Movies WALL·E Yet another Hollywood misrepresentation of romance

Yet another Hollywood misrepresentation of romance

Posted by wikitiki44

The female is represented as a perfect beautiful being with extreme power. The male has to beg, chase and then beg for her attention, cower in fear lest he be destroyed by her, and then come beg some more.

Let me clarify this for those who don't know: Women, even feminists, DO NOT respect this behavior. Other men DO NOT respect this kind of behavior.

It puts out the idea that women are somehow higher or more important than men, and gives young boys the idea that to get a woman they have to lower themselves and shower her with gifts and attention, without bothering to see if she has any qualities besides beauty, and without bothering to see if she has anything to offer him in return.

Almost every single movie does this, especially kid's movies. Remember what Aladdin had to go through to prove he's good enough for Jasmine? When was the last time you saw a kid's movie where the man acts like a man?

It's a sad state for humanity. It's a rare pleasure to see a movie, like the James Bond movies, that gets it right:

"Frankly my dear I don't give a damn." -- The guy from Gone with the wind

"But what is SHE doing to prove her love to YOU?" -- The star from Stardust

Women are more beautiful than men. Men do need to chase women. Men do need to shower women with gifts. Men do need to prove they're good enough to be their woman.

All of the above is true, so whats your point?
