Oh, that\'s a fair point. I think I\'m probably looking too much at the character as written and not the syntax of the camera. Because thinking about it, Foxy Brown and Coffy both lack the mitigating camp element in the tone that Hill\'s later Switchblade Sisters has, and in that film there\'s a black feminist militia that\'s depicted both positively and without objectification. And in general the visuals and fight construction are much less skeevy than the Grier films can get, despite the presence of numerous exploitation tropes (the violence within oppressive spaces is framed with a camp comic element until an on-the-streets revolution against the local patriarchy, which is played cathartically straight). That\'s probably a useful comparison here.
