Maybe the issue is just that it's shown at all and the way it's shown. Women are "marginalized" and "objectified" and "victimized" --- all words used as a way to feminize their suffering I suppose. I do think women are treated differently in this (and other) media when it comes to that sort of thing -- not completely, not always -- but I don't necessarily believe it's always as bad as it's made out to be. And it feels that no matter what people do it's always wrong. There should be a handbook.
The message can be "this is very very very bad and wrong." But many don't care about the message -- just the means of getting there.
