I admit that not long ago I saw the silly romantic comedy “He’s Just Not Into You.” That film could get me ranting for ages. First of all, the women are always referred to as girls. Second of all, they are portrayed as desperate; they are not happy unless they are in a relationship. They also act like they have to “trap” a man and convince him to be with them. They don’t “get” men and need to have men explained to them, while men apparently understand women just fine. Finally, marriage is considered the ultimate goal for all male-female relationships. One couple in the movie live together quite happily and they seem to recognize that a wedding is not necessary; but, no, it turns out the woman actually wants marriage. In the end, she gets her wedding.
What is wrong with living together? What is wrong with some people being single? Why are women seen as confused, needy girls who must have men in order to be fulfilled?
