I think that the past fifteen years--where women have gone to work and left the men--the baby boomers who are now in Hollywood and control a lot of the money are upset that the wives have gone or mommies gone off to work. There are all these scripts where the women, if they`re working, are prostitutes and lawyers with an angry streak who`ll kill you. It`s a reaction to women leaving their men and men being angry about it and saying it on some subconscious level.
