Why would you care either way how 'feminine' other men act as long as they aren't acting inappropriately towards you?
Usually in movies you aren't supposed to enjoy a rape scene, are you?
The other themes are all common in the horror genre too. I'm a little surprised you are able to watch horror movies at all considering a large proportion of them involve people being scared, injured, intimidated and killed at some point.

I think I answered all those questions in my post already, or to a large extent, but I'll take them up anew.
In the case of a women having authority over me, I suppose it's sad if I have a problem with any human having authority over me, but I do, men and women. I think it's very human. I'd rather be resistant to authority with discernment, as opposed to a blind follower. As I said, I think it's heightened with a woman, but I know it, admit it, examine it, and I deal with it properly. I actually doubt anyone even knows. That's success with weakness.
Why would I even care if a man acted feminine? Again, I have some thoughtful ideas, and working those I've made concrete progress in renewing my mind, but people have to go father than that. I espouse 'know thyself', but that's only helpful. I decide to love and respect people regardless of my feelings. Not perfectly, of course. But I try to constantly watch and recognize my 'reflex' thoughts and feelings, and then exercise self control. I'm not dependent on what I'm used to, how I was raised, what I think I know, subconscious whims and feelings. I hope that makes sense.
As I said in my post, in a horror film, if people dying, being in peril and being scared is part of the story, and moves the story, I'm OK with that. I said I don't like films where that's all there is (like gore porn). Horror films, even if they seem 'supernatural', are about dealing with the truth, facing fear, suffering, sacrifice, defending, rescuing, redemption and changing. That's what I like about Horror film and all kinds of stories stories.
