Battle of the Sexes

…And never a cease-fire.

Summary: The usual Caucasian conflation of the Personal with the Political.

Typical example of the White view that the sex-war is necessarily a set of political battles for supremacy - rather than anything based on equality.

Because White culture is rigidly-hierarchical - rather than egalitarian - it is hardly surprising that personal relationships (ideally, share-and-share-alike) would mimic White political arrangements (ideally, give-and-take) to produce excessive rates of divorce, loneliness, spousal abuse, pornography, alcoholism, etc.

One wonders if Whites actually like each other when watching a movie like this - and if their lack of fulfilling personal relationships explains their difficulty in such social activities as smiling.

The characterization is thin, the story & themes are not well-developed and only the topflight performers keep you watching.
