break free by ruby rose

A short film about gender roles and what it is like to have an identity that deviates from the status quo.

Cameron Esposito

"I was walking on stage not too long ago, and before I even hit the mic, this dude sitting in the front row just yells at me ‘you look like a woman who doesn’t sleep with men!’. He yelled that at me like as if I don’t know. He yelled that at me like it was going to be a surprise, and an insult. Here’s the thing: I look like a woman who doesn’t sleep with men because I am a lesbian… and that’s one of the biggest parts. This look, this is on purpose. To attract women."
