Anti-feminist claptrap!!


Was this movie written in the early 1960s or something?

Hmmm. How about all the 80s movies that suggested women could be "more" than "just" mommies? The message throughout the whole movie was that life was about balance, not just pouring yourself into one facet of life and also that when it comes down to it, family is it.

^ This.

In the beginning of the movie, it was obvious that work dominated her life and that spilled over into how blase she was about time w/her sister and then her coworkers' lives.

Gus:I have never been so motivated to make money
Hardison: Yeah, if Godzilla's a gecko

I agree. This was such a stupid movie. Not everyone wants a husband and kids. This was just conservative propaganda that wants women to stay at home. Awful.

Y'all are looking way too much into this. It's about balance, not anti-feminism. Some women, like me for instance, love the idea of having a husband and beautiful children, staying at home taking care of them. Not that I wouldn't love being a successful business woman (though business doesn't really interest me, but another field would be nice). The point was for her to see that she was basically married to her job and it was keeping her from being truly happy. Some people really are happy that way, and that's fine for them; but family is important too. That's what it was about, not anti-feminism.

Nope, it is the post feminist new woman is not complete without a man, child and house school of thought. The more children, the better.

Unfortunately the movies of the 80's still had the basis a woman had to try to have it all. Now unless she gives up everything she has worked for her entire life, she is not complete.

I think there was a sum total of 1 film with Nicholas Cage with that premise and it flopped.
