The most common stereotype about feminists is that they hate all men. The second most common stereotype is that they believe all women would be better off without men. This movie promotes both of these stereotypes. Movies like Divine Secrets of the YA-YA Sisterhood often make me wonder whether or not I should support feminists or condemn them as political extremists.
The only male character in this film is a weak pathetic fool who is bossed around by his arrogant and self-absorbed wife. Clearly, the writers were trying to show that women can "dominate" their husbands - just like us tyrannical, violent males have been doing for centuries. Wow, that's quite a step forward for women everywhere!
What is so ironic is that the people who made this movie were trying so desperately to promote the idea of female independence and sisterhood, and instead ended up making both those ideas look absurd. There is not a single moment of this film that feels even remotely real. This film makes "Enough" look like a plausible story of "female empowerment".
