In retrospect, the wording in my post should have specified that my idealized vision (which I am aware will probably never happen, and will likely not live up to even my lower-rung hopes even if it does) it would be a documentary dedicated to exposing rape culture, which uh. I was not totally clear on there ._.a
Anyway. If Moore maybe spent a couple of years studying up on it and included a line on how it's so insidious, even he got caught up in it, it might not be 100% made of fail. Realistically, I wouldn't expect it to be more than basic 101 at most (if that), should such a documentary be made. Even if he didn't include how he got caught up in it himself, I'd probably appreciate it for actually suggesting to a wide audience that rape culture might exist.
On the other hand, there's no reason someone else (someone better) can't do it instead. Now watch me sob as at least a dozen prominent progressive women do so, and then the documentaries get kept out of the big theaters and such until a man makes one :(
