“but come on! all this nonsense is causing women to rebel against men (how funny that sounds!)” Please elaborate what you mean. Stripping a human being of their human rights based on their “gender,” is certainly a “rebellion” against nature itself. Yet, it is done. I do not believe it was the women who started this “rebellion,” you speak of.

“Everything seems to revolve only at Alice and not the actual environment she is in”

Ever heard of the bechdel test? A system that proves movies tend to focus strictly upon the male-perspective. Looks like you’re suffering the bruises of doing something backwards for a change. lol

I guess my whole point here is… I thought the movie was GREAT! There’s no battle of the sexes going on… just people living their thoughts and ideas… why engender them? Unless your ideals is that women should be “soft, squishy, and air-head.” Uninteresting enough to focus more on the “environment” whilst other movies focus more on the “heroes” etc? Weird.

I don’t believe the “feminist business” is something invented by the media (it is a legit, scholarly matter.) I just think you can’t see the double-standards from your “comfy” perspective. :D
