This sometimes causes problems. When Treut worked for three months as a guest lecturer at Hollins College in Virginia in 1995, the neighborhood organized a protest against her, claiming her teaching would seduce the women at the university, and demanded that she leave. "They were saying, `Protect our community,' and, `It's not right to do what's wrong," Treut recalled. Back in 1985, when Seduction: The Cruel Woman was screened at the Toronto Film Festival, the Canadian Board of Censorship banned it, provoking a wide discussion on ending censorship in the country. The Canadian Board of Censorship was later disbanded.
"I don't know why I always seem to lead the trend," Treut said.
