Wow..I'd have to agree with that.
Try this one on for size? A couple years ago, me and my wife were griping she would take me to all these dumb chick flicks, but would abosultely REFUSE to go see anything I wanted to watch. So finally one day, I'd had enough, and told her, there is no way in the world I'm going to see another p-0-r-n-0 for woman movie. (this was coupled by the fact that she was complaining that I hadn't been romantic enough) Think about it. Woman complain all the time that guys prefered media choice, saying stuff like it creates an unrealistic and unatainable skewed version of a woman. "Well baby", I told her, "Mr. Darcey is an unrealistic and unatainable skewed version of a man. No man is going to come grovelling back to you after you've screwed them, (think Hitch) nor are men walk in real life ever going to be as sweet and romantic as they are characterised in any chick flick ever. Guys click with what they see, woman click on what they feel. What is the difference?" (you can add and that is when the fight started)
The funny thing is, a couple months ago, she read some woman making the same argument in some article, and she (having no recollection of my discussion) was telling me all about it. And how it was brilliant. I just wanted to beat my head into the wall.
