Enough is enough: from TV’s “crime porn” to endemic violence, the assault on women has to stop

8. I used to like the CSI shows until I noticed something and saw something

(And someone had called them "dead chick" shows&quot what I noticed, was that nearly every dead women who wasn't a random serial killer victim, had some sort of "moral" failing; she was a prostitute, a cheating wife, a woman after money, a rejected women, a woman who rejected.

When found, the bodies often seemed posed ever so slightly in a sexual manner (unless sex was involved, then posing turned into unapologetic quasi-porn.

That's not the part I meant I saw. There was a story line in one of the shows where some crazy asshole was kidnapping women, kept them in a cellar prison, raped them until they were pregnant, and having them cared for by the previous kidnapped and raped woman, who had an earlier child. That woman caregiver was then murdered after the birth of the baby and he went off to start the cycle again. I can't remember what he did with the kids. I think he kept the boys and dropped off the gilts or something. I can't remember how many kids or women.

But that was it, I had had it with those bullshit shows.

I like a lot of weird stuff, old Italian horror movies, "revenge" movies--I've read my share of deliberately misogynistic/misandric "horror porn" (it doesn't pretend to be anything else and has absolutely no redeeming qualities except an incredible sense of the ironic) I even watched "The Human Centipede" part one--- but I was through.

These shows aren't a personal quick-- these are mainstream TV, or mainstream movies that fetishizes this bullshit, and spoon feeds it to the general public. Who then, of course not realizing exactly how easily manipulated they've been, will defend their 'right' to watch it (well fucking of course) and then deny it affects them in any way.

Which is, of course bullshit.
