Wow ... you suck at movie history. First, The Day the Earth Stood Still is based on a novel from a long time ago and you really missed the point of that one. The Day After Tomorrow was one you actually got right. Now, your "bestiality for kids"? You must be talking about Disney, since they are the closest, or Pixar, but both are just huge misses, since Pixar's only moral is to have fun with life and Disney just cannibalizes old fairy tales. The "Christians being insane" ... I am guessing you don't like history much at all, since every movie that shows the dark side of that religious following has been factually true to some level, except the DeVinci Code ... that was a stretch. Disney (which is a right wing christian owned and operated company) is responsible for much of the glorifying sex to children, and romantic comedies are trash that are produced evenly across the board (Ashton, the biggest scum in Hollywood, is a right wing christian BTW).
Enough of that part, I could go on forever with that. But your last point shows you also have seen very few action movies, since a lot are often not about "men being men" but are about *gasp* action and adventure! Many of which have very strong women role models who ... kick some serious ass. Good action movies break stereotypes, because there are a lot of strong women in the world, I am talking about physically strong. The only reason co-ed sports don't work is because women tend to put men to shy in them.
I recommend you watch more movies.
Methinks you went a bit far in your last paragraph. While there ARE exceptions which I don't believe anyone has claimed there aren't, women in general CAN'T keep up with men, and pound for pound, are nowhere near as strong.
That's not saying women do not have their strengths in areas that would make most men squeal. But it isn't in athletic endeavor. Part of the reason for that is women trying to play man's games, designed by men for men. Automatic disadvantage.
Ever notice how men's and women's gymnastics are not the same? Because each is designed to play to the strengths of the respective genders. It is one athletic endeavor where the playing field is actually level. At the same time, the exercises themselves are hardly comparable.
Men and women are different. Women seem to have a much harder time with this than men. We are supposed to compliment one another, not try to be better at being the other than they are.
All I know is, if' I've got a man breaking in my house (and for some insane reason I call the police rather than reach for my own guns), and a WOMAN shows up to rescue me...
We are not men. And I think it's INSANE that women try to be men.
A female police officer? A firearm is a GREAT equalizer and has nothing to do with physical prowess beyond the ability to aim and fire.
