Once again: No titles or graphics, also the sound mixing is a mess, but I did get a chance to do revisions on the script before recording so I'm a lot happier with the structure and flow this time.

I'm out of town for the rest of the week, so nothing new til after Sunday. Hoping to make time to revise the rest of the script while I'm traveling so everything will feel roughly as tight as this segment.

bringing back what's stolen: the butch rough

Now, as a lesbian, I don't necessarily agree with your use of butch, because within lesbianism the identity of 'butch' has nothing to do with masculinity because lesbian identities have nothing to do with masculinity. But w/e. It's a good video.

Not sure I see how Furiosa doesn't fit the model of the Butch you describe. What femine signifiers does she display? I think this segment needs to better address this question. I'm enjoying these though :)

I agree with Freddy in that I think Furiosa generally fits within the butch trope and that should probably be acknowledged/addressed in some way, though I also agree with your points that the movie as a whole might not be saying 'you need to be X', it seems kind of like ignoring the elephant in the room if you just skate past that without acknowledging it. It's no less a great movie. I don't even know that it would be a better movie if Furiosa was less butch, because there is a lot there about like, the ways in which it's okay for women to utilize masculinity so while Furiosa doesn't speak to the power of 'violent feminity' it does speak to the power of 'women being allowed to look the same as any male action protagonist'.

Wooo! Exploring restrictive masculinity! I'm so stoked to see the finished product but also enjoying the process share SO MUCH. Also, as a woman who HAS been mistaken for a man, it would never occur to me to tell anyone to 'suck my dick', which I've just realised it such a lazy screenwriter assuming-butch-women/lesbians-are-just-lady-men.
