Genre Feminine Vol. 1: Sucker Punch
As a nerd, I have to say, there is an unfortunate amount of objectification and obsession with women. Men in the nerd community are pretty bad at knowing how to interact with women. While this is changing, it is still a problem that we all should strive to fix. For advice and guidance on how to improve the nerd community, we should look toward Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch. By which I mean do the opposite. Despite what Snyder has said in interviews about it being a comment on female objectification in film, it’s a thoughtful critique in the same way The Birth of a Nation is a delicate discussion of race relations. Actually, I take that back. It is a comment on the issue. It’s just that the comment is “I would like more please.” (And yes, I know I’m a little late to discuss Sucker Punch, but the amount I care about timing is equal to the amount Zack Snyder respects women).
