i really liked the breakfast club until the ending. it came across as a message about conforming to gender roles or something and it was dumb
I don't...

I don't see how you got that at all.

It's suppose to be a ''You're going to look at us whatever way you want to look at us, but we know the truth and we'll be who we really are." message.

It's about being yourself.

Nothing at all to do with gender at all.

Much as I love The Breakfast Club, this is something that bothers me as well. :/ I really like her character in the first 9/10 of the movie and the whole "Girl/woman is given a new 'traditionally attractive' look as a means of character development" trope is so tired and annoying.

She doesn't though.

She stays the same. There's no change in her character, other than the fact that she gains confidence in herself.

She allows herself to be dolled up, because she wants to be.

Ain't nothing wrong with that.

Also worth noting about Allison is that just because she gets the dolled up makeover, doesn't mean she's being forced to change to get a boy or anything. It's not a horrible offender. Now Grease. That's the worse.

It's pretty clear that the make up is just opening herself up to confidence a bit, and it'll probably go away like most of what happened in detention will once school starts over again. Which is why she rips the patch off Andy's jacket.

It's a memo to him/her that all this happened and it's portrayed in a typical Allison ''kooky" way. The girl stays the same. She doesn't become a victim like Sandy does at the end of Grease.

You had Pizza without me? Good. Hate the stuff

Who said I was criticizing him?

I don't criticize. I openly tell you you're stupid.

Notice? I haven't called him stupid yet. :smirk:

I'm a woman
Then her.

Sorry, my lady friend. I just assume everyone on the internet is a male until proven otherwise.

Because girls obviously realize that the internet is filled with us icky ass men folk and they should stay away. :lick:

And just in case our new lady friend assumes I'm making fun of her for not liking pizza.

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Roger. (Well, not really really Roger, but you get the point.)

I'm never seriously attacking anyone or judging them for what they like or don't. Just playing with you. :)
