Watching Indiana Jones right now, and Marians comments like "I was just a child" and Jones' falling out with her father seem to indicate that Jones fondled a child in the story. Which... uh. What the hell? It's not even like a big part of the plot, it's just thrown in
Alien and Aliens I think do.
I noticed John Carpenter movies pretty much don’t have women characters.
I think Carpenter can't write women well, so he just... doesn't.
Sometimes that's good - like part of the appeal of The Thing is that it avoids so many horror tropes (not about teens, no sex to punish people for, etc.), plus you get to have fun arguments about the meaning of The Thing as a metaphor for female presence breaking down a male circle. I tend to think those arguments are navel gazing, and that it's much more about the general breakdown of societal trust, but I've seen the argument.
Good call on alien, that did have specific feminist influence on the writing process

I am thinking of an interview where they said one of the ideas they wanted was tk make a movie where men could legitimately feel thr fears of rape and pregnancy. That's a crazy move for the time as well though. I hadn't known that one
