Misogyny becomes a 'Romantic comedy'

This was also a time when women were told to strive to be thin and beautiful, demure, obedient wives and virginal daughters. They were told they couldn't enjoy sex, but must offer themselves to their husband's pleasure. It was a fairly miserable and confusing time for women. In fact, centuries later women still haven't recovered completely from that era.

Suffragettes had to work their butts off just to be able to work and vote. The rise of feminism hasn't changed the fact that most men will screw anyone (guilt free!), but only marry a "Respectable" (otherwise likely 'innocent' virginal) woman, and that woman are trapped in that "lady in the street-freak in bed" syndrome.

Now movies and plays are being written in a way that women somehow benefited from the Victorian Era. If anyone benefited, it was men.

Women are still conflicted and guilt-ridden keeping count of lovers and boyfriends trying to remain innocent and maintain their reputations, like bargaining their bodies will make them more marketable for a husband. It's pathetic.

The fact that this is a romantic comedy makes me feel frustrated. This satire used to be the source of guilt and depression for so many woman.

I'm glad hysteria has been discredited.
