That don't mean I can't get you there.
So. We saw Suckerpunch tonight.
Never in my life have I felt like my gender makes me a target for sexual assault. Never. Not even in abusive relationships have I felt that way.
It's sickening. I feel shaky, and uncertain, and jumpy. I don't like feeling like this, it makes me want to hit things.
Suckerpunch made me feel that way. The constant targeting of women in that movie for rape and sexual abuse was disgusting enough, but the fact that there is no comeuppance for it, nor is it even acknowledged over the course of the movie.
The action sequences were incredible, some of the most brilliant I've ever seen, but they were not enough to excuse the fact that almost every single male/female encounter in the film resulted in near sexual abuse.
I want to cry, and I'm going to bed.
