It genuinely pisses me off that so many people have internalized misogyny enough to forget about chick flicks. Most chick flicks pass the bechdel test without trying. Yes, they're largely ignored by mainstream film press, but that's because mainstream film critics are largely men who ignore chick flicks because they're geared towards women.

Dismissing the entire genre as objectively bad because the film canon has ignored them is perpetuating something damaging.
