I know more than a few that are making and advancing careers in the most macho of boys' clubs, the oil-and-gas industry ..... nothing wimpy about them.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952101708880633319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163970.post-72117650266901999302008-03-30T02:12:00.000-05:002008-03-30T02:12:00.000-05:00Love, love, love Bette Davis!The article was good....Love, love, love Bette Davis!<BR/><BR/>The article was good. I agree with the guys up there regarding womens' roles in movies nowadays. I also disagree with some of the columnist's views about american women wimping out; I have not known many wimpy women.<BR/><BR/>As for Hillary, I know she and Bill are refuted by many because of special interest groups, previous questionable scandalous issues, yada, yada...<BR/>But, I believe the number one reason Hillary is taking a lot of heat in the media at present, has nothing to do with her past mistakes, her present exagerations, or whether she is too teary or not teary enough. I believe men, and sadly, some women as well, are feeling awfully threatened by Hillary's strength and intelligence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163970.post-2773375276279111732008-03-28T14:02:00.000-05:002008-03-28T14:02:00.000-05:00I agree with Bill's observation re who movies are ...I agree with Bill's observation re who movies are made for today compared to the audiences of yesteryear. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure I agree with the columnist's view about American women wimping out. Most of the women I know are pretty strong with more men able to appreciate them.<BR/><BR/>There still are a lot of men and women who are threatened or jealous, I guess, by strong women. A year ago I wrote that this country would elect a man of any color before they would ever vote in a woman as president. I believe this is still true, H. Clinton, or whoever else.joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09999395062839739698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5163970.post-18880291636507439412008-03-27T15:08:00.000-05:002008-03-27T15:08:00.000-05:00In "real" life, I don't know whether women are les...In "real" life, I don't know whether women are less strong than they were 50 or 60 years ago or not. <BR/><BR/>However on the screen, I think that women appear less strong, and I think it has to do with the kinds of pictures being made and the audience for those pictures. <BR/><BR/>A huge proportion of today's movies are made with the adolescent male as the intended audience. I don't have statistics to back this up but I believe the movie audience 60 years ago was older and more mature. I suspect it also skewed higher on a "socio-economic" scale.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
