Yes, it’s because of some men, maybe a lot of men, maybe men that don’t even think they’re doing something wrong, and we get it puts men on the defensive hence the “not all men” apology we make when we talk about it but honestly, one dude that feels singled out and victimised seeing or hearing women relate the chore that can be just existing as a woman without getting murdered, raped, assaulted, cat called, indecently exposed at or harassed - it’s not about you. When we talk about day to day issues women face because of men, we just want for a moment to address our experience in the world. But you’d be surprised how many times a lesser form of SA or “grey area” comes up, a dude will go “yeah, but that’s not rape tho”Īnd tbh I think it is gracious that we do pre-fix these kind of talks with “not all men” because it obviously isn’t all men, but the conversation isn’t exclusively about the experience of men in the world. Of course the average man wouldn’t murder someone or rape someone by force and the idea appalls sane, well adjusted men.

But I reckon if there was a completely honest survey, that went into the finer points of things men do to women that aren’t murder or penetration rape by force (eg unsolicited dick pics, harassing/verbally abusing them for saying no, pressuring, coercing or lying to get sex, swapping nudes with friends/any form of revenge porn, blue balls, friendzoning etc etc ).

It’s hard to get accurate quantifiable data when asking men to reflect on something negative they might have done, it always will put people on the defensive and nobody likes being on the back foot. So I was being gracious there, I hope.īut yes. Or simply the obsession some dudes have with virgins/purity and being the one to take that to bring it back to my original point. Rather than things like “if I can’t have you no-one can” and the various delusions stalkers can get in their head. But if you’re in the market for a dull, semi-campy, fairly gory satire about teenagers, abstinence, sex, and vagina teeth, then this should be the next movie you watch.Honestly, the reason I deleted the essay was because I reckoned that OP of that “out of bounds” comment probably was thinking something like “bros before hoes” aka you wouldn’t make a move on your mates wife or daughter, your brothers wife, the mother in law etc. It won’t satisfy if you’re looking for real horror there’s no suspense or feeling of dread. Ultimately, it’s a neat concept, I just really wish they’d have done more to explore it or at least make it more interesting. This movie seemed to have a few things going really well for it, but it just didn’t successfully pull it all together for me. Jess’ dad, Bill, is played by Lenny von Dohlen (Harold Smith from Twin Peaks), and her repulsive step-brother, Brad, is played by John Hensley (Matt McNamara from Nip/Tuck). Actually, I rather liked the entire cast. She had to work with a pretty uncomplicated character while basically pulling off being the focus of the entire movie and I think she did a bang-up job. I thought she was great as the lead, really exemplifying the cute yet complicated virgin that all the boys want. Its one shining “pro” for me was the acting by Jess Weixler. I can’t honestly say this movie was wholly terrible. I mean…really, a pro-abstinence, teenage girl learns she has been gifted with vagina dentata, allowing her to immediately and severely punish any uninvited peens or fingers? What about that description doesn’t make one think this could be a clever and enjoyable satire? Plus, the synopsis of this movie intrigued me enough to want to watch it.

Part of being a lover of horror movies and all things horror means there’s a sick part of my psyche that enjoys being made to feel uncomfortable or grossed out. You may be thinking, “but, Jamie, if you’re so grossed out by teeth stuff, why would you decide to watch a movie called Teeth?” That’s a great question and I thank you for asking. Teeth, however? I’ll audibly voice my disgust and horror. Blood? Guts? Decapitations? You name it, I can watch it without a problem. Suffice it to say, my frequent teeth-related dreams result in my discomfort during movie scenes involving similar imagery. Whatever the meaning, I don’t really care – they’re horrible and we hates them. I have since learned these dreams are common and are typically associated with stress or anxiety. I’ve had countless number of dreams about my teeth either breaking, shattering, crumbling, or just simply falling out. Since we don’t know each other very well, here’s a little tidbit of info about me: I’m sort of weird about teeth.
