BriefExplanation

We open on a title card: “78 percent of all elected officials in the U.S. are men. The following is based on one of their opinions.”

We cut to a woman sitting in a doctor’s examination room, wearing a hospital gown. A male doctor enters and tells her she wasn’t raped. When she presses him, insisting she was, he tells her she couldn’t have been, because if it’s a “legitimate rape,” the female body can’t get pregnant, and she’s pregnant. The woman is shocked to find out she’s pregnant. The doctor congratulates her and leaves.

We cut to a real politician’s quote, which is quoted verbatim in the film, then conclude with a sobering reminder: Politicians have the power to turn their opinions into reality, and if you don’t run for office or vote, people like him could end up writing the rules.

EntrySummary

In the United States, women make up 51 percent of the population but only hold 22 percent of elected positions.
