Help! Bad Feminist Cooks?
Can you list movies (or TV) where you've seen a strong, assertive woman (she doesn't have to be identified as a feminist, although it helps) who is portrayed as being either an ambivalent, bad, or even hostile to cooking cook? What about a bad housekeeper? (As if to say you can't be a feminist and a good cook/housekeeper).
The best example I can think of is like Bette Midler's character is before-the-brain-flush in the newer Stepford Wives. I know I've seen tons of movies showing what would be called a "feminist" in a movie burning stuff in the kitchen, or faking it with takeout, or something similar. One or two names of movies would help. I need a memory jog, basically, and would appreciate any input you might have. (I'm making a claim in my dissertation about this)...
So far I have:
The Stepford Wives (1975 & 2004); Sex and the City (1998-2004); Always (1989); Roseanne (1988-1997); She-Devil (1989); Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991); The Abyss (1989); Bridget Jones’ Diary (2001); Passion Fish (1992); Dr. T and the Women (2000); Joe Millionaire (2003);
Put 'em in the comments.....
