Teeth (2007)
Sexist, Misandrist Filth
TEETH appears to be the most offensive, misandrist film in history. I'm certain that those of us who express outrage at a male-genital-mutilation fantasy will be accused of not having a sense of humor. To those who say that I shall ask what their opinion would be of a film whose protagonist went around destroying women's vaginas. If they would find that as disgusting and sexist as I do then they should think the exact same thing about this film.
It's fine if someone wants to make a movie with an anti-rape message, but gleeful, "fun" treatment of the destruction of men's bodies is a direct attack on ALL men and boys.
Off the Chain (2005)
Disgusting Filth.
Imagine a film that did nothing but ridicule women, including jokes about committing violence and sexual mutilation against them.
If that would make you angry, you should hold the same indignation towards OFF THE CHAIN, which commits the same transgression towards men.
There is a place for playful teasing between the sexes, but none for treating people as less than human, or "jokes" about sexual violence. I can't think of any other ethnic, religious, or gender group about which such antipathy would be tolerated. If it's unthinkable to joke about destroying a woman's sexual organs, and it is, then it's equally wrong to joke about doing the same to those of men.
How Do I Look? (2004)
Elitist Show Sends All the Wrong Messages
This show runs on adjacent stations and simultaneously with Howard Stern's program, and it's tough to tell which one is more insulting to women. Each episode, they take a young woman (who seems perfectly happy with how she looks) and give her an unwelcome, unwanted makeover, insulting the way she currently looks and actually destroying some of her favorite articles of clothing.
The most common "complaint" about the woman's style is that she doesn't "look like a woman enough," as if to suggest that women should never wear athletic gear, sweatpants, or baggy clothes even when working out. (I guess exercise and sports are just for guys, according to the show.) I'm male, but if four people came into my house, insulted my clothing, and ripped up my sweatshirt in front of me, I'm mostly sure I'd throw them out of a three-story window. The women are made to give up their comfortable clothes and instead put on things they find too revealing or wrong for them, including cleavage shirts, short skirts, and spike heels, all in the name of making her look "more feminine." (I suppose a woman doesn't look like a woman unless dressed as a prostitute.) I personally think the women look better in the college t-shirts and jeans and well-worn sneakers, but the more important point is that THEY liked how they looked better that way, and are made to act like something they're not.
This show needs to be blown up ASAP.
