It occurred to me that the movie Groundhog Day is seriously screwed up with the way it treats women (granted, it’s an old-ish movie so that could be why, I suppose…)
The protagonist is stuck in an endless loop and to escape it, he must bed this woman.
The woman isn’t even allowed to have a will of her own, to decide for herself if she wants this man or not, she absolutely has to get with him if the day is to stop looping continuously. Well, she does fall for him, but the fact the plot requires her to for it to be resolved really irks me.
Instead of being treated like a human being who can do what the hell she wants, she’s an obstacle for the protagonist to overcome so that he can escape a bad situation.
Ugh. What a shitty plot.
