Did anyone else notice the seemingly anti-feminist tone of O & G?
It seemed to me that much of the story was based on a classic case
of husband chasing, culminated by a standing ovation from the other
women when the heroine finally "gets her man". Did anyone else notice
this, or am I just oversensitised to sexism by years of training from
my feminist friends & relatives?
P.S. to anyone who hasn't seen the film: Regardless of the above,
it's excellent and I heartily recommend that you see it.

Yes, Jim, O & G was somewhat offensive to my anti-sexist sensibilities, not to mention my anti-war and anti-military sensibilities. The saving grace is a subtle one: the heroine does have, and use, a mind of her own. Recall the brief scene between her and her mother in the factory. Burt
