Is there a double standard for women sexual content in movies?

Ryan Gosling is speaking out against the MPAA's decision to give "Blue Valentine" an NC-17 rating due to a sex scene he does not believe to be illicit. "The MPAA is OK supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario,

which is both complicit and complex," he says. "It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film." On behalf of moviegoers everywhere who are tired of seeing more female nudity onscreen than male, we'd like to offer Ryan a high-five and a thank you.
