    “I’d just assume” unprompted is functionally the same as “I think”; nobody first asked you “well if you had to assume, what would’ve happened?” We’re all adults here; we all understand what words mean.

    And I used “provocative” because you’re directly implying a form of patriarchical censorship for inherently one of two reasons or some combination: the patriarchical system 1) thinks it’s too provocative or 2) thinks it’s too superfluous, and (2) isn’t per se patriarchy; reasonable minds can differ on whether the scene merited inclusion. I’m sure it wasn’t like that scene from The Room where they make a big deal out of Mark’s clean-shaven face; I’m sure the protein filaments growing out of Robbie’s armpits weren’t the nominal objective of the scene. Thus I assumed you were referring to the only one that’s strictly, inherently patriarchical for which there wouldn’t be a more plausible explanation.
