There is endless debate violence against women in film and tv, but none regarding violence against men, so I'm going to begin it.

In the above image the picture on the left advertised a tv show that featured 'funny' incidents of men being hit in the groin. On the right I've replaced the man holding his crotch in agony with a picture I drew of a woman in the same plight.
Black Panther was reviewed here, www.marketwatch.com/story/the-overt-feminism-of-black-panther-2018-02-16
by Melissa Silverstein, who makes this bizarre claim,
"The narrative that films with black leads do not travel overseas will no longer be accepted after this film."
Actually that was established by the movie 'In the Heat of the Night' which was made in 1967. Ms Silverstein claims to be knowledgeable about cinema, but evidently her knowledge isn't what she thinks it is! To move on, she makes this comment about the female warriors in the film,
."The beauty is there is never a thought that women shouldn’t go into battle."
And nor, as ever, is there a thought that the women shouldn't be fighting for the moral side, as if they were the bad guys, or girls to put it accurately, then they have to be shown being defeated and killed, and it's cinema law that only men get that role! Naturally Ms Silverstein makes no comment on that.
