 It would be nice to see a short section critiquing this fFilm fFrom the fFeminist perspective.  While I enjoyed the movie a lot, I was surprised to learn fFeminist fFilm theorists have a lot of problems with this movie.  Specifically, because O'Neil is only able to become an equal when she stops acting like a woman.  Essentially, the movie is saying women can never get ahead, but if a woman becomes a man, then she may rise to an equal status.  She stop having periods.  She is embraced as an equal  even a champion  by her peers when she shouts the infamous ""Suck my dick"" line.  And the single greatest blow to her is when she is revealed not just to be a woman, but a potential Lesbian, which introduces homophobia and other perils.  Interesting points, since I rather expected this movie would be praised by fFeminists.  "
