      Been binging @godlessnetflix while sick and even tho its very securely a western, it’s clearly (at least) trying to make space for women and black folks. But it leads me to the following question: does any ‘serious’ western movie or show NOT include rape?

      Thanks for all your responses. Haven't vetted them, but glad to know some exist... now I wonder how many still include other forms of violence against women. So often VAW is used as a trope to convey to audiences how gritty and terrible and lawless the film's world truly is.

      Overall, and with caveats, I actually enjoyed Godless, but throughout the show I was regularly reminded of this quote I've used before, "in the game of patriarchy, women aren't the opposing team, they are the ball." Especially at the end, yes, even given how the end plays out.

          Because I've yet to find a use for this meme ... If they won't play nice, that's when it's time to take your ball and go home. 😉pic.twitter.com/eplLGalKjD

          In the meantime, while you're resting up, I wanted to float a helpful suggestion to you. I don't know if you even read my tweets, but ... I think people just don't understand what it is you want as clearly as you think they do. It's not obvious to them:https://www.darknessfiles.com/single-post/2018/02/01/Make-Feminism-Great-Again …

          If you study drama you learn that it is a mirror to the many social ills found in the world. The goal is to hold the mirror up to the world and say "Look, these are you problems". Even Ancient Greek theater expressed the problem of women's rights in a very patriarchal society.

          But when all you do is show "how the world is," you reinforce that idea as indelible. "This is just how things are." You have to show change too. You have to show what the world could be like if things were different.
