		<description><![CDATA[There's a lot to write about because - I am pleased to say - women are being written rather well, in some cases. They're increasingly dynamic. Unlike "chick" shows where several characters add up to one "real" woman, each character embodying a facet of the female psyche (think: Sex and the City, Designing Women and The Golden Girls, to name a few), some of today's women have a little more in the mix: they're allowed to be sexy and smart and confused and confident...all at the same time. What a novel idea!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=556&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Both films contain rape content (The Last House on the Left is about vengeance resulting from the act), but Watchmen presents this violence without a caveat. Instead, the film justifies the rape by (I'm told) making the Comedian repentant and by (I'm told, although it's also obvious) structuring the story so that Silk Spectre's heir apparent is conceived during the Comedian's successful, albeit violent, conquest. The movie should have shown the rape and not just its unsuccessful precursor. And it should have condemned the violence. Instead, it delights in violence of all kinds. A pedophile therein doesn't just kill a little girl...he leaves her bones to be chewed on by dogs. Isn't the first half of that thought horrific enough on its own? Why must it be compounded?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=499&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
