I absolutely do. As an individual. Do I think it worked that way in terms of its cultural impact, that by and large patriarchal men left the film feeling a little uncomfortable, a little disrupted, a little challenged in their worldview? No. I sure don't.
So your answer is--just don't voice those critiques? I mean, the "violence" art may contribute to isn't like that. Films that work to maintain the patriarchal status quo are all drops in an ideological ocean. It doesn't mean they're harmless. This shit is all very complicated.

No, my answer is "Understand the movie you're critiquing before you critique it." This has all blown up from a terrible, stupid misreading of a film that's not hard to read. I can't fathom why it's being defended by anyone.

Criticism carries its own responsibilities.
