I am also very, very tired of being told, as a parent, that wanting honesty in disclosure of the contents of a motion picture is tantamount to supporting censorship.
I understand and completely support this point of view. In fact, I'm frequently appalled at the parents in theatres who seem to utterly ignore the rating systems and bring young children to wholly inappropriate films.
there was definitely an atmosphere that bordered on harrassment in some of the film courses, where professors gleefully expounded in theoretical terms on the gaze while showing image after image of naked female bodies.
That would have been equally irksome, but very much not the case in my experience. In fact, quite the opposite. The undergrads who protested the film proceeded to make life difficult and unpleasant for the prof and those of us who supported the filmmaker (an undergrad, BTW) for the rest of the term.
