Here's how the Toronto Star rates movies...

In an article entitled "Women are going backwards", the Toronto Star looks at women in film today.

Bewitched and The Honeymooners are both based on two of the most sexist TV shows ever. In Bewitched, the wife is ordered by her self-important husband not to use her natural abilities as a supernatural witch. In The Honeymooners, the wife is threatened to be knocked "to the moon" by her pugnacious spouse. (The movie versions downplay the mental abuse, but old memories die hard.)

Batman Begins has Katie Holmes as Christian Bales' supposed love interest, but she's barely there and the sparks generated wouldn't ignite a puddle of gasoline.

Cinderella Man, as good as it is, is concerned with the struggle by Russell Crowe's boxer character to find personal fulfilment, not with the hopes and fears of his loyal wife, Renée Zellweger.

First off, the Honeymooners reflected the values of its time, and Ralph Kramden never hit his wife....and it was evident that there was still a great deal of love in the relationship.

Secondly, do you think the Toronto Star ever looks at male role models? I doubt it...but look at this quote:

"Women are stereotyped based on what men think of us," said Stephanie Stonley, 24, a Toronto accountant.

Well, now we know......
