PROJECT: Cut It
Mark and Lisa have been married for a couple of years. Recently, Lisa discovered feminist literature and started to question from a feminist point of view the routine of their relationship, her partener’s habits, his use of language. Lisa is trying to digest the past trauma inflicted by her ex-husband. The more she reads the more she questions her current relationship. Mark is starting to find all this bothersome but loves her and would never tell her that. Sometimes she sees him solely as a representative of the male species, other times she relates to the man she fell in love with. Mark feels used, betrayed by her, he feels under observation like an insect in an insectarium. Lisa regrets that her newfound feminist quest is putting a strain on their relationship. On one hand she wants Mark to understand her, on the other she feels that she can’t trust any man anymore, including Mark.
