Opinion |Is Machine Gun Kelly's commitment ring for Megan Fox?Or abusive?

Bien, revelación total: antes de comenzar este artículo, debo confesar que cuando se supo la noticia del compromiso de Machine Gun Kelly y Megan Fox (se supone que la pareja "bebió la sangre del otro" para celebrarlo), recibí muchos mensajes de texto de amigos que me señalaron las... cualidades únicas del anillo de compromiso de Fox y decían que "me encantaría".OPINION | ¿El anillo de compromiso de Machine Gun Kelly para Megan Fox es romántico? ¿O abusivo?

An emerald size pear (Fox's birth stone) engasted next to a pear size diamond (Kelly), the Art Deco style jewels are supposedly sets, in two magnetic bands of thorns that Kelly said on an Instagram post they hadThe intention of "gathering the halves of the same soul to form the dark heart that is our love".

Far from lyricism, what this means is that Fox's ring is embedded with sharp and thorny spikes that, if trying to take it off, would hurt her, because, according to the singer's comments to Vogue magazine, "love is pain".

"The concept is that the ring can be separated to form two rings," he said."When it is united, it remains in place through a magnet.So, do you see how it fits?And then it forms a dark heart.And do you see this from here?The bands are actually thorns.So if you try to take it off, it hurts ".

At first glance, as my friends knew I would do it, I admit it: I fainted myself.Because?Well, like any adult gothic that respects itself, lover of vampires, the poetic intensity of such a gesture, the style drama of Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton (the couple is famous for having used roads with the blood of the otheras necklaces);It may certainly seem romantic.

It is strange, it is taboo, it is passionate and is attractive, in its pure and strange intensity, for those who sigh similarly by the type of love story that is between the characters of Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston in (my personal favorite) Only Lvers Left Alive;or in the Platonic blood bond between Brad Pitt and Kirsten Dunst in an interview with the vampire;or even twilight, for the youngest fans of the macabre.

Some attract the darkness, the intensity of a gesture that reflects the actions of Romeo and Julieta;the vertiginous romance of "dying for you" that even death can suffocate;That feeling of being so deeply in love with someone that you want to consume it and be consumed, as the poet Pablo Neruda expresses so beautifully in his "love sonnet XI": "I want to eat your skin as an intact almond";As I wrote here.And yet...

There is a great "however" that even me, someone attracted by the frighteningly strange, I cannot reconcile, and it is the murky nature of a pain -based relationship.It worries me that anyone who says to love another may want to actively hurt him if he tries to "leave";especially when it focuses on the institution of marriage, which in itself is based on the concept of possession.

Machine Gun Kelly is a man who gives a woman a diamond ring as a symbol (yes, of love), but also to show the world that she "belongs".That is what the commitment rings represent;It is essential for its history.It is believed that the tradition that women use them in heterosexual relationships has their origin in a Roman custom in which wives used rings attached to small keys to indicate the property of their husbands;According to the GIA (Gemological Institute of America), Roman women used ivory, flint, bone, copper and iron rings to represent a commercial contract, or to affirm “love and obedience”.I am surprised and the little we have advanced since then.

He also inspires images of domestic abuse: of jealous husbands that threaten to hurt their wives if they behave badly;of authoritarian and toxic men who closely monitor "their" women;of the type of men who control their wives and girlfriends in a coercive way telling them that they will die "if they leave them;The insidious threat of "if I can't have you, nobody can".

Kelly gives Fox a ring that could cause physical pain and keep it together with him, he is out of her control.It seems to me a not so subtle sample of toxic masculinity, and it simply does not make me feel comfortable.In fact, they seem important alert signs.I find myself asking: Is Kelly's gesture really romantic, or is it really abusive?
