Misogynist review of "Erin Brockovich" from CAP Alert
http://www.capalert.com/capreports/erinbrockovich.htm

"...Along the way, Brockovich gets tangled up with a Harley biker, George (Aaron Eckhart) who turns out to be a great pretend dad for the kids but also a source of immoral sex <1Cor. 6:18-20>. I wonder how accurate this portrayal of a courageous woman was and how much new age ignominy was added. And I wonder if the role reversal was true -- the role which gives the "husband" the final authority in family matters. Note that since Erin and George were not married (not husband and wife) and since he had no dominion over the kids other than that which she gives him, she fully had the authority in her home to assume any role over George. When Brockovich achieved the chief bread winner of the Erin/George pair, she finds herself saying the things you usually hear the man saying: "I have a career that takes all my time. You will have to watch the kids while I'm gone." It is when a man and a woman become married that Gen. 3:16 and Ep. 5:23 apply. The husband is head of the wife/family as Christ is head of the church, NOT the head of women. In NO case is the husband the dictator and in every case the husband is responsible for the wife (and family) just as Adam was responsible for Eve in the Garden of Eden -- when God came for an accounting of their sins, He did not call for Eve ..."

So let me get this straight, Erin pulls herself out of the muck with her three young children, takes on a multi-billion dollar gas and electric company, wins a $333 million settlement which she distrubuted evenly among the residents of the town she represented, and just because she doesn't have a dick, she's supposed to instead put on a pair of slippers and waddle her pregnant ass back into the kitchen and whip up some pie?

1. Conservatives want white protestant men in charge of everything.

3. She committed a heresy against the Church of Mammon.
