Hostage Situation

The trailer for the new Jennifer Aniston/Gerard Butler movie The Bounty Hunter makes me angry, and really, really uncomfortable (trailer starts at about 00:27): You know what’s hysterical? Picking up your ex-girlfriend and throwing her in a trunk, and hanging up on her when she calls you from said trunk crying because you “know her [...]

Differing Sex Drives = Domestic Violence (Except That It Doesn’t)

Most idiotic quote of the year goes to Bettina Ardnt, from her piece, “Women need to say yes to sex.” (Emphasis mine): “For couples to experience regular, pleasurable sex and sustain loving relationships women must get over that ideological roadblock of assumptions about desire and ”just do it”. The result will be both men and [...]

Domestic Violence on MTV’s ‘Teen Mom’

I’ve praised MTV’s show Teen Mom, in conversations and on Twitter, for being a really groundbreaking show. Last year, they aired 16 and Pregnant, which followed four pregnant teens on their journey through pregnancy. Teen Mom picks up where 16 and Pregnant left off.

Domestic Violence and Mental Health, Part I

So this is where I come in. Exposure to abuse and trauma over a significant period of time may eventually result in significant mental distress. A significant number of people in the U.S. experience mental health problems – problems that often go unaddressed. Abuse and violence are associated with increased risk for developing a range [...]

Badvertising

These Versace ads for F/W 2009 (featuring Gisele Bundchen) creep me out. I collect ads and pictures from magazines and keep a book of them, for use with clients. It’s a projective thing; I’ll ask them to tell me a story about the person in the picture, or see which photos produce reactions in them, [...]
