Wanda: I liked you better as a chauvinist pig, husband of mine. Your argument has only one minor flaw, Ralph: it's totally wrong. There is no clitoral party line, though easily threatened males may think so. The clitoris ! is the normal center of women's sexuality, and it is not our fault that it happens to be located in a spot that men find inconvenient. I bet that the article in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy is just more woolgathering about the G spot...

...probably still wondering if Jack finally found a way to redeem himself in The Best of Times. But her team is full of genuinely funny fellows, Hawn herself is full of spunky charm, and Director Ritchie has a light and wayward comic touch, so even a hopeless male chauvinist can have a good, instructive time at Wildcats. If there are such things as necessary fairy tales, these movies cheerfully provide them...

Trapped by the constraints of a poorly fleshed out character, Harris, as Cline's husband Charlie Dick, could possibly fare even worse than does Lange in the execution of his role. Beer-guzzling, knee-slapping chauvinist Charlie would not appear to have much cult potential among today's hypersensitive post-Rambo moviegoing audiences.

The small town is populated with a familiar cast of bar sleazes, unemployed drunks, old women watching from their front porches, and male chauvinist breadwinners who insist that a woman's place is in the home. The mine crew, affectionately referred to as "pit-rats", sit around cracking obscene jokes and generally giving June a hard time for doing "a man's work." While sexism is a given condition of the hard lifestyle that June assumes, it is repeatedly a one-sided charge...

...argues a gentleman who is traveling with a box containing a large chiming clock. "So you're stuck belly to belly with a stranger. At least you're with the nicest commuters." He does not mean nicer than Chicago commuters, or even Connecticut commuters. He is a branch-line chauvinist, and he means nicer than the commuters on the Oyster Bay line or the Ronkonkoma line...
