Violence Against Women Movies

The dominant images of women in our culture are entirely male created and male controlled. Men project their own innate, repressed femininity in order to disown it as inferior. In general, the tean aters are punished for promiscuity, while the women are punished for being women. The horror film may be the rare example of a jonra that permits the expression of women's sexual potency and desire. But it does so only to punish her for this very act, only to demonstrate how monstrous female desire can be.
