Hollywood's 5 Saddest Attempts at Feminism
Hollywood has a dilemma. Its blockbusters are all written by men, but to make the real money, they have to sell some tickets to females, too. What to do? Let a woman write a blockbuster? Ha! Of course not. Just insert a feisty woman into the story who won't take any crap from men in a really formulaic way! That should please the feminists, right?

Well, when you look at the results, you see they probably shouldn't have bothered.

1. Why wasn't "The world according to Garp" on this list?

Damn that was a depressing movie. Every important character dies.
