I rather shamefully admit to watching What Women Want starring Mel Gibson (pre meltdown). Gibson plays a sexist bachelor who magically starts hearing women’s thoughts—by the end of the movie he does a 180 and is sensitive and all that. I guess I kept watching because I am taking a women’s studies class, so I enjoyed analyzing the movie in light of what I’ve learned.
One theory is that men are all for women empowerment but squirm at the thought of giving up power in order to make it happen—so, when Gibson admits to stealing his love interest’s ideas at work in addition to his declaration of love and she fires him, it really primed that theory for me.
