Now if only the sound track was by Three-Arm Sally! And all the wonkiness of that series :) now that would be a better show!

Spidey what you did there.

So I guess the theme is peoples nightmares escaping from the dreamworld?

There’s nothing “bad” about The Fifth Element. >:(

AHS: This Series Is Full of Spiders

Everytime I see AHS posters I get excited for the next Cirque du Soleil

But the levite sends out his concubine. She is also a guest of Lot's is she not?

Except that your “it’s not a gender thing but a guest thing” narrative doesn’t make sense since the man and his concubine were also travelling with a male servant if you read Judges 19 in full.

I know which comment you’re replying to, which is precisely why I asked you the question I asked.

Think Independence Day or The Fifth Element.

I think it’s odd that you believe you can state with absolutely certainty that gender has no role here and that it’s just a coincidence that the people raped and murdered were women, even though sexual violence against women is common in the bible and sexual violence against men is basically nonexistent.

I don’t know whether you didn’t see my reply or just simply choose to ignore it, but I’m going to try again:

Why is the man’s concubine not considered a guest too? She came with the man (who is a guest) and stays at that house too but is for some reason not considered a guest worthy of protection and is offered to be raped instead of the man she came with.

I get what you’re saying. You’re trying to educate on what the story is supposed to mean. I just can’t help but look at it through a feminist lens. I’ve always been that way about bible stories, when they try to teach me moral lessons while using women’s bodies in violent ways.

If Lot had sons, he would have sent them out.

So, rape and murder are preferable to being gay.

Saw it last night. It was a bad film. (That dialog! That editing!) But it was so over the top bad that it was incredibly fun. (Think Independence Day or The Fifth Element.) I actually want to see it again. If it doesn’t make it’s money back in the theater, it definitely is going to make its money back in home release.…

Yeah, I get that, actually. But it’s still presenting rape of a man as an evil while rape and murder of the woman is a means of defusing the dispute.

No. It’s about the rules of protection regarding one who is a guest in your house.

dead girls and women—particularly those abused and victimized and murdered—rule the attention game*
