Judith knows how to take care of herself. She's also a man-hating, castrating bi*ch. She has a right to be that kind of person if she wants, but people who have the bad luck to encounter her also have the right to avoid her or oppose her.
Silverman was weak, immature, naive and inexperienced and made to order as prey for a predator like Judith. His friends saw what he didn't and were right to try to "save" him from her. As far as I'm concerned, this showed them as true friends, and real men. They were loyal and had his back and put themselves on the line to help him. His first girlfriend was a decent person. She was right for him and loved him, although it became obvious she was too good for him.
The message and sensibility of this movie is realistic and male oriented. That doesn't make it misogynistic, although feminists want to attack any realistic portrayal of women's faults and flaws as such, even if it's true. (I wonder what they have to say about the Lifetime Network!).
Sorry, but there are women out there who are every bit as hateful and vicious as any abusive, bullying male. An important part of a man's education is to learn how to recognize bad women, and how to handle them.
Sadly, and tragically, the tradition of boys learning how to become men is dying from our culture. Millions of boys are being raised by single mothers, and the media and culture is becoming dominated by the female sensibility and point of view.
Silverman is obviously a product of this environment. His friends, thankfully, are not.
