Or, alright,somewomen want it more and they are usually either bad, bad news or crazy or much older women pursuing much younger men (a woman in her 40s is allowed to be attracted to a man in his 20s provided she looks 10 years younger than she is and it's played for laughs). Generallythough, films will feature men desperately trying to sleep with women who are uninterested at best.

This is so far from an accurate reflection of reality that it's bordering on self-parody at this point. Sure, maybe in the good (bad) old days, women were expected to steer clear of sex until marriage and even then only do it because their husbands wanted to.

But female sexual desire is finally losing its stigma, so why are films still acting as though male sex drives are always higher? Is every filmmaker's fantasy and/or reality sleeping with reluctant women? That's kind of messed up, guys.
