GUESTBREAKER: Your Movie Picks Are Disturbing

I don’t want to watch Rob Roy or Braveheart again, sweetie.  We’ve watched those each five times in as many months.

Sure, the films make a nice statement about personal freedom and staying true to yourself … to dudes.  To ladies it makes the statement: you will be raped and/or killed if a) we feel like raping and/or killing you or b) we’re pissed at your husband.  Basically, it makes me feel like you’re hoping I’ll be raped and/or killed down the line, so that you can avenge me.  I get it.  It happens.  I’m not saying the story isn’t strong and the acting isn’t good.  I just don’t need to be reminded that in more savage times, I probably would have been violated.  I mean, you don’t keep suggesting we watch The Shawshank Redemption or American History X, which have similar messages of freedom, honor, and torture porn and are instead full of dude rape.  Do you see what I mean?  So can you pick a different movie tonight?  What’s that?  You have?  Great!

It’s what?  The Accused?

Get.  The fuck.  Away from me.
