Films portrayal of the femme fatale as a precursor to lesbianism or a disliking of one’s own sex…

Kay's Commentary: Neurolinguistic Programming, a case of helping or hurting…updated

…especially if attachments are already weak or disordered.   When I wrote this I completely neglected this aspect of it’s influence only because I had no clear recollection of having seen it personally, but did recognize parts of the film that were employed in later films I did see.

One who would be naturally drawn to the woman in green might unconsciously desire to sherk (Shrek) her in the mind by projecting or dissociating that part of the self onto another.    Then she might be drawn to Watson or Holmes himself as he has been made the “savior” in the film.   With no other female in the film to counter the woman in green’s dastardliness and apparent self loathing at the end of the film, young women are left in conflict, trapped so to speak.  Of course this was remedied in later films as women began to complain and speak out about such personifications.
