every slight reference of "Montauk" takes me to the lanes of 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind'.
Women hitting people in movies and books.
(This has been bouncing around in my head for a while but it's not like cohesive thoughts, so apologies)
There are the Molly Wesleys (Harry Potter), the Aunt Cass' (Big Hero 6, specifically after they get arrested), Katniss Everdeens (The Hunger Games, especially at the end of the first book), Emma from No Strings Attached, Grey's Anatomy (multiple different occurrences) and I know there are more but that's just off the top off my head.
There are these scenes where the woman gets so upset, usually because she's worried about someone, and hits the person. It never injures them, but she hits them and saying something like "how could you do this!! I was so worried about you!!" And it's played as just a sign of their concern and it's no big deal. But like ??
I haven't really come to a conclusion on where I stand on this, but it feels wrong. Like, it's not violence because they actually love the person??
Also please reblog because I have like 5 followers and I want more opinions 👍👍
Okay also, the woman never injures the other person, which implies women are weak and can't hurt someone whether or not they are trying, and it implies that it's okay to use violence so long as you're a woman and you care about them, which is kind of a mix of sexism and reverse sexism (by which I mean sexism against women vs sexism against men, but obviously everyone is harmed by any form of gender discrimination etc)
And the male version of these scenes is guys shaking the female (imo) because men can't hit women and be good guys, so media loopholes that by using shaking instead of hitting.
Oh and also Grey's anatomy. Multiple occurrences and people.

It also plays off of the hysterical woman stereotype and it normalizes violence as a form of love
