"The thought seems to be that because men allegedly abused women for centuries with impunity, a little fictional abuse now is nothing."

That bit of historical fiction is used as a rationalisation by some women so that they can subject men to abuse.

"This is the affirmation of Kate’s volatility as a marker of her liberation from female stereotypes."

The problem is if more women start acting like her, the situation is more likely to escalate out of control and more people of both genders will be killed and the majority of those being killed will be women.

"She barely glances at her husband and evinces no consciousness or remorse."

The problem is in real life there are women who are exactly like this, they exist.

That neatly summarises my own views on almost all such productions going back years if not decades now. Women are now encouraged by these means to emulate the behaviours that the feminists claim to have so despised in men in the past (and which was never the province of more than a few men), thus revealing that it was actually envy which inspired the feminists. As a result I long ago cut myself off from modern "culture", i.e., anti-culture. I don't watch TV or listen to the radio at all. I almost never watch a film (movie), whether on main release, Netflix or any other platform, unless I get a recommendation from someone whose judgment I trust. That happens maybe once or twice per year. Fortunately, we still have access to such a wealth of older, genuine culture that it hardly matters - except that communication with 95% of the public becomes impossible as their minds have been marinated in this pernicious garbage for so long.
