(110,159 posts)more brutal and violent and graphic... simply being dismissed as a womans reality. put on show after show after show.... for the male audiences entertainment. almost every mans movie one way or another. and the excuse it is historically correct, as it is sexualized to turn on, more and more.
it is mans reality too. and we do not see it.
it is childrens reality too and we do not see it.
and the very few male rapes that are in movies are very short, put out the point, show nothing, and move on.
but women. nah.... get that camera in there, body action, grease up body, lights, in the ultimate positions to be as much a turn on.... sexualize the brutality of it...
it is two different things.
that is what i am calling out. it is not only in GOT. but, it is in GOT too.
i picked up on it in deadwood. an excellent kick ass show. that always had the women sexually abused. cause you know, that was womens reality.
back in western day, you know what reality was....?
raping the boys and men.
hbo has made clear this is their intent and motive. was the pervert exec looking over the shoulder stating... you could rape here, you know. do it. cause we can put EVERYTHING on tv.
we validate it enough, and ya.... it will become our norm
they EXCUSED it saying wasnt really rape cause later got into it. that is normalizing that for all that watched. so much so, we miss that very point in this feminist forum adn instead make excuse for entertaining rape at womens expense. for no particular reason.
