Theres no denying it: ladies love the chick flicks. For men, theyre instruments of torture they must endure with their woman so they can be rewarded at the end of the night. Women, however, eat them up especially the under-30 crowd. Theyll drag their boyfriends to them, bond with a group of girlfriends while watching them, or sit at home alone crying to them. Nevermind that theyre vapid, formulaic crap that Hollywood can churn out faster than Sandra Fluke can go through condoms. Theyre still successful.
Too bad they also send some of the worst messages to women in the history of mankind. Horrible stereotypes, insulting characters, idiotic relationship advice its all there. Some chick flicks are better at hiding it than others, but generally, you can count on the same thing each time. The worst part is, women are actually starting to believe the lunacy they see in these movies!
So which are the worst offenders, and what damaging messages do they send?
