Ignoring the fact that being more active IS changing, I think women in horror movies have had it better than the femenists would have us believe. Especially in the 70's, if you were a guy in a slasher movie, you were fucked. The survivor was always a girl. Sometimes a guy would also survive, but never by himself. Yes, one could argue that the surviving girl is always the one who never has sex and is all nice and semi-subserviant, but this would be ignoring the fact that 99% of the time, the people who are having the sex in the movie are acting either stupid or irresponsible about it.
Horror movies nowadays usually have the sub-Sigorney Weaver badass empowered lady type, and while I'm not saying there shouldn't be any badass women in movies, the character(s) is usually cookie cutter and I'm starting to get a little tired of Michelle Rodriguez.
Just be glad SFF isn't here or this would turn into a thread of her bitching up a storm about the vast male conspiracy against anything with ovaries.
