An awful representation of women.

Whilst you may view it as a horrible portrayal of women, it's a very accurate portrayal of the Borderline mind.

Which school of feminism did you have in mind? Different branches start off from differing positions. They all share a conception that society is one in which men dominate women, but they each explore it in different ways and it's unlikely that one film will satisfy all of them. Similarly, a movie described as 'socialist' is not going to satisfy authoritarians and anarchists alike, even though they both fall under that same 's' shaped umbrella. Authoritarian socialists and anarchist socialists, for the most part, detest each other even more than they detest capitalism.

Let's take an anarcha-feminist interpretation of the movie. Presumably we would start from a position that the relationship between men and women is defined by coercive hierarchy without free association. Dan's crude attempt to 'free association' is a one night stand which doesn't end so good. Most of the film presents Alex's attempts to define their relationship along fairly male terms - coercion, intimidation, and, by the end, violence. This ends disastrously and is shown to be quite unsuccessful. The film is fairly explicit in showing that relationships defined by coercion and violence are disastrous, whether men or women hold the monopoly on violence. There's a fair amount then, which, even though it isn't explored in any real depth, supports the anarchist position and, by extension, anarcho-feminism. Now, were one to look at it through a Marxist-feminist perspective I suspect you'd have less luck. Yes class is present in the film, yes the world in which the film is set is materialistic, but the conflict in the just film doesn't seem to be about class. The film just doesn't lend itself as well to that kind of feminism.

In summary, I think there are types of feminism that gel well with the film. But I don't know which type you had in mind?
