A Perfect Creation
Ever watched the Stepford Wives? Interesting thought....men who feel inferior to women so they turn them into robots. These robots are the perfect creation...they clean and cook and obey and are atm's oh and lets not forget they all have perfect bodies. What a classic, in your face way of life that only benefit men. Honestly....how does anyone other then men gain anything from this? They don't. Women are shown in this movie to be below women instead of in positions of power however that's where they were before they became robots. It makes me wonder if this is actually how men feel about their wives if they are more successful than them. Why must we have a continuous power struggle of the sexes? Women gained power when we were allowed to do something as own land or vote or become equal in the eyes of the law or did we? Women constantly fight to get ahead or are discriminated against because we lack certain body parts. I love the end of the movie when it is revealed that the master mind man behind Stepford Wives was a robot created by his wife! He was a robot! Talk about a power struggle twist! However it was more than interesting that Joanna appeared betrayed by this woman. As women we are suppose to stick together but instead a man was given the position of power by a women's choice not his. This one women silently controlled everything, she enjoyed allowing the man to have power, hmmm.....what a challenge to the society of women! But this is none the less still a power struggle. In the bigger picture of things, it is neither men nor women who define what each one should be. It is both of them, all of them. It is just a struggle between definitions, a struggle to see how many people choose one side. Not a struggle between men or women.
