Women and movies. War against men.

[Wise Old Man]

I love Madmen. Everyone is so sleazy and cut throat, just like in real life.

[Mott the Hoople]

Most women seem to like to watch shows about misery and suffering. Hence Lifetime and the womens channel.

So do men. How else could you explain Cub fans?

Not all women, but I think that over 50% which is most.

The soaps, etc.

Of course right winger men seem to love misery and suffering too, they like Rush and such

The Bridges Of Madison County. “The brief, illicit love affair between an Iowa housewife and a post-middle-age free-lance photographer is chronicled in this powerful romance based on the best-selling novella by Robert James Waller.”(Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep.)

The titanic. The characters are Jack and Rose and Cal. Jack and Rose are engaged, however, Rose and Cal end up making love inside a car in the ship's cargo hold. (Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Billy Zane.)

The first one deals with a cheating housewife and the second, well, if anyone is familiar with the cargo hold of a ship it’s not exactly a romantic settling. Both movies have been considered beautiful love stories, at least by the female persuasion.

Now let’s imagine a story about a married, male office manager and his secretary. He phones home to tell his wife he’ll be working late. The camera switches to the wife in the kitchen preparing dinner and pans the clock on the wall. The scene fades and then returns to show the wife eating alone at the kitchen table and the clock shows an hour has passed. Then the camera switches to the man and his secretary in the back of the warehouse banging away on some crates.

I doubt that movie would receive rave reviews. So, my question is, “Why do stories depicting cheating women get applause when stories of cheating men are scorned?” Is there a war against men?

I don't know about that. If you have a young man who was being pushed by his family to marry a bitchy woman for her money, and he had not slept with her, and then he meets someone special and has a rendezvous, I could see people saying it was romantic.

The area in which men are held to different standards is when they date younger women. A 40+ year old woman banging a young guy is a cougar. A 40+ year old man banging a young woman is a pervert.

Exactly! Different standards to be sure.

It's time us men fought for sexual equality!
