Great issue and a steal from the quarter box!
ReplyDeleteGlad you pointed out the rape culture scene and how it is sort of brushed by. As you say, this hasn't aged well.
That said, I am glad you covered it if only to point out just how far we have come in a relatively short period of time. People who think today's world is awful tend to ignore how horrible the past has been.
Similarly, I don't think these things should be put out of publication if only because they can serve as history lessons. A warning that 'this was wrong then and it is wrong now' points out that lesson. And it should be a lesson learned.
I might add that I used poor representations in classic movies as lessons when my kids were younger and we were watching TCM together.
Every time and culture has its ideas that future folk will look back on askance. Including many things we say and believe these days.
