What's the difference between pg-13 and R rated violence in movies? Guess.

It's good that he's moving away from freethoughtblog bashing (talk about a target rich environment!) and moving into MRM issues. At least I hope that's the trend.

That is a good submission. Not surprising, but important for men's continued awareness efforts.

In a kinda related matter, below is a link for a Dolph Lundgren interview. If you take a look, check out 8:28 - 8:57 in which Dolph exposes female action heroes (hint: they don't have to do as much as even less-than-rugged male action stars).

So the message i get from the edited version is you can inflict violence without fearing consequence. The original version shows that you should expect the consequences of reciprocal violence which is much more in line with reality.

If anything the dangerous message is the one from the edited version. If people buy into that and act that way in the street they are greatly increasing the chances in getting themselves hurt.

I know it was mentioned in the comments section of the YouTube video, but watch "This Film is Not Yet Rated" to get a better idea of the thin line that can make the difference in ratings.

PS. It is still available on Netflix.

There is one discrepency--the blood from the female character's mouth is notably more graphic than the other violent shots.

Also the MPAA is not held to...pretty much any standards. They aren't a regulated governmental agency and they aren't consistent by any means.

They are however sexist, prudish, and incredibly vulnerable to $$$. I don't know if their ratings are indivative of our culture as a whole, but in this case I would rule that sexism motivated their rating change.

I invite you all to watch This Film is Not Yet Rated
