 Feminist Allies: I Oppress Women.
I didn't mean "there are some individual men who oppress women." I meant that all men, in being men, oppress women.
Thing is, though, by living in a sexist society men do things every day that oppress women -- sometimes things that can't be avoided even if we are aware of them.
The blame here is not mine unless I played up my maleness in the interview or something, but because my privilege caused me to gain to the detriment of the female candidate I am in a way taking her job opportunity away from her without ever meeting her.

 Slant Magazine - Mel Gibson's Punch Drunk Christ
Luis Buñuel's Nazarín similarly wears its director's spiritual baggage, but it's also a daring, humanist study of the very masochism that remains unaddressed in Gibson's film (not to mention, how it continues to eat away at the Catholic church).
