But instead she uses it to snare men. She doesn't kill her male quarry. Nothing as simple as that. Her character emasculates four bridegrooms by jilting them at the altar. Richard Gere, the hero, forces a traditional happy heterosexual ending that is about as logical as Richard Gere marrying Thelma and Louise. . . . .
Female chauvinism thrives on television, too.
When a rich man in his 70s gets out of the bed of a beautiful young blonde, the camera focuses mercilessly on his lumpy, sagging bare bottom which the bunny observes with disgust and repulsion. Such meanness does not go undetected by men. The National Organization for Men argues that misandrists always focus on men as violent and abusive, and this is having deleterious effects on a man's sense of self. As we debate the ethics of choosing the sex of a child in a brave new world, we might contemplate the disaster if far more girl babies are born, creating a gender gap that would ruin thousands and thousands of Valentine Days. A chauvinist sow is no better than a chauvinist boar, after all.
