  1. I know and these are all really good questions. There are good men who legitimately have to worry through no fault of their own. I still fall down on the side of respecting the comfort and autonomy of those without the power, and it's possible Luis has not had a favourable edit, but his behaviour is still not ok (imo).
  2. That's definitely one interpretation. I do see it, and Kensley may not be polite, but initially she seemed quite enamoured with him and now she's not. Or at least that's the edit. I see all these other cues of an adult male not respecting her space, her familial relationships etc...and steam rolling over her. From that perspective I can see how she's completely put off by him. It's not like the swing is the only incident. He didn't respect her paternal relationship. Repeatedly. Yes she was rude, but he was rude first and he had all the power. He made excessive comments to Olivia even after she asked him to stop. He was showing PDA with Molly in the restaurant even though Olivia was by herself and asked them to stop. During the TH with Molly he belligerently insisted on discussing Olivia's sex life even though Molly said it was off limits. He constantly crosses the line and it's not acceptable for anyone, regardless of culture. When you're told to stop, STOP Even if Kensley is rude it doesn't mean Luis isn't disrespecting her boundaries. I don't see this as a ´Murica thing. I see this as a respecting a child's autonomy thing. The nationality, ethnicity or socioeconomics are irrelevant.
  3. Exactly. He doesn't respect boundaries. Luis is a creep because he has been told "no" or "stop" in many ways and times but he stubbornly plows ahead with little regard to the feelings and expressed wishes of the women/girls he lives with. Cultural difference is not a free pass to behave as you wish. I don't care if Kensley is a precocious "brat" (not my word and i don't believe she is) or Olivia a sexually active teen (who cares?) the reality is that Luis is the adult, the "stepfather," in this scenario with inherent power over his stepdaughters and he is always subtly exerting it. He doesn't show any respect or empathy for them. And I think Kensley knows it.
  4. It's just a gut feeling, but I don't believe Jorge and Anfisa. I think he's a far bigger con artist than he's letting on. Yes, she's a gold digger, but he's not totally unaware and he's milking the poor schlub angle hen pecked by wretched shrew to direct attention to Anfisa's social media. I think the two of them would LOVE it if they were able to spin this into their own TLC reality show. I think his family is in on it to some degree as well. None of them seem to be using their real names except Anfisa.
