Sexism and oppression wear many guises in “#Female Pleasure,” Barbara Miller’s illuminating if one-sided overview of the myriad ways in which women’s sexuality is controlled and subjugated.

Profiling five women fighting back against repressive cultural and religious traditions, the film allows each to explain her embrace of activism. The Jewish author Deborah Feldman, who fled what she describes as crushing treatment in her Hasidic community in Brooklyn, now writes and lectures about her experiences. An inventive sex educator in India runs a website to advise young people about healthy relationships. And in Japan, the high-spirited manga artist Rokudenashiko challenges lopsided obscenity laws by fashioning art using molds and 3-D scans of her genitals.
