Call Me Crazy

Here lies a quick warning for those who are easily offended. Stop reading now and move on with your clear intentions of entertainment.

Now onto today's post.
I am currently taking a women's studies course in college and it has brought me mixed feelings throughout the semester. When I started I thought easy class then it went to this is bullshit. Now I feel a little more open and ready to place myself into what someone may be feeling. On the other hand, there are many things I am not happy with. For one I just read a chapter of a book that discusses slasher films. This really bugged me and I felt I needed to talk about it even if it is to myself. I found that it kept saying the same thing over and over. Slasher films feature women as an interpretation of male sexual confusion and pretty much mommy issues. Keep in mind that this is mind first impression of what I read and I can be wrong but it just made me so angry that this book itself features only the films with leading roles or killer as male. If they were to name any of the other MANY horror films that have women featured as the killer they would find that these women are not portrayed as masculine but quite feminine. they hold themselves the way they want and act both genders when required. 

Here's a link for a list of movies with females in the killer role: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls031962008/

Now watch some of those movies and just think of how complex these lady killers are and how strategic they are on not just getting revenge but the sheer pleasure they get from their own acts. If you can try to watch one of my favorite movies Basic Instinct. Just take a look and tell me do they have a unisex name? Are they tomboys? Do they do things for themselves or for revenge? I want to know your thoughts.
