I don't go to rpa so I'm not sure what's gone on there, but I'm sorry that chick flicks have harmed you and your life. The Joy Luck Club is unironically my favorite movie and First Wives' Club is what made me question Disneyesque happy endings in the first place. I'd actually deleted that from my last comment before posting because I didn't want to be immediately dismissed for providing no references past the Sandra Bullock era of films.

Agreed about the bechdel test being garbage, but I was under the impression that we were arguing the same point.
