Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Contrary to what one might expect from the title of this 1996 movie, Female Perversions is a slow-paced psychological drama about emotional insecurity and similar issues. The movie is prologued by the words of the page quote above, but very little of the story is about sexuality in a narrow sense of the word.The main characters are two sisters at the edge of professional success. The attorney Eve has a shot at becoming a Judge, and her sister is about to get her PhD.All that stands in their way is patriarchal oppression, but not in the form of misogynist enemies trying to bring them down. No, the oppression comes from within, in the form of self-hatred and all the ways in which one can ruin one's own life. Or at least that's one way of looking at it: The story is complex and subtle, there are many ways in which it can be interpreted.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Brains and Bondage: Eve is a very smart person and it's implied that this is why she uses kinky fantasies to handle her insecurities.

Bondage Is Bad: Used as a symbol, not of Eve being a bad person but of her having a lot of baggage.

Entitled to Have You: Debated in the film, a debate played for horror: A particularly creepy woman is holding a little lecture about how a woman "must" be an empty canvas for men to project their desire on. Her niece's (slightly delayed) response is to start cutting herself — carving the word "love" into her own flesh and explaining that she meant to write "hate". Maybe she didn't know the difference anymore?

Fan Disservice: An acquaintance of Eve is trying a bit too hard to be Stripperiffic while holding a very creepy lecture about what it means to be a woman.
