Calle, Iain, anyone who known to be not Avon-biased? Please answer the following: Did Meeghat, in her circumstances, do the right thing by her standards by letting Avon in and persuading him to launch the rocket? Did Avon 'take everything away from her', or did they form a mutually beneficial arrangement, in which he took care of a task for her and she offered shelter to him and his companions?
Loaded questions in both cases. Meegat did not persuade Avon to do anything, she didn't even ask. He went ahead and launched the rocket without asking *her* if that was what she wanted. What we get is a man (three men, as it happens) finding a load of technology sitting idle and switching it on without stopping to ask themselves why.
What this might say about virginal and presumably fertile young women presumably depends on your inclination to perceive ideological representations codified within the debatable existence of the subtext.
Still, Deliverance is a better title than Gang-Bang
