It’s International Women’s Month this March, an incredibly important time to advocate and support the fight for gender equality.

I remember the first time I ever heard the phrase “manic pixie dream girl"—it was as though millions of tiny puzzle pieces clicked together in my head. It was a concept I had been aware of, something that had long frustrated me. It was the phrase that sat at the tip of my tongue for every heroine that fell flat, every female character that managed to strike just the wrong nerve. I knew something wasn’t quite right, but until that moment I was helpless when it came to articulating my grievances.
Despite its taboo, sex is almost impossible to avoid in media, and it's especially difficult to ignore in film. Directors love to sprinkle in some gratuitous nudity or a few intimate encounters, but can you blame them?

I, along with literally everyone else on the planet, spent my winter break binging the latest season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Shivers went down my spine as the sound of chopping scissors permeated the quiet theater; my friends and I scrunching our faces in disgust and waited with bated breath for the frightening music to end. I listened to the faint melodies with anticipation, nearly jumping out of my seat when the music swelled and the silence of the protagonist spoke volumes. The Witch, released in 2016, was an excellent film, filled with hidden meaning and horror that followed you long after you stopped watching. It was the first horror movie that I remember with a truly noticeable soundtrack. Although I didn’t remember the exact tune of the music played, I remember the feeling that it created in the pit of my stomach, one of fear and hesitation and excitement all at once.
