the taylor swift ai porn issue is such a bleak reminder of how inescapable the horrors of misogyny are. like obviously there's the talk of sort of "celebrity problems" like treatment by the tabloids etc, but beyond that there's just the constant heinous shit that women seemingly cannot escape no matter what. it doesn't matter that she (as well as other female celebrities) is extremely rich and famous and successful and has basically as much privilege and power as it is possible for any person to have, ultimately that's still not enough to escape the revenge porn and sexual assault and stalking and harassment. like there is literally no level of power a woman can have that puts her out of reach of all the men who hate women and want to control and humiliate and subjugate us in any way they can.
Also, if I were going to double bill Road to Paradise with another movie it’d be A Woman’s Face (1938.) Not only because of the con woman angle but also in the way that they make you sympathize with their seemingly hardened heroines. In large part due to the performances of Loretta Young and Ingrid Bergman.
(ETA: Warning, Road to Paradise has a silly cop-out of an ending though.)
