I don't really understand that the anger and defensiveness that my video and videos like mine dealing with gender or race create. Obviously there is truth to what these videos are saying (inequality exists in our society); otherwise people wouldn't be so defensive. Just something to think about I guess.

Othsma- Obviously you do not have the intellectual ability to understand that this video tells us that men are not naturally violent, but that they learn violence form the media. Thus at the end of the short, it asks "what is film teaching us?" I'm sorry that you are too thick headed to understand the meaning of a simple short.

I guess there's more men killed by women than women killed by men in film.

In fact, when a man and a woman figth in a movie, the woman ALWAYS win. Film reinforces the idea that a woman punching (or simply slapping) men is a strong, powerful woman; but a man punching women is a bastard.

If you care about GV, care about both genders. Furthermore, care about violence, ignore genders.

This is a very biased video.

I didn't refuse to do anything. The point was domestic and sexual violence, which 94% of cases are committed by men. My belief is we teach men to be assertive and powerful while we teach women to be passive and submissive, and this breads a society where violence against women is common. Film reinforces and recreates this envionment.

Your example of Miho is violence but it is neither domestic nor sexual.

Feel free to create a video about female violence, but that isn't what mine is about

Ok. Let's leave abortion in peace, and return to violence in film.

Why did you refuse to show violence exerted by women? They can be as violent as men. Specially in film.

I haven't deleted any of your comments. You have the right to express your views like I do

I don't understand you anger.

rape=sexual violence=violence. It is the point- I would know I created the video.

Abortion has nothing to do with one gender committing violence against another gender. If you consider it violence at all-then it would be violence committed by a parent against a child. But I didn't post the video to discuss abortion.

You stick to the topic -violence, not rape.

Why don't you show us Miho, nurse Ratched, Peyton Flanders, Catherine Tramell, Elle Driver, Mystique...? at least Cruella de Vil or Cat Woman.

And abortion is the worst form of gender violence.

(But I guess you're going to delete my comments in your tendentious video...)

Don't fool yourself.

Really worrying violence is that exerted by women.

Such violence may go from "innocent" slaps to boyfriends (in many many movies), to the ruthless abortion.

In Sin City itself, there's violence exerted by women against men -remember Miho (Devon Aoki).

And what about violence against men in film?

if you believe men are naturally violent,you're an idiot.
