I am shocked and disgusted

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is pure junk. It is sexism at it's very worst. Cindy is sexually assaulted at the beach house. She tells the guy to get away several times. It is disgusting to assume that the daughter/stepdaughter enjoys sleeping with her father. All the men in this movie are hideously disgusting creatures, not worthy of any female attention. Every girl is naked in this movie except the mother, presumably because she is too old. The idea that these young girls would be having any kind of a good time is ridiculous. The director and writers clearly don't know anything about real psychological interaction. The only thing they are trying to do is get people sexually excited and it works, but this kind of excitement can happen without this unhealthy theme. This is absolutely not the way women would really behave given the situation. It just proves that a man wrote and directed it. I kept waiting for a point, and there wasn't one-Except to point out that the girls get punished in the end for their behavior, because of course, everything that happens to them is their fault. Where is the punishment for the father? Boy, you 70s girls sure had to put up with a lot. I'm glad there are some differences in the way women are treated now. I realize this is just a movie, but in order for it to be really good it should take some responsibility. I can't believe kids across the country saw this movie and probably assumed some of this was alright. Trashy, nasty, stupid, and frankly boring. My husband was bored to death, he wanted me to turn it off, but I insisted there would be some point and wanted to watch it. Don't waste your time.
