Molly Haskell and Marjorie Rosen pioneered several theories that overall became known as Reflection Theory. This theory states that the way a woman is treated in a film reflects how the public still treats women. This opinion is voiced in many feminist works and holds evidence as women still usually fill the sexual type role. In addition, ethnic women also face problems in the likes of stereotypes as several stereotypes categorize ethnic women and lock them into specific roles. Haskell even takes this a step further. She claims that violence towards women in film represents society's reaction towards feminism. Reflection theory can certainly be proven just as Haskell and Rosen did since many women roles feature only minor characters without development and mostly sex scenes.
