crotch humor

"Though these was no cleavege/crotch humour directly applied to Marv's wife, she still took a beating..."

But that's the whole point of this thread! Sexual jokes that are made on the account of women in kids' movies are rarely painful, always humiliating (like, a trap might have removed her clothes in front of a large public). But you'd never see a woman screaming in pain because she got hit in the box or in the chest. Not that I'm a sadist who thinks it's funny (or satisfying) in any way, but it happens to men in kids' movies and hardly ever happens to women. And in the rare cases that it does (like, Monster-In-Law) - then the film is not nearly as childish as Home Alone, and it's not nearly as painful as what happened to Mantegna in BDO. And that's exactly why I'm so puzzled! For some reason, Home Alone 3 was the first HO movie to have a female burglar - but even THEN people thought it would be funnier if the girl hit the guy in the crotch with the bat, and not the other way around!

I'm thinking that this is all probably because young children are educated that "pot" stuff are much more taboo than "winkie" stuff, which is merely comical in the eyes of a child. But still, there's something basically wrong about this for me, and I can't exactly poinpoint it.

I'll tell you what I mean by taboo: Imagine that I was the scriptwriter for Home Alone 5, and I wrote a scene where the kid places a spike under some trap, and when she walks on the trap she falls and the spike penetrates her in the groin and she is stuck there for hours and can't get out. (and since it's a kid movie, she'll just scream for help and look uncomfortable without any blood shown or hinted at) And then all sorts of funny bugs would walk on that spike and start to get interested in one of its ends, and "tickle" her in the groin so that she would half-scream and half-laugh. And hours later, her male burglar partners (who would obviously have gone through hell in their groins too in this sexually-equal film) would walk into the room and find her in this situation and couldn't help themselves but burst out in laughter. And then they lower the spike and release her from it, like if she was some piece of meat on a stick. Obviously, she would walk funny for the next few scenes and her male partners would make cracks about her crotch.

I think that what I just wrote is the sickest thing my mind has ever conjured up. And yet when done with comical acting and sticking to PG dialog and bloodless shots, then I can't see in it anything different than writing a script where the guy gets his nuts squeezed by a 9 months-old baby and then burnt with a lighter for 10 minutes, and then brutally stomped on - The script virtually says that the main "bad guy" gets viciously castrated in a movie that would appeal for 4 year-olds and up!! Why would the producers green-light BDO, but would send me to a mental institution for writing HO5 the way I described?

Anyhow, IMHO crotch humor in kids' films have gone WAAAYY over the line, and I think the MPAA should take this much more seriously. I don't want to see vaginas on spikes any more than I wish to see nuts on fire. They're all sick, wrong, and morally unjust to be shown to a kid.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
