b'Rape-revenge movies have a reputation as voyeuristic at best, or at worst, distorted fantasies made by men, for men. Emerald Fennell\\u2019s \\u201cPromising Young Woman\\u201d reimagines the genre by exploring what revenge and reparations would be sufficient to punish a rapist. We explore the societal and legal structures that fail rape survivors and how men respond when women don\\u2019t act the way they expect. \\n\\nContent warning: This episode deals with rape and trauma, so if that\\u2019s not something you want to listen to, check out one of our other episodes.\\n\\nCited: \\n\\nClover, Carol J.
