Hey guys. I’m going to take a break from the usual Hollywood dish and tales of female disenfranchisement — it’s been fun, at least for me — to talk about something really serious. In fact, I’ve probably seen more otherwise healthy relationships go down in flames for the following reason than any other.
The Other ManI’ll just say it: the most misogynist film of the last 20 years has to be Wayne’s World. Way! If you leave out the movies that are purposefully trying to be demeaning to women, Wayne takes the cake. I’ll explain why and give you a few more of my picks after the jump.

It was funny, it was delightfully naughty, and it exposed the blog editor’s porn collection on film for the first time. ...
Bravo, Southwest. Congratulations for once again flashing your Teflon-like ability to deflect criticism of your insensitive policies. By now, most of you have heard about Kevin Smith’s encounter with Southwest’s decades-old “Customer of Size” policy, which requires oversized people to pay for a second ticket.
