Tommy's insensitivity to gender, women, and women's rights ("…

- - - - He does not apologize even after she starts to cry. :
      - Johnny, meanwhile, is supposed to be seen as a loyal, helpful, compassionate man who cares deeply about his friends and treats his adored “future wife” Lisa like the princess he tells her she is.
- - - - He makes all the girls, auditioning for Lisa's to give their auditions in a parking lot in front of everyone.
      - “I gave Brianna the check. ‘Look at him,’ she said, holding it as though about to rip it in half. Tommy was still sitting in makeup, pressing an icepack to his forehead. ;He won’t even acknowledge me . He’s such a pussy.’” (Sestero and Bissell 70).
- - - - Did not recognize individual's beauty.
      - This shows his objectification of women.
- - - - Main points include:-
        
        Traditionally, social norms have dictated certain gender
        roles for men and women. Men have generally been regarded as
        dominant, masculine, and independent, whereas women are often
        depicted as weak, sensitive and dependent
        
        Female self-objectification can best be defined as “regular
        exposure to objectifying experiences that socialize girls and
        women to engage in self-objectification, whereby they come to
        internalize this view of themselves as an object or collection of
        body parts” (Kroon & Perez, 2013, p. 16).
        
        According to Fredrickson and Roberts (1997), the cultural
        practice of sexual objectification leads to self-objectification, which
        turns into self-surveillance, causing psychological consequences
        and mental health risks in victims.
        
        “Interpersonal or social
        encounters include catcalls, checking out/ staring at, or gazing at
        women’s bodies, sexual comments, and harassment.
- - - - She cheats on Johnny because she’s bored but refuses to break up with him, then says that she still cares for him, then calls his best friend Mark over to fuck her on the spiral staircase (not making that up).
        
        Johnny/Tommy and his antiquated view of women: Lisa, that crazy fucking bitch, how dare she treat Johnny so badly. Doesn’t she know how good she has it? Everything about Lisa is ridiculous,
        
        The sexist/condescending remarks are usually aimed at Lisa, who is told by her mother, her friend Michelle, and pretty much everyone else that she can’t support herself and that she needs Johnny to take care of her.
- - - - He tells a story of his life when he was betrayed by a woman and then his life collapsed.
      - “Men have been conditioned to find women’s subordination sexy,
        and women have been conditioned to find a particular male version
        of female sexuality as erotic — one in which they are defined from
        a male point of view” (p. 140).
