"Chick Flicks" that reward misogynists with smart, caring, capable women in the end because the men have "changed." These portrayals help to perpetuate dysfunctional relationships and abusive treatment of women. They make every man seem redeemable and keep women from taking action in their situations because they come to believe that, if they suffer long enough, he will see the light, and they will live happily ever after.
Also highlighted in
this movie: sex-crazed women willing to ignore a man's reputation for mistreating partners in pursuit of a good lay. Priceless.
I also hate being the only one in the room who is outraged.
you know it.
