Cinderella complex: Almost every "chick flick", well almost every movie that is at the theatre always has some elements of the cinderella-esque fairytale, yet these movies make money, lots and lots of money, and I am right along there contributing, because I do yearn to see the happy ending. I want women to fall in love with their dream man and live happily ever after, because this is entertaining, this is hopeful, this COULD happen. Most often you see the woman who consumes herself with work, gets to the top of the ladder (baby momma or wedding planner), and then suddenly realizes that she has been burying herself in her work only because she is void of a male security unit. She suddenly finds her Prince charming, or more often he finds her by saving her in some sort, and she decides love trumps all and work in no longer necessary.
... and I was just thinking of the concept of a wedding. The husband waits at the alter, while the bride walks, what does this signify? The man waits to take his bride, not the other way around, the father gives the daughter to the new man. So essentially she is never independent of a man, she is first her fathers "property", and than hopefully transferred to her husband.
