The 70's were such a shitty, exploitative time for women in films, I doubt anyone even batted an eye during that scene because it was just more of the same. I find the whole movie to be a depressing, uncomfortable mess tbh.

Eh. I think mannnyyyy people never saw those scenes. I think the PG-13 edit is probably way more popular than the uncut one.

I think this must have been the one I saw as a kid on tv, as I don't remember any such scene.

I'm pretty sure the movie is supposed to be a depressing, uncomfortable mess - set to a fantastic soundtrack.

Thank you. It is drama, not comedy (which the other commenters here seem to think).

In my interpretation it's about the discordance between the noisy, glossy life one's supposed to have according to trends and real peoples' need of intimacy, respect and to be seen as themselves, not as objects or weighted against a trend's superficial values. That discussion is still valid today.

Our values will be harshly viewed by later generations too, for good reasons.

Agreed. Take "Diamonds are Forever" in 1971 where a woman gets choked by her bikini top strap or "Grease" where Sandy gets nearly raped by Danny at the drive-in.
