Katherine Heigl says 'Knocked Up' was "a little sexist"

Um...I think bittertwee and I already covered this back when the movie first came out. Where were you Slate? HUH!? 'Knocked Up' was a fun movie, but upon repeat viewings, it turns into a very serious examination of what is wrong with so many relationships and the portrayal of relationships in the media today.

I also found this article interesting in light of the post/conversation I had with jellibean yesterday over some "Just Wait" abstinence commercials. The trend right now is the image that males are irresponsible so women should be super responsible so then women are labeled as nagging naggers that nag all the time but we've been told that if we don't men will just do whatever they want and leave us behind with babies.

Dunno, it's crazy stuff, and far too serious to think about around Christmas! Still...

Yeah--where are the commercials and ads with guys talking about waiting for the right person, not "giving it up" and, if they are, making sure to use substantial protection (news flash: condoms alone aren't highly effective--that is, 99 percent or so--contraception.)

Sexism is still alive and well and so many people, amazingly enough women, don't realize that just because they can get college education and good jobs doesn't mean it no longer exists.
