She writes a lot on this very topic: integrating violence (primarily against females) with sex, and the damage that it does to male-female relationships and the [lack of] value that women place on themselves. I'm with you, I plug my ears and close my eyes...or just get up and leave. I literally have an adverse physical response to rape/molestation/assault scenes and I cannot stomach seeing them. It scares me that our society has become so apathetic to this type of violence. It has become an accepted cultural norm, and it isn't just men that accept it, but women, too! I love this blog and I plan to share it with my classmates, friends, and family! I am actually taking a class right now called Images of Beauty, and we’re reading “The Beauty Myth” by Naomi Wolf.

Do most kids actually see movies in theatres now? Or do they hole up at somebody's house and rent pay per view? <abbr><em>that girl’s last blog post..<a href="http://heyyourememberme.blogspot.com/2009/02/boy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oing.html" rel="nofollow">Boy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oING!!!!!!!!!</a></abbr></em> And what do the ratings really mean these days anyway?

I'm a romantic/comedy movie girl. Have to say what I read scares me of our kid's future and the future of our society. Yes people get desensitize by watching something over and over. To me a PG13 movie having those scenes is an absolute destruction of the youth mind. After a while girls think this is normal to be beaten and raped and boys have no problem being violent and ... I wish there was a way to prevent the production of these kinds of movie. Unfortunately as mentioned before you can hardly find a nice nonviolent movie these days. <abbr><em>Anna’s last blog post..<a href="http://busymomsblog.com/2009/03/11/motherhood-lessons-my-mom-my-mentor/" rel="nofollow">Motherhood Lessons: My Mom, My Mentor</a></abbr></em> I normally avoid horror, or even mildly violent movies.

I would never have guessed the comic book movie would contain all that! You know that's going to be a huge pick for boys 8-25! Just great. <abbr><em>that girl’s last blog post..<a href="http://heyyourememberme.blogspot.com/2009/02/boy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oing.html" rel="nofollow">Boy-oy-oy-oy-oy-oING!!!!!!!!!</a></abbr></em> I can see your point – about the sexual connection.
