Reverse Sexism?

You prove in your post men only lust not love when you type "I mean, the new & improved bodies, ok,". If men could love they would not want "new" and "improved" body. They would love women as they are naturally. Men have been threatening that women are going to get replaced by robots. Its not sexiest to tell the truth.

I haven't seen this movie in years, but I remember being very confused about it. I'm not really sure if it was a feminist movie or making fun of feminist. If it's making fun of feminism, then the reverse sexism was probably done on purpose to make fun of feminist's paranoia about men being so sexist, they'd rather have robots than real wives if it meant being waited on hand and foot.

I've never thought of it that way, interesting way to think of this so I guess I can see how some say that. I wasn't even born when this movie came out so I don't know what the world was like back then. But looking at family photos from this time period I've always seen what seemed more like 80s yuppies at least where my family lived that it how it was then.

Looking at tv shows from this time such as One Day At A time wasn't it a time when women were more wanting to leave the house and go to work? My guess is many men wanted a woman like their mother which would have been back in the 50s. They wanted the woman to stay home so I guess that is where the whole concept of this story came from.

I also know many men who don't want a woman who is home all the time keeping the house. My friend's husband actually complains saying he wants to come home and be able to toss his stuff where ever he wants and not have to search for it. He also rather eat out than eat home-cooked means all the time. So I know there are many men out there who would not want a Stepford wife.

Honestly, I'm sure many think I'm nuts but I wouldn't mind being a Stepford wife, now I don't want to be a robot, lol but I would like to be able to run a smooth, clean household without fuss or mess from anyone, I'd like to look pretty all the time and healthy. I'd love to be a perfect homemaker. I'm more old fashioned that way and always been like this. But, no one is perfect. As the movie teaches it would take a robot to live like that.

Being a feminist doesn't mean hating men, or stereotyping them right back.

Saw it again last night, after many years, and I'd forgotten about the Disney thing! Yes, one of the engineers of the Stepford wives had been one of Disney's "imagineers", and even in 1975, the word "Disney" implied everything fake and shallow in the world.

Anyway, IMHO the film is only about sexism on the surface, on a deeper level it's about giving into your worst and most selfish impulses. Which the men do in this movie, and which they will obviously regret. If there were a sequel, it'd be about all these men having affairs with real human women, and wondering why their kids were growing up completely neurotic, because a robot that does what you think you want is no substitute for a human interaction, or the give-and-take of a real relationship. All the men are really gaining is loneliness.
