Girl Power

When I was reading the article it dawned on me that by relating maternal strengths to horror films is a compliment. This is because women were starting to gain power in our society and our biggest strength is child birth, it is the one thing we can do the men can't. So we play it up and yea it can get a little funny. Like in Carrie when she started to go through puberty she get magic powers that helped her to kill people. Or when Alien master computers are reffured to as the "mother ship" because we gain a mind of our own at this stage in society women were no longer depending on men that could make a living and be happy on their own. This might be why virgins were always saved in horror movies because they were not taking full advantage of their strength. Now that our society has matured from a child to teenager women are allowed to fight in the army and fight for their country. Before it wasn't allowed for women to fight in war. Some said they weren't strong enough and other said the men couldn't watch women being killed around them. All in all it is a major feet for our country. And now we even have a woman running for president. As silly as it may seem but horror movies helped women get to where they are now.
