Can we say "Irony," boys & girls?
Back in the ancient (pre-1960s) days of the movies, both male and female stars commanded the box office and made movies that appealed to both genders. This - at a time when women's role in the greater society was largely subordinate to men's.
Now...when women have achieved some semblance of equality with men in most aspects of society, male stars almost completely rule the box office, while actresses are presumed suitable only for "chick flicks," or for decorating the scenery of male-dominated films.
We came a long way, "babies," for THIS???
Bette, Joan and Marilyn must be turning in their graves!
