I'll admit I don't know much about women, but what I do know is they're often misrepresented in movies.
So let's go through all the ways that happens so we don't make those mistakes again.
I'll admit I don't know much about women, but what I do know is they're often misrepresented in movies.
So let's go through all the ways that happens so we don't make those mistakes again.
There's no possible way that any woman could be a tough, no-nonsense kind of gal unless she was taught to be that way by boys.
It's just the law of movies.
Yes, I understand if you're being flirty you may want to eat a strawberry/popsicle/corndog/burrito sensually.
But when they're just eating, women can be far from sensual. Especially if they haven't eaten all day.
You know who the biggest offender of this trope is, but usually, in movies the moment a woman sees a man they fall in love.
Frozen tried to lampoon this trope, only to have the character fall in love with someone she met days earlier.
After "doing the deed" a lot of women in movies will wrap the bedsheet around their body.
This is probably so the actress doesn't have to show any skin, but when does this happen in real life? What's the point?
There's an old trope in movies where a masked person (usually someone on a motorcycle) will come around and do a bunch of cool stuff.
Who could this man be? Well, surprise! She takes off her mask and it's a woman!
Do moviemakers think that women are dumb? "We better link arms guys, if we don't then one of us might wander off and get lost".
I don't think I've ever seen this happen in real life.
You all know this trope, mostly because Scream and Scary Movie parodied it before.
A woman is running away from a killer and she trips and falls about a million times.
Or, sometimes, they'll look radiant right after waking up. I hate to admit it gentlemen, but women tend to look as bad as we do in the mornings.
Hair all askew and drool coming down their faces.
Apparently, this is false.
Sure, I've seen women take T-Shirts before, but they don't wear button-ups to bed for the same reason that we don't: they're uncomfortable.
God, that would be brutal. And yet you see it in movies all the time!
Sure, if they're running away from a killer after prom that's fine. But sometimes they'll come dressed for a fight in heels!
Personally, I think the classy thing to do would be to give the engagement ring back to the person who gave it to you, and not just pawn it off.
But in the very least don't throw it off a bridge!
This is a bad one because not only does it teach men to keep going after a woman says "No" but it teaches women that aggressive, pushy men are to be desired.
Or they're punk rock girls who hate society, probably hang out exclusively with guys and also probably take an art class.
There's no in-between! Where are all our regular girls at?
I can understand women who come from our modern world might not have hair all over them.
But Wonder Woman has been on an island all her life, surrounded by women. Why would she shave?
This is honestly the closest thing to reality on this list.
However, high school parties are often not as insane as the movies would lead you to believe. Same goes for the women who attend them.
And you're right, mysterious Twitter user, women in movies should set an example for women in real life and learn to dress for the weather! No more taking jackets!

Obviously tons of women shave their heads.
But in movies, it's always for that climactic moment. Why can't it just be because they want to shave their head?
I'm tempted to give this one a break since it's been parodied in so many other movies.
However, this is a trope that we can no longer abide by.
This is possibly a lot worse.
It gives girls the idea that all you need to do is be pretty and suddenly, people will accept you wherever you go!
In movies, whenever there's a sex scene if the woman is supposed to have an orgasm, then she usually has one within five seconds or so.
It's a lot harder than that, people.
Going back to that point I made earlier about Wonder Woman, women who have survived a post-apocalyptic world would probably not be all that concerned with looking good.
They'd probably be concerned with surviving.
The women that I know won't even let their hair down when they're on the treadmill, let alone not put it up when they're facing a robot army.
There's a trope in movies that when a woman needs to escape from somewhere, she changes her hair from brunette to blond in a matter of minutes.
But it takes a lot more time than that.
There's actually a test for this, called the Bechdel test.
If a woman has a conversation with another woman about something that isn't a man, then the movie passes the test.
Sure, yes, there do exist some women in real life who throw on sexy tank tops and booty shorts to go to bed.
But most of them wear a ratty T-shirt and PJ bottoms.
Personally, I've never been invited to a women's only sleepover, so I wouldn't know what goes down.
However, from my research, I've found that they don't have pillow fights.
There are some women who, at parties or otherwise, will experiment.
However, most of the time in movies it's at a man's request that two women make out. This doesn't happen often IRL.
You could probably chalk this down to the fact that they have to do a lot of takes of the same scene, so not eating may make it easier.
But women in real life do, in fact, enjoy eating.
Again, not really watching a lot of women bathe here, but be honest ladies: do you really do that thing where you almost completely submerge yourself only to stare up at the ceiling?
And wait, do you actually use your phone while you bathe? Isn't that a hazard or something?
Is it just the movies, or do women in real life actually have a death wish?
Cannot confirm if this is real or not, but I've been to Forever 21 once or twice in my life and never have I seen someone come out with different wacky outfits while "Walking On Sunshine" plays.
Looking at you, Rachel Green.
Seriously, how did a waitress pay half the rent for that glorious apartment she and Monica lived in? Was Monica picking up most of the slack?
