I just saw this video talking about actresses who've had to wear sexualized outfits on film that made them uncomfortable (think Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad) and it brought up an ongoing concern of mine about how films and tv shows are way more explicit now than they've been before. Thinking about how many actresses have been topless or nude on camera when it's totally unnecessary) Like I know Hollywood is experimental and would show sex and nudity in their films, I don't have a problem with that it's just how disproportionate the amount of women vs men who have to be naked and sexualized in film is. It's misogyny, pure and simple. Forcing actresses to put their bodies and sexuality on display for the pleasure of male directors and a male audience. And I hate that you can never point out how many actresses have come out and said that no, they didn't like wearing sexualized outfits on screen, they didn't like going nude/being pressured to go nude, they don't like sex scenes or explicit rape scenes but still anytime anyone mentions this you have to fight puritan allegations because god forbid you question how a notoriously sexualized and objectified marginalized community seems to always be sexualized and objectified in media.

#the pyre #I wish I remembered her name but I saw this snippet of an interview with this actress in her 40s who said that she wished she got more role #but as a woman in her 40s all her roles are either of a mother or sexulized #she specfically mentioned not wanting to do sex scenes especially for films with male directors #and to me this confirmed that atleast some actresses know that the only reason why they're given these sex scenes especally the long explic #scenes we get a lot nowadays are all to pander to a male audience which is why I roll my eyes when liberals brush off #any concerns as just not being sex positive or progressive enough #I really hate this new development where you can't point out the obvious without a liberal responding that not only are you wrong but they'#more progressive than you for fully supporting the thing you're criticising no questions asked
