Liked the imagery and the creatures but would have preferred it without the casual sexism and sexual assault. I understand that it was set in a time where women were deemed less and their whole purpose and duty was marriage and children but it is annoying

Getting tired of the same themes - women getting violently raped and killed. I know it’s realistic and actually happens but non-female victims also exist
