So, the topic for this week was Women in Animation and I was glad that we got the opportunity to talk about it, especially since guys can be somewhat sexist towards women. What I found to be the most interesting was the type of humor women can put into their movies, and it doesn't offend women at all. When guys create humor that pokes fun at women and somewhat degrades them, women can find that offensive. In the films made by women, I found it less offensive when young boys were looking up the nurse's skirt or when the women were taking baths. I also really enjoyed the humor of the film in which the old woman bought a blow-up doll of an old man. It was poking fun at the males who just sort of see women as objects for pleasure, while women see their relationship with males as a sort of companionship.
Thank you for posting your view on the film about the old lady with the blow-up man! That was not my take at all! I like yours much better!
