I have found the discussion dealing with "women" in american films to be quite
 interesting. I may be wrong and please forgive me if I am, but have most of the
 postings been made my the men on the list?  I would like to see some more
 women come forward on this particular subject.  I think we will see some very
 diverse opinions. :-)
 
 I do not find women toting guns and being macho disturbing.  What I deteste
 is the portrayal of women with strong sexual drives and desires as psychotic
 and or murderers!  What is this saying?  Sexuality = Mental Illness?????
 Glenn Close, _Fatal Attraction_, Sharon Stone, _Basic Instinct_ and Madonna,
 _Body of Evidence_.  These are only the obvious choices.  Any others?
