Girls who like violent movies=unfeminine?

Kalsedony · 10-13-2002, 12:02 AM

Is it wrong for a girl to like anything that isn't a chick flick? Does a female act unnaturally, if she'd prefer to watch ninety minutes of car chases/explosions/people shooting each other as oppose to ninety minutes of a guy and girl exchanging corny lines and kissing? And just why do guys act shocked and doubtful if a girl shows enthusiasm for an action/suspense/etc movie?

I like girls who like Fight Club more than girls who like Practical Magic.

god, thats ridiculous. who liked practical magic? or ya ya sisterhood? no one i know, besides my 70 year old grandmother. if any boy thinks a girl is weird for that reason should fuck off and move to the middle east where they opress their women openly.

I wouldn't act shocked. I'd put my penis in her mouth.

Yes, but Practical Magic didn't even follow the damn book. It was shitty new incarnation of the author's original idea.

Just because you like violent movies dos not make you unfeminine.

Shit, if not following stereotypes is a criteria for not being feminine, then i'm most definitely just a tiny little homosexual man. I break just about every stereotype in dress, manner and action. I don't like unnecessarily violent movies, though. it must have a purpose in furthering the plot. anyway, i'm not unhappy being unfeminine. it weeds out the superfical people that are attracted to appearances only so that i don't have to deal with them when their perosnality flaws appear later. And I have been told on several occasions by different individuals that i actually AM feminine in action and I am, most definitely, sexy

that is what counts.

YES. Who doesn't like a girl that'll go to a football game and have a beer while wearing jeans and a baseball cap? That' fuckin' hot, and if it bothers your masculinity then you have a petty ego and i'm not wasting time on you.

Chick flicks are always low quality cinematic turds. Girls who don't like them can usually recognize quality. That's all I'm saying.

Girls that like beer are also very cool.

I have been told by a disturbingly large amount of females (never guys) that Ya Ya Sisterhood was amazing.

yeah but you're forgetting to take into account that women sometimes like to live vicariously through movies like that. Sometimes women get wrapped up in lives that don't involve living romantically and movies like that provide an outlet for it.

but we also must recognize the idea that men who don't like cheap action flicks like Blade II may also be able to recognize good cinema. a bad movie is a bad movie, regardless of how vicariously you like to live through it.

Ack, look at me, I like violent movies.. computer games and I stealth tape concerts.. I am starting to wonder about myself!

Women have told you Ya Ya Sisterhood was amazing because as females growing up in America, they are socialized to believe that their lives ought to be a certain way, i.e., they ought to fit the classical model of femininity. Thus, when their lives turn out closer to reality than they'd like, they turn to escapist trash like that movie (or, as my girlfriend reports, the even more inferior book).

Women who don't enjoy things like that are cognizant of the fact that really, there's no set idea of masculinity and femininity; every person constructs their own reality and thus their own ideas of such abstract concepts. So a woman who goes to a football game in blue jeans wearing bear can be, in theory, just as feminine as the sorority girl who spends that same Friday night dressed to kill at a frat party piss drunk--they are not acting "unnaturally" at all, because many of the things that we think about as being naturally feminine and masculine are, in fact, simply social constructs.

I've never even heard anything about it, plot-wise, aside from the "female bonding" and chick-flick shit...
