mercuriosity, posts by tag: sexist bullshit - LiveJournal (original) (raw)

I just saw an ad for a movie called Sorority Row. Even though it's just a newspaper ad, just still pictures, I could tell at a glance that it was yet more Hollywood horror porn. Terrified-looking young women, eyeliner and mascara streaking down their beautiful faces, pink-glossed lips stretched open in silent, frozen screams. How is this considered "just" a horror movie? How is it that a movie containing, say, consensual sex between adults will receive exactly the same rating as a movie that sexualizes and sensationalizes slicing and dicing of women?

what the fuck what the fuck what the fuuuuuck

I am so sick of this shit. And I feel like I say that too much, but sometimes there's just nothing else to say when images keep punching me in the face.

ETA: We got internet set up this morning, and I totally meant to post a long, contentful update instead of explosive rage. Just had to get the throwing up out of the way; real update will come later.
