30. Spin the Bottle

It was nice to see that Katz finished off his video documentary Tough Guise with suggestions and hope. I think those suggestions were strong and tough (yes) ones, and were probably hard for some to accept and apply immediately to real life.

I thought he had to go further, that Tough Guise couldn't be his only effort, and that he should not be alone in "educating" people. So I made a quick research about his other works and found quite an interesting one (he had others as well of course), although not directly relevanto to gender: "Spin the Bottle: Sex, Lies & Alcohol". The more interesting part is that Jackson Katz and Jane Kilbourne worked together on this documentary! Forces in unison!

I watched the trailer and figured its relevance to the gender issue and to the advertisement problem. I could write until morning about drinking and how it effects boys and girls as I had the opportunity to observe them for millions of times, but not here.

For the interested parties, here's the link of the trailer.
