Cinema has only been around for about 100 years. Has all of the world's violence towards women taken place only within the past 100 years?

If a violent act towards a woman takes place, and the inspiration for that act is violence in cinema, the inspiration for that act would have come from somewhere else if movies didn't exist.

There is still a funny notion that women should not write violent fiction.

I think women are sick and tired of being portrayed as victims, a lot of the time anyway, the bulk of their time on film.

I don't think violence on film breeds violence in life. Violence in life breeds violence in films.

I think probably like seeing women fight because we're generally not thought to be strong, especially in the case of this movie.

I do not consider myself a feminist. I do not believe that by doing female-oriented films that depict a woman fighting the system, we can change the system.

Physical violence is always a bore in films today. We don't see how much it hurts. We don't learn the true consequences of it.

I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.
