Don't watch Pulp Fiction either.
It is interesting how many men (not most of you guys) have little, or no, trouble watching a movie where a woman is raped and froced to have sexual intercourse against her will.
The same guys, however, cringe at the idea of man-on-man rape.
I do not wish to make some sort of a political point here. But as the son of a woman, the husband of a woman and the father of young women, I find the level of violence against women (including rape) depicted on movies and other media to be utterly despicable.
While following the news of the young Ohio woman who was found dead this past Saturday (while carrying her near term baby girl) I heard that the leading cause of death among pregnant women is murder at the hands of a man known to the victim. That statistic is just mind-numbing and it speaks volumes about the low regard that our still male-dominated society has for women.
This is a shonda! (Mistress will know what it means.)
