I have to confess that threat and violence--IN STORIES--can be pretty much of a turn-on for me, depending on the story. And I haven't analyzed myself enough to know what details of the story make it a turn-on and what ones make it a turn-off.
So: I know it's bad that it's always done to women, etc. But I guess I'm just humbly stating the obvious and saying that there are plenty of complicit women viewers/readers. LIke myself, in some instances. Certainly doesn't mean it's all that I want in my entertainment, or even most of what I want in my entertainment, just saying that a little of that, I don't mind. But clearly people's mileage varies WILDLY. And it's certainly the root of a lot of problems.
