Can’t they make a better model, say one like Tina Louise in “The Stepford Wives”?
Give me Dawn Wells any day.
“Can’t they make a better model, say one like Tina Louise in “The Stepford Wives”?”
Kind of random, but I have the original script for the most recent version of Stepford Wives. It was to be a much better movie than the usual feminist nonsense.
Basically, a loving brilliant doctor has a wife (also a brilliant doctor) who suffers from horrible depression, schizophrenia, and bi-polar disorder that appeared in her late 20s. She, too, is brilliant.
They devise an implant to control the misfiring in her brain so she can live a happy, productive, life. It works. SHE improves on the device to get rid of destructive habits, make her want to work out, up her libido, be nice to her kids, etc.
Works great. She loses a ton of weight, stops drugs, no longer snaps at the children, etc. and attracts investors who take control of marketing against the original two inventors’ wishes.
Women VOLUNTEER for the device, some against their husband’s wishes (some pressured), who love them “as they are”.
Well, it then goes off the rails, mainly due to the device being designed for her damaged brain, some homicidal, some more innocuous but destructive to the family unit, some good.
It was a more relevant parable about the abusive prescription drug industry and women’s choices for themselves, instead of the usual feminist pablum.
A large, leftist, investment fund with huge connection to the usual-suspect drug companies saw to it that the script was changed.
