Asshatery (oh and spoilers for Kingsmen Golden Circle)

[finding_neo]

Apparently the director of the newest Kingsmen movie, Matthew Vaughn, is an asshat and decided it would be cool to show the main character digitally implanting a device in a woman's vagina. And by "digitally" I don't mean with a computer.

I considered seeing this tomorrow, but now I'll pass.

I guess I typically don't think very hard while viewing movies, because when I read the description of an egregious scene in the first Kingsmen movie, which I enjoyed as a whole and understood to be more or less a send-up of the Bond movies, my response is, "Well, that was unnecessary," but at the time while viewing the movie, I gave it a pass and probably thought it was funny or maybe even took it as the director intended. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/films/0/sex-joke-ruined-ending-kingsman-secret-service/ Behind a pay wall, unless you register, but you can register for free

Perhaps that is also decades of male conditioning - that women are often objects for male pleasure or, as the article states, a prize for a man's achievements, that's just how it is, so have another.

I guess I need to be a better "bloody feminist."

That bit and how it was filmed did make me cringe, but I still liked the movie overall. Talk about your bad feminists ...
