptoms tend to get worse over the female reproductive years. Endometriosis patients may find relief for their symptoms by many means, including \u003ca href=\"https://health.clevelandclinic.org/endometriosis-diet/\">changes to diet\u003c/a> and exercise, and receiving\u003ca href=\"https://www.sideeffectspublicmedia.org/personal-health/2013-12-29/can-abdominal-massage-help-painful-menstruation\"> massage\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5659600/\">acupuncture\u003c/a>.

They’re inquisitive at the moment, which means I have just minutes to grab their attention before they zone out. Oh, and by the way, they’re incarcerated in the high-security unit at San Francisco Juvenile Hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So feminism is…”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I trail off. The white, male teacher assigned to leading discussions for Women’s History Month eyes me. I’m nervous he’ll interrupt again, launching into a mansplanation about why the unit should care about the girls in their community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I know it’s sometimes hard for y’all to understand feminism because y’all go through so much,” I continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s true. Most of them sleep on concrete beds each night. They’re at a pivotal age, a time when they’re in desperate need of positive direction. Unfortunately, they’re locked up instead. And they’re inundated with notions of toxic masculinity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t help that most of the rap music they love reinforces the idea that women are objects. Sometimes they waste sharp wits cooking up ways to exploit young women in their lives. I remember one boy telling me: “I can’t wait to have a wife so she can pay for all my shit.” I guess that Mac Dre line — “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vE6oUc0t4o\">I treat my bitch like an ATM card\u003c/a>” — already got to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat this messaging, I handpick rap bars for our creative writing lessons. 2pac’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/Mb1ZvUDvLDY\">Dear Mama\u003c/a>” is essentially an epistolary poem, and “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/vYJCT8EqbtU\">Birds Eye View\u003c/a>” by Zion I is a great example of personification. But how am I supposed to compete with the allure of patriarchy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I clear my throat and keep talking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Y’all probably heard about the #MeToo movement, right? Well, I met \u003ca href=\"https://www.taranaburke.com/\">Tarana Burke\u003c/a>. She’s the founder of the movement. She told me #MeToo isn’t a women’s movement, it’s a survivors’ movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To my delight, some of my students nod. Furrowed brows begin to soften, and empathy permeates the room. It makes sense. Almost \u003ca href=\"https://kidsimprisoned.news21.com/foster-care-kids-juvenile-justice-system/\">60% of incarcerated youth\u003c/a> have been through the foster care system. And, according to one Johns Hopkins University study, foster youth are \u003ca href=\"https://www.focusforhealth.org/sex-abuse-and-the-foster-care-system/\">four times as likely to experience sexual abuse\u003c/a> as their peers. I wasn’t merely standing in front of a group of teenage boys. I was standing with fellow survivors. [aside postid='arts_13930886' hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Whats-Pimpin-Episode-1-Wordpress-Thumbnail.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For decades, hip-hop has empowered and given voice to countless young people like my students. And now, the culture has grown up. In light of its 50th anniversary, isn’t it time we seriously examine hip-hop’s contradictions? If Bay Area hip-hop is “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13923938/thats-my-word-intro\">the product of pimps and hustlers just as much as activists and intellectuals\u003c/a>,” how do we uplift its innovative potential while holding space to look at all the ways it falls short?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout my decade-plus of experience as an educator, MC and community organizer, I’ve seen firsthand how hip-hop’s glorification of pimp culture harms people of all genders. Pimping obviously predates hip-hop. But that doesn’t mean we should normalize antiquated ideas about gender, or push played-out power dynamics. We can sugarcoat the truth, but at its root, pimp culture is about exploitation. Ignoring this reality risks harming some of the most marginalized people in the Bay Area. I’m talking about poor folks, and about Black, brown and Indigenous women, in addition to LGBTQ people. I promise you, they’re already paying the ultimate price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my poetry classes in juve, the poem “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou was a favorite, especially among incarcerated girls. Something about rising “like dust” against all odds resonated with them. Still I Rise is also the name of a recent creative collaboration among myself and the Bay Area-rooted rappers \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13890558/with-labor-ryannicole-uplifts-black-womens-invisible-work\">RyanNicole\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13915289/hip-hop-songs-lyrics-abortion\">Coco Peila\u003c/a>. Together we’ve created a three-part video podcast, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13930886/madlines-coco-peila-ryannicole-whats-pimpin-vodcast-1\">\u003ci>What’s Pimpin’?\u003c/i>\u003c/a> A new episode drops each Wednesday on \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS7Oxr5knNkZ8SlryFZnq0g\">KQED Arts & Culture’s YouTube channel\u003c/a> June 28–July 12, and our EP of the same title is coming soon.

I saw this as a young rapper growing up in Seattle, when I had Andre Nickatina’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/Ad4Bx8QCKSU\">Jungle\u003c/a>” on repeat. There was something wildly unique about his sound. He was nerdy — referencing \u003ci>Alice in Wonderland\u003c/i> and \u003ci>Star Wars\u003c/i> in his rhymes — yet dangerous. I could relate. Other Bay Area rappers shared my desire to use the music for revolutionary change. I sang along to Mystic’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/GoK01XY52Uc\">The Life\u003c/a>” because it captured my passion to alleviate suffering. Bay Area hip-hop influenced my decision to move to Oakland in my early 20s, over a decade ago. It’s as multifaceted as the streets where it originates. [aside postid='arts_13931108' hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/07/Episode-2-Youtube-Thumbnail.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conversations we’re having in \u003ci>What’s Pimpin’?\u003c/i> are challenging because critiquing Bay Area hip-hop can feel like airing out dirty laundry. The Bay Area often gets overlooked in the music industry despite its outsized influence. Since the \u003ca href=\"https://slate.com/podcasts/slow-burn/s3/biggie-and-tupac/e4/c-delores-tucker-against-hip-hop\">gangsta rap moral panic\u003c/a> of the early ’90s, white \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/a249c215c523dbd528710412cb91b193\">politicians\u003c/a>, pundits and other outsiders have bolstered their careers by vilifying hip-hop. And our racist criminal justice system has used \u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/black-rappers-call-double-standard-using-hip-hop-lyrics-evidence-rappe-rcna65529\">rap lyrics to put people behind bars\u003c/a>. Fans are rightfully protective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as hip-hop artists who believe in gender equality, we want to push the culture forward. We want to separate hip-hop culture from pimp culture, which mirrors the exploitation and domination of colonialism, slavery and racial capitalism — it didn’t start in 1973 with the movie \u003ci>The Mack\u003c/i> and didn’t end the day Too Short got a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13922548/too-short-way-oakland-street-renamed\">street named after him\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13930868\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13930868\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/SIR-artists-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Three young Black female MCs pose together wearing black.

A 2011 study tracking a two-year period showed that \u003ca href=\"https://rights4girls.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Racial-Disparties-FactSheet-_Jan-2021.pdf\">94% of U.S. sex-trafficking victims were female\u003c/a>. Of those victims, 40% were Black and 24% were Latinx. Meanwhile, buyers are overwhelmingly white men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protecting Black women and girls is particularly difficult because they’re less likely to be reported missing. According to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/news/2023/council-unanimously-votes-in-favor-of-councilmember-reids-resolution-supporting-the-establishment-of-a-statewide-ebony-alert-to-help-locate-missing-black-women-and-girls\">May statement from Oakland City Councilmember Treva Reid\u003c/a>, of the 1,500 missing-persons cases in Oakland this year, 400 of them are Black women.

My love for the men in my community motivates me to hold them accountable instead of coddling harmful behavior. My love has inspired me to spend almost a decade uplifting youth trapped in jail cells. My love isn’t about censorship — it’s about owning up to what’s being said.

And they’re inundated with notions of toxic masculinity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It doesn’t help that most of the rap music they love reinforces the idea that women are objects. Sometimes they waste sharp wits cooking up ways to exploit young women in their lives. I remember one boy telling me: “I can’t wait to have a wife so she can pay for all my shit.” I guess that Mac Dre line — “\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vE6oUc0t4o\">I treat my bitch like an ATM card\u003c/a>” — already got to him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat this messaging, I handpick rap bars for our creative writing lessons. 2pac’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/Mb1ZvUDvLDY\">Dear Mama\u003c/a>” is essentially an epistolary poem, and “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/vYJCT8EqbtU\">Birds Eye View\u003c/a>” by Zion I is a great example of personification. But how am I supposed to compete with the allure of patriarchy?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I clear my throat and keep talking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Y’all probably heard about the #MeToo movement, right?

And now, the culture has grown up. In light of its 50th anniversary, isn’t it time we seriously examine hip-hop’s contradictions? If Bay Area hip-hop is “\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13923938/thats-my-word-intro\">the product of pimps and hustlers just as much as activists and intellectuals\u003c/a>,” how do we uplift its innovative potential while holding space to look at all the ways it falls short?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout my decade-plus of experience as an educator, MC and community organizer, I’ve seen firsthand how hip-hop’s glorification of pimp culture harms people of all genders. Pimping obviously predates hip-hop. But that doesn’t mean we should normalize antiquated ideas about gender, or push played-out power dynamics. We can sugarcoat the truth, but at its root, pimp culture is about exploitation. Ignoring this reality risks harming some of the most marginalized people in the Bay Area. I’m talking about poor folks, and about Black, brown and Indigenous women, in addition to LGBTQ people. I promise you, they’re already paying the ultimate price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In my poetry classes in juve, the poem “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou was a favorite, especially among incarcerated girls. Something about rising “like dust” against all odds resonated with them. Still I Rise is also the name of a recent creative collaboration among myself and the Bay Area-rooted rappers \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13890558/with-labor-ryannicole-uplifts-black-womens-invisible-work\">RyanNicole\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13915289/hip-hop-songs-lyrics-abortion\">Coco Peila\u003c/a>.

Other Bay Area rappers shared my desire to use the music for revolutionary change. I sang along to Mystic’s “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/GoK01XY52Uc\">The Life\u003c/a>” because it captured my passion to alleviate suffering.

Then, starting in 1956, Fong Eu served three terms on the Alameda County Board of Education, serving as its president between 1961 and ’62. After that came the big one: In 1966, she won a place on the California State Assembly — with a margin of more than a million votes.

As if to prove this, TMZ noted that DiCaprio has also recently been linked with 23-year-old model \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/victoriaalamas/?hl=en\">Victoria Lamas\u003c/a> and has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/03/leonardo-dicaprio-vacation-yacht-women-st-barts-caribbean-photos/\">photographed on a yacht with a group of young models\u003c/a>.

The couple lasted four years and came to an end three months after the model turned — you’ve guessed it! — 25. Incidentally, DiCaprio and Nina Agdal broke up two months after her 25th birthday. He and Kelly Rohrbach split a month after she hit that milestone too. Bar Refaeli made it four months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear, age gaps, in and of themselves, aren’t the problem. We’re all going to fall in love with who we fall in love with, and sometimes that person just wasn’t born in the same era — love is love is love. When \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13869451/keanu-reeves-dennis-quaid-and-our-national-obsession-with-womens-age\">we pass judgement on younger women who date older men\u003c/a>, we often strip them of their agency and reduce them to trophies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13869451']But the issue with DiCaprio is not love with an age gap. The longer this all goes on, the less his situation looks even vaguely love-related. It looks like a pattern of swiftly replacing one model for the next once they hit a specific age milestone. Not all of them even make it that far — Blake Lively was 23 when the couple split (he was 36), Erin Heatherton was 22 (he was 37), Toni Garrn was 21 (he was 39).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the outside, it would appear these young women are interchangeable to him — disposable, like cars he’s done driving or suits he’s sick of wearing. They are reduced to trophies by the very circumstance of getting involved with DiCaprio in the first place, because we all know they’ll be discarded before they have time to develop a single, solitary wrinkle. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/leonardo-dicaprios-girlfriend-turned-25-27265735\">The end of his relationship with Morrone was widely predicted\u003c/a> when her 25th birthday rolled around.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when we take into account that these relationships are clearly consensual, it’s still surprising that, throughout all of the post-#MeToo conversations about the negative effects of power imbalances in relationships and sexual situations, DiCaprio hasn’t really come up. If we now recognize that Monica Lewinsky was in a seriously vulnerable position during her affair with Bill Clinton, shouldn’t we also be thinking about the welfare of these women?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d argue that one of the reasons we haven’t is because these very young women are some of the most beautiful in the world. As such, there is an assumption that, since they could probably have anyone they wanted, if they end up choosing DiCaprio, he must be a good choice. The reality is, being exceptionally beautiful doesn’t make you worldly before your time, or necessarily equipped to deal with a man who is twice your age, world famous and who has been playing the same game with legions of women since before you were even born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the reasons we’ve traditionally processed DiCaprio’s love life via jokes rather than actual judgment is because the actor has not broken any laws that we know of. That \u003ca href=\"https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a30359722/leonardo-dicaprio-camila-morrone-relationship-timeline-age-gap/\">DiCaprio first met Camila Morrone when he was 35 and she was 12\u003c/a> doesn’t come up nearly as often as it should. (They were introduced by Morrone’s stepfather, Al Pacino.) That many of the women DiCaprio dates aren’t old enough to legally drink when he first meets them has also been under-discussed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13918217']Another major factor that’s been keeping DiCaprio off the hook is that he was a kid himself when he first came to prominence. His roles playing troubled teens in 1993’s \u003cem>What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?\u003c/em> and 1996’s \u003cem>Romeo & Juliet\u003c/em> are seared into the culture. He was just 22 when he made \u003cem>Titanic\u003c/em>. Because of this, even as he ages — dad bod and all — we still see a very young man when we look at him. If he looked more like Pedro Pascal or David Harbour, or if he’d only become famous in his thirties, we’d have noticed the depth of his dating life’s ick factor way sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also worth remembering that DiCaprio’s penchant for chasing young models wasn’t immediately obvious. In his younger years, he had two longterm relationships. The first was with Gisele Bundchen (six years his junior) for five years, and Bar Refaeli (10 years his junior) for five and a half. Perfectly normal dating behavior for a man in his twenties and thirties. Was it weird that the two women so closely resembled each other? A little.

The couple lasted four years and came to an end three months after the model turned — you’ve guessed it! — 25. Incidentally, DiCaprio and Nina Agdal broke up two months after her 25th birthday. He and Kelly Rohrbach split a month after she hit that milestone too. Bar Refaeli made it four months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be clear, age gaps, in and of themselves, aren’t the problem. We’re all going to fall in love with who we fall in love with, and sometimes that person just wasn’t born in the same era — love is love is love. When \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13869451/keanu-reeves-dennis-quaid-and-our-national-obsession-with-womens-age\">we pass judgement on younger women who date older men\u003c/a>, we often strip them of their agency and reduce them to trophies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13869451","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>But the issue with DiCaprio is not love with an age gap. The longer this all goes on, the less his situation looks even vaguely love-related. It looks like a pattern of swiftly replacing one model for the next once they hit a specific age milestone. Not all of them even make it that far — Blake Lively was 23 when the couple split (he was 36), Erin Heatherton was 22 (he was 37), Toni Garrn was 21 (he was 39).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the outside, it would appear these young women are interchangeable to him — disposable, like cars he’s done driving or suits he’s sick of wearing. They are reduced to trophies by the very circumstance of getting involved with DiCaprio in the first place, because we all know they’ll be discarded before they have time to develop a single, solitary wrinkle. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity-news/leonardo-dicaprios-girlfriend-turned-25-27265735\">The end of his relationship with Morrone was widely predicted\u003c/a> when her 25th birthday rolled around.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even when we take into account that these relationships are clearly consensual, it’s still surprising that, throughout all of the post-#MeToo conversations about the negative effects of power imbalances in relationships and sexual situations, DiCaprio hasn’t really come up. If we now recognize that Monica Lewinsky was in a seriously vulnerable position during her affair with Bill Clinton, shouldn’t we also be thinking about the welfare of these women?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’d argue that one of the reasons we haven’t is because these very young women are some of the most beautiful in the world. As such, there is an assumption that, since they could probably have anyone they wanted, if they end up choosing DiCaprio, he must be a good choice. The reality is, being exceptionally beautiful doesn’t make you worldly before your time, or necessarily equipped to deal with a man who is twice your age, world famous and who has been playing the same game with legions of women since before you were even born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the reasons we’ve traditionally processed DiCaprio’s love life via jokes rather than actual judgment is because the actor has not broken any laws that we know of. That \u003ca href=\"https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a30359722/leonardo-dicaprio-camila-morrone-relationship-timeline-age-gap/\">DiCaprio first met Camila Morrone when he was 35 and she was 12\u003c/a> doesn’t come up nearly as often as it should. (They were introduced by Morrone’s stepfather, Al Pacino.) That many of the women DiCaprio dates aren’t old enough to legally drink when he first meets them has also been under-discussed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"arts_13918217","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Another major factor that’s been keeping DiCaprio off the hook is that he was a kid himself when he first came to prominence. His roles playing troubled teens in 1993’s \u003cem>What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?\u003c/em> and 1996’s \u003cem>Romeo & Juliet\u003c/em> are seared into the culture. He was just 22 when he made \u003cem>Titanic\u003c/em>. Because of this, even as he ages — dad bod and all — we still see a very young man when we look at him. If he looked more like Pedro Pascal or David Harbour, or if he’d only become famous in his thirties, we’d have noticed the depth of his dating life’s ick factor way sooner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also worth remembering that DiCaprio’s penchant for chasing young models wasn’t immediately obvious. In his younger years, he had two longterm relationships. The first was with Gisele Bundchen (six years his junior) for five years, and Bar Refaeli (10 years his junior) for five and a half.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
