MPAA rated films and violence against women versus female sexuality?

Question

I've just had a few of these questions milling around in my head for the past few days.

Are MPAA rated films (as opposed to NR) more likely to depict violence against women (e.g. attack, rape) than instances of candid female sexuality or sexual fulfillment?  Do these violent depictions tend to last longer (in terms of screen time) than the ones with female sexual overtones?  Do films depicting positive aspects of female sexuality (such as orgasm or showing parts of female anatomy in a favorable light) tend to receive higher ratings (that is, trending toward R and NC-17) than films in which violence against women is depicted or strongly inferred?

There is a documentary about this, but I can't remember the name of it. But yes, female sexuality, from a healthy, positive standpoint, caused films to get a higher rating than violence in general, and even sexual violence against women in particular. Additionally, the exact same act (masturbation, no showing of genitals) elicits a higher MPAA rating when a female is engaged in it (Natasha Leonne, in Down and Out in Beverly Hills) versus a male (Jason Biggs in American Pie). It is as though to the MPAA, so one must assume, to society, depictions of females enjoying sex acts are worse and more dangerous for children to see than depictions of violence toward women.

EDIT Yes! It's "This Film is Not Yet Rated." And no offense, Rowdy, but your statistic is irrelevant. No one is comparing depictions of violence against men to depictions of violence against women. We were discussing MPAA ratings for sex vs. violence.

it would look that sexuality is oftentimes dealt with greater harshly than violence in MPAA video clips. The data i'm staring at is easy, R rated video clips can contain an excellent style of violence yet some specific intercourse scenes and it would not make the score. you should possibly be good, MPAA scores are somewhat meant to guard human beings's innocence against greater vulgar factors of flicks. Is consented intercourse somewhat worst than violence, and are bare bodies worse than blood and brutality? it form of feels a sprint blended as much as me.

Never allow yourself to be influenced by films. Feminists have been doing this for a long time and as a result, they all think they can adequately defend themselves against violent men. They think they can run around with guns in their hands and tactically outmanoeuvre male soldiers. In the real world, this doesn't happen. Films nowadays try and make women feel empowered...That's not a bad thing, but it is when women take a lot of the things they see in films a little too literally.

No offense, but mainstream films, taken collectively, depict violence against men (sexual or non-sexual) AT LEAST 10 times more frequently than violence against women.

Yes, that's right: 10, 2*5, ten, Roman numeral X.
