Films Directed by Women: Cléo de 5 à 7 (Cleo from 5 to 7) (1962, dir. Agnès Varda).

This thread from Jessica Chastain just really made me think…I revered Tarantino so much, loved his female protagonists, his style, everything. But now looking back, I realize how much I normalized some of the violent and abusive behaviors he displayed so blatantly, yet with a certain distinct subtlety in his films - passing it off as empowerment wherein power does not really lie. This goes beyond Tarantino, too. How many male directors use the abuse of women to shape and mold them in their storyline? How many exploit their power to get the shot that strokes their ego? It’s even more than sexual abuse, assault, and rape. It’s men using their power to be violent and show the world that violence, and be praised for it. The cult of male directors who can pass off violence against women as female empowerment astounds me.

i feel like why the aziz ansari case is polarising and why so many men as well as women (many of whom have previously been supportive of #metoo) are adamant that it wasn’t sexual assault is because if you accept that coercion is not consent, then a lot of men have to accept that they have inflicted non consensual sex acts upon women/people. and if women admit that coercion isn’t consent than they have to accept that they had non consensual sexual acts inflicted upon them. 

and whilst explicit and repeated consent is important, the focus on “no means no” has left some people acting like ten no’s and a single defeated yes means yes. also that due to societal conditioning or pressure, women or more vulnerable people may not say a clear and firm “no” but rather a quiet and placating “i’d rather not” or “if you don’t mind can we do something else”

Just saw an interview with Guillermo del Toro in which he said “Emotion is the new Punk” and tbh that’s the mood for 2018

unless all these actors and actresses who have worked with rapists and abusers apologize or actually feel remorse for working with them and do more than just wear what they’d usually wear to an awards show then i really don’t care hollywood is full of hypocrites who say one thing and do another it’s frustrating
