Comments on: We’re familiar with a “man’s man”; what about a “woman’s woman”?

Malena. Haay… Malena is one of the most powerful movies I’ve ever seen. It’s just something that you remember for a long time. Monica proved that she’s not just another pretty face. I know what you mean, after watching The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, I looked for my DVD of Monica Belucci movies and watched Malena. I’ve watched it several times over the years. We just finished The Matrix Trilogy (again) recently. We’re going to watch Brothers Grimm next. I’ll see if I have L’appartement in the DVD. Thanks for the L’appartement tip!

Man’s man and woman’s woman. Maybe it invites confusion .

Singaporeans are very polite. They will not call an ill-repute woman as loose woman (as they aptly or inaptly call them) but will call them loose lady. Hah, lady…

I would say that there is a great difference with sexism and feminism. They’re different animals. Those PC fringe would like to make it appear that sexism is no different from feminism. They mask their rant as feminism.

Feminism is about women to be women – feminine. Sexism is about women are being discriminated and should be on equality with men (and we , men, is still wondering where they have been discriminated. In my circle of like minded friends, we worship women).

I think you can if you buy it from Amazon US (or from a local dealer in Manila?). It so happened I borrowed the DVD of “Malena” from the public library in our Swiss hometown. (It’s normal in Switzerland to have German and/or French sub-titles.)

I got to watch L’Appartement in its original language (French) with English sub-titles (thank God for that). Sana you get to see this one. I really liked the story and the way it was directed.
