No. However, if you were a woman, would you want to be married to Stan Laurel or Oliver Hardy in their screen personas? I think not. Nevertheless, their on screen antics were still highly amusing, all the more because (in those few episodes where they were married) their long suffering spouses were an integral part of the comedy.

Part of the culture right now is a sort of reparations for the previous oppression of women. Women characters in movies are, on average, smarter, better groomed, less dysfunctional, more ambitious and accomplished than their male counterparts. While also able to handle any job as well or better than any man. I submit that a movie like “Bride Wars” are a healthy sign. Perhaps the culture is finally coming around to treating women equally.
