Have we discussed this old,but reverse sexist-ish article already? If not: http://www.cracked.com/article_16587_hollywoods-5-saddest-attempts-at-feminism.html

Hell, this author even cites a blog post from one blogger author who I believe was the one who accused Joss Whedon of being a rapist or something. Pardon my

By classist, I meant this line:

"we can safely assume it was moping around waiting for Will to return and popping out his children."

As for Swan, if I may present an alternate interpretation via tv tropes:

"Despite her extremely Action Girl qualities that only intensified as the movies progressed, Elizabeth Swann of Pirates Of The Caribbean found herself on the receiving end of this because she had the audacity to get married and, here's the kicker, stay loyal to her husband by not marrying anyone else during their ten-year separation and raising their child. Nevermind that she literally had no more battles to fight after the movies were over. Nevermind that over the course of ten years, she probably did a lot more than stand around. Because she actually loved someone who she knew was going to come back to her sooner or later, she was no longer a real heroine."

Wait, how is that classist? I don't understand. She's the governor's daughter, and he wouldn't want her working for a living, especially not one of the few jobs that women could do in that time period.

I mean, I'm not denying that there's a valid case for classism there. I'm just not seeing it.
