Gee, from most women I’ve met, they word they have for that type of man is… man.

And besides, the “waking up in the crates” scene and the Sasha Baron Cohen character were indeed great.

Yes, it’s one of my favorite ANIMATED movies ever. I don’t know why you ignored that adjective, not that I need to justify my taste in anything to someone who would leave such an obnoxious comment; I’m not the only blogger here, it’s highly possible you might find someone else who writes to your exacting standards of fillum snobbery. No need to go there, especially since I generally don’t do film-crit. Note to self: ignore all future comments from 216.253.108…

And when society and pop culture makes references to murderers, rapists, pedophiles, serial killers, psychos, the obvious assumption is that they’re male. Can one claim these words are misanthropic and shouldn’t be used?

I see your point Sabrina and agree with it somewhat, but here’s one way of disagreeing with it:

By positioning the younger men as the sexual supplicants, and herself as the john (pun not intended!), Anna is inverting the usual power structure of sex-for-money in a humorous way. Just as Roberto Benigni mocked Nazi marches in Life is Beautiful, without being a Nazi himself, Anna’s metaphorical turn as a john is a subtle attack on the debasing language that, as you point out, assumes that in sex-work, its the woman who’s a whore. Indeed, the hypocrisy is so ingrained in our language that mockery and unexpected role reversals might be the best way to draw attention to it.
