Confronted by the gender disparity of sexual expression, MIKA takes a stand for herself and for love as she levels self-acceptance against his condemnations. Double standards are a bitch.

A Girl Named Wench

Recommended by

  • DC Cathro: A Girl Named Wench by Neal Alexander Lewis
    “

    A fascinating take on some pretty heavy subjects... Monogomy, rape, sex shaming, gender roles. Written in verse, it makes for an unexpected read but well worth the time. Relationships are explored and end and begin and end again. Really well executed and wonderfully full of potential for a good director to sink their teeth into.
