Okay, glad it's not just me with my Feminism glasses on.
Rewatching, and aside from the whole rape recovery narrative, I just noticed that Aurora's room in the castle has wallpaper that imitates the Moors, eg. domesticated femininity. Also, the whole "the Moors have no king or queen" but Maleficent as the strong protector vs. the conventional patriarchy of the human kingdom... Just, dude, SO MANY FEELS!
