David Cronenberg in "Crash" as well as in his first sensation, "Videodrome, " subordinates and sacrifices the "obsolete" human being to the "purity" of modern technology, looking for death, decadence and disease as the method of evolutionary progress for the human race. Since women are customarily favorable to human culture and perpetuation, "Crash" renders woman characters as particularly sinister and grotesque. Misanthropy and misogyny are Cronenberg's themes, but not comparable to Jonathan Swift who parodied social order, not the human condition.
