Well the first attempt I fell asleep. LOL
Overall I found the movie demeaning. I suppose though it was how things were at some point throughout history. As a woman who thinks outside the box I found it awful.
Yentl is a Jewish girl. Her Father is a scholar and in the privacy of their home has taught her the writings in books. She is not supposed to know of these writings rather just please a man by maintaining home, cooking, mending, etc.
When her Father dies she decides to cut of all her hair and pose as a man so she can learn. She passes a little too well as a man. So much in fact the guys are themselves about her and she must find ways to not show she is a woman. It goes too far. She even winds up married to a woman. Before finally revealing herself to her study partner to whom she has fallen in love with.
Where I have a very difficult time with this movie is the women were supposed to be mindless. Do as I say. They were frowned upon for hungering for knowledge. I truly disliked the storyline. However, movie wise I feel it was set well. I do feel people would love this movie. I do not think any woman who feels women should not be mindless twits will truly like it either. No I did not miss the point that she poses as a man to not be a mindless twit. However, why could she not have still been a woman who perhaps did something in hiding to educate women instead?
To understand where my views come from.... I was raised Roman Catholic. I am currently studying and have vowed to a minimal year of studies of Wicca before I can actually be Wiccan. I have never once truly cared what anyone has ever thought of me or what I do. Yes, I have put on false smiles to never show my true thought. I refused to be seen as weak.
I do believe a woman's place it in caring for the home and the family. Should a person of a same sex relationship be reading this: In your case the least dominant would be the woman role I speak of. While yes, she should be caring for her family she should be of a solid and strong mind. If I had to live with a mindless twit I would go insane. In every relationship for it to be strong there will always be a dominant one. I feel this is the masculine role.
In our home Spencer is the dominant one. This is the natural flow of the animal kingdom. Many were raised believing the man to work outside of the home and the woman in it. This never meant one was weaker than the other. I am a strong woman, but I am not the dominant one. We have an excellent relationship. He has the ultimate say in any given situation. Yet, I am not a mindless twit who just says yes hunny and does it. We speak of anything and everything. If I do not comprehend something he shows me or explains it and vice versa. We grow and learn together. So to mean this I am just supposed to mend, cook, clean, and child rear I would have gone insane.
As far as IMVU I made a Y shaped necklace. here it is:
This stunning blue sapphire and gold necklace is shaped in a "Y". The pendant at the bottom is a blue heart with devil horns and tail.
