Description

Misogyny in various forms is a running theme, as is women's power to stand together and fight back. A minor recurring male antagonist repeatedly sexually harasses his impoverished female employees, and sometimes pressures then into sex. The only onscreen instance of this attempted rape is disrupted before anything happens. A major male antagonist uses a form of magic that is not specifically sexual, but is described as viscerally invasive and horrifying to his female victims. The language used is similar to language that is often used to describe sexual assault.
