Women's blood/Men's blood

While women's blood suggests some representation fertility, Meyer suggests that men's is tied to the hunt. Women's blood "of life" and men's "of death" are in constant tension with one another, often seen in religious sacrificial rites to goddesses, and often toward the end goal of fertility.

Here, I could discuss years of war/cowboy/hero films, watching men spill their blood for a cause vs. the amazing amount of gore/pulp/exploitation films dedicated to fair maidens being shred apart a masked man. I've been struggling with how to fairly analyze the film world's portrayal of "blood sexism," but have found it highly difficult without a background in feminist analysis. Suffice it to say that film isn't the only place there is a strange imbalance of bloodshed.
