Predatory, Intraspecies, Fear-induced, and Pain-induced. In this case, it is not exactly killing over another person or animal to establish dominance but when Mitch is starting to chase after Slim by using predatory tactics that caused her to be scared for herself and her daughter. Intraspecies is defined as male aggression whereas Mitch showed enormous aggression towards Slim that he almost controls her because he is wealthy. Hence he is fighting over her because he can have sex with other girls and expect Slim to be ok with it. Fear-induced is when slim feels frightened for the life of herself and her daughter, Grace when Mitch and his men went after her. Pain-Induced is when both parties are physically harming and abusing each other, except Slim started to be physical to Mitch and his men on the end. Predatory resulted in the end of the film where Slim took on Krav Maga courses to defend herself knowing with the intention of either killing him or defending herself for future

  • Sexism In The Movie: A League Of Their Own

    In the movie “A League of Their Own”, one can see how the more sexist views of the culture in the 1940s and 50s in America was present in the Girls Professional Baseball League. “A League of Their Own” is a movie about what was once the “All-American Girls Professional Baseball League” which was formed when the young men were sent over to serve in World War II. One of the most obvious cultural views that this movie shows is the feminizing of the baseball players to make them “more acceptable and women like”. Unlike men’s uniforms, that include a full shirt and pants, they were to wear skirts that were very short, too short to play baseball in comfortably. This alone shows how this league was just as much about show as it was about the women’s talent.
