I finally sat down to watch She's The Man, starring Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum. I was unsurprised to find that this 2006 drama comedy for teens based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is laced with dated gender roles and is more homophobic and sexist than I realized.

I was younger watching this. And I knew I was part of the lgbt+ community but I fidnt get all the nuances of what that meant. However these types of movies opened the door to have those conversations. I don't think my mom would have otherwise allowed me to watch something like that if Viola was openly trans or sebastian was actually gay. But looking back this movie was actually really bad in more ways than one.

@ChestersonJack 3 года назад

I think there’s a lot of things like that when you’re starved for representation, especially when you come from a place where these sorts of things aren’t really discussed. Like, Ouran High School Host Club is wildly transphobic and homophobic, (not to mention I’m not really into anime otherwise) but Haruhi and her dad being able to dress in drag and it not saying anything else about their character or their sexuality meant a lot to me as a kid where the only drag I saw on tv was for gay jokes. Likewise, the song Lola by the Kinks may not use language considered polite by today’s standards, but hearing a beloved song sing about someone who blurs the lines of gender with reverence and awe really helped me feel confident in my identity growing up.

@catcatgoesflying4949 3 года назад

@@ChestersonJack I was raised to believe girls and boys exactly the same. My mum let my brother wear skirts and dresses and let me wear suits, there was no "boys cant do that" and "girls cant do this" it was all just equality. Now I'm about to finnish highschool and I litterally have no idea on what girl vs boy means...I just see them as labels, and pronouns are just words and I don't see any diffference in the slightest apart from how boys and girls are usually raised and the stereotypes but other than that I dont get hte big deal of why people have like gender dysphoria and stuff cuase I believe zero diff in gender. Gender should be treated the exact same, anyone can be masc or fem so who really cares. Ouran highschool host club the main character I just thought was a girl, but everyone says shes enby and I dont get why cause it looked like they only saw her as enby because she didn't act like typically girls .-. And Idek know what a girl means like what does it mean to be one. Like Its all too confusing lol

In the end, Duke basically said “Oh you’ve been a girl the whole time? So that means it’s okay that I developed feelings for you when I thought you were a boy! It also means my day dreams where you’re aggressively slobbing my knob are okay too and we can totally be together now that I’ve learned you’re a girl sans peen!” The fact they got together almost immediately after she revealed herself shows Duke was 100% attracted to Sebastian and had developed romantic feelings for what he thought was a boy. There’s one scene in particular where you can tell Duke is absolutely falling for Sebastian.. it’s the montage when he’s coaching her and he leaves, but not before he turns around to look at Viola practicing and doing the moves he taught her, and he smiles like “yeah… imma fvck that throat” 😂😂😂 That’s my version of events and I’m sticking to it lol

It seems like this would have made a lot more sense with prepubescent “identical” twins. That way their voices, heights, clothing size, etc could be mostly the same so they could swap more easily like in Switching Goals with the Olson twins. Then it could be more about fighting for equality rather than stripping naked in public….

@angelicaapperson950 3 года назад

As an identical twin, my twin and I watched this movie when we were in high school and came to basically the same conclusion. We were like, "dude, the Olson twins could have done this better." This movie would have been 100% better if they used very similar looking fraternal twins as well. We were friends with a pair of fraternal twins in middle school that were boy and girl, but they had extremely similar body types and facial structure. We often had discussions together about trying to swap places with our twins for even a day, but once we thought about how different our class schedules and friend relationships were for each twin, we shelved that idea. It seemed too complex for 12-14 year old kids to pull off, fooling teachers and friends isn't as easy as Amanda Bynes makes it seem. 😅😂

@realnuisance39 2 года назад

The Shakespearean source material is mostly to blame for this. Women disguising themselves as men and vice versa was very common in his plays. However I think that the original material says more about being queer than this movie does unfortunately.

@PoptartParasol 2 года назад

Wouldnt that be fraternal twin? I think identical twins are the same sex*

@GeteMachine 2 года назад

If Viola/Sabastian was gay, it wouldn't work with how the other characters were set up though. It would work better if Duke was. Like if Duke was really in the closer and just trying to put on a mask by trying to emphasize a crush on Olivia (when he could very well just like her looks as a gay guy and not actually be attracted to her) and realize he was into Viola as Sabastian whom he didn't know was a girl. Thus his nervousness with women might have been him not actually being attracted to them. It would I guess then justify his homophobia against Viola when as Sabastian she called him hot, and tried to embrace him longer than most straight guys would. He could have not ben sure about how to react to Viola/Sabastian coming onto him while he thought he was a guy. Duke would realize Viola was a woman and then go back into the closet a bit when can convince himself he wasn't having more chemistry with Viola when he thought she was a guy, while Olivia could have recognized Viola (having the same face) and realize she was attracted to a girl whom she assumed was a guy. Then develop their coming of age, off of that. That would have been more interesting imo.

Ever since the first meeting, she was sending Olivia signs that she wasn't interested and Olivia didn't even fall for Viola - she liked *Sebastian* because he wasn't macho, was more open and honest than the rest of the guys at the school and wasn't afraid to show vulnerability. She just wanted a healthy relationship with a man, it's sending more messages about toxic masculinity than wlw romance.

The rest of the play is an examination of love and its many perceived obstacles including age difference, social status, wealth, physical vs. emotional vs. intellectual compatibility, and gender.

@@ikeepscreamingbutgodwontan3132 Ok, i understand what you are trying to say but i disagree because i think you might have misunderstood the premisse/intention. I'll try to explain succinctly. For example, i was waaay better in soccer than most boys in my class but, nonetheless, i had to keep proving my skills to everyone and the coach to play when an average or even actually bad male player could keep making the class team simply because he was a boy and "boys play soccer and are better at it". The point is: *people shouldn't be discriminated on the basis of gender* (or any other form, but we are talking about this one specifically). Not saying the movie did a particularly good job at showcasing that, but it was the intention. In conclusion, using some of the movie's plot points: 1- if we follow your logic, Viola's ex-boyfriend (the goalkeeper) should have been kicked out of the team a long time ago because he wasn't nearly as skilled as the others BUT he wasn't, he stayed not based on skills but because of the "boys club mentality"; 2- the whole plot of the movie was kickstarted because the women's soccer team was being cut for an unjustified reason so if the girls didn't receive a lesser treatment based on gender the whole thing wouldn't even have happened in the first place; 3- see how laser focusing if Viola's skill level was better than boy X or not isn't the issue to be looked at nor a way to extract the premisse that "boys are better than girls at X" but the systemic gender issues at hand that initiated the problem? Because i am sure there will be some girls better than some boys in each of the teams and vice versa so *it should have been a matter of skill and not gender all along* ; 4- and by this very reason girls should not be stereotypically judged as less skilled than boys in any activity because the measurement is not supposed to be on one's gender but on competence!

To this day, masculine women are almost never depicted in roles of any significance. They certainly had no great appearance in this wave of 2000s bad taste.

The thing about mechanics though is that they on large have been proven via gathered data by several studies to adjust their service and the cost of certain scalable services based on gender and gender identity. It’s been show that women who take their vehicles to mechanics are often overcharged and pushed for unnecessary vehicle services. This is why some women even have their male friends take their cars in or if they’re in a straight relationship will go with their SO. I could imagine the bias follows through to more feminine presenting individuals. So please do keep fighting your internalized homophobia and being your true self- at the same time I don’t think that trying to act more masculine at a mechanic specifically is that bad of an idea if we’re talking from a strictly fiscally standpoint- which is super shitty, needs to seriously change, but a good thing to be aware of

One aspect of PMS my Grandma taught me, roughly a year after my menstruation started at the end of grade 4 (so 10 yrs old). I tended to just put my feminine hygiene items under the sink in the bathroom, where ever I could room. And just through used items away (wrapped in the pad wrapper - edited) without much thought to disguising what they were. One day Grandma pulled me aside and said, “ we need to find a way for you to store and through out your Kotex (aka pads) discretely. While men know that women have a period every month, they are uncomfortable with seeing the proof of said period all over.” And so the baskets or shoe boxes became my storage, and disposal meant burying my used items down in the trash more, even taking out the garbage so my grandpa didn’t have to. Grandma also taught me how to clean any blood spots on clothing as well. And just for context, my Grandma had been born in 1922, menstruation and sex where not topics of discussion when she was young, nor with her kids. My mom had learned from her peers at school. So to avoid that with me my mother had bought a copy of “Our Bodies, Ourselves” so talk to me about periods, sex, and sexuality.

And I don't wanna see it or possibly touch it. You shouldn't force other people to either. No one wants to see blood or bodily fluids of any kind just lying around.

The fact that I watched this as a kid and accepted the scene where viola said Channing was hot as: “oopsie she almost gave herself away hehe” Like I didn’t even consider the fact that a man could be gay- it was just he’s straight or pretending to be a girl. So messed up

So, this movie has a lot of nostalgia for me. And watching this breakdown, I 100% agree with everything that you're saying about gay representation, and the toxicity that this movie perpetuates. But I think I also just pinpointed why this movie left such an impression me as a kid. I'm a queer woman, and I think that the relationship between Viola-as-Sebastian and Olivia meant a lot to me, because Olivia, albeit unbeknownst to her, has feelings for another girl. I think that even as a young person who had not come into their own attraction, there was still a part of me who recognized this dynamic as being very important to who I was. As an adult, I realize how messed up this is. Because Viola is a cisgender woman who seems to be primarily or exclusively attracted to men, and Olivia's attraction to her is based on completely false pretenses. Additionally, at the end of the movie, there's a lot of compulsive heteronormativity as Olivia falls for the real Sebastian. It's really terrible representation. But as a preteen with no real conception of what healthy relationships look like, it was meaningful. But I wonder how many other people who have fond memories of this movie are also on the LGBTQ spectrum, with attraction to women?

I'm non-binary and Sapphic, this movie was one of my favourites growing up because of the playing with gender roles as well as the way Olivia looks at Viola, ngl I still head cannon that Olivia is bi. (actually the Shakespeare play is also one of my favourites too) Even bad rep is rep, right? That's why good rep is so important - lgbt+ teens will look to anything to inform us since we don't have a way to learn who we are and why we don't fit into the norm.

@oceanwxves6608 2 года назад

Actually, the naming the girls Viola and Olivia was a trick Shakespeare used in his plays. It's supposed to sound common, as both the girls are "foil" characters, or characters that are polar opposites, but Shakespeare made them slightly similar, such as how both are mourning the loss of their brothers (even though Sebastian is alive in Twelfth Night but yeah) and similar names. I guess he uses this trick to make them seem similar so their differences are really highlighted. But yeah using the same names was useless lmao.
