I am not sure this story could have been told in anyway to make this reviewer happy. I am picturing it with reversed gender roles, and I think men would come out villianious in that version as well. "A shy introverted woman seeks out a reliable and comforting male figure to sort her life and provide companionship and is left devistated when he abandons her." In that version it would be "this movies postulates that woman are esentaily incomplete without the guidance of a strong man" in this version it's "men need woman to be one dimensional do what you are told nannies" I wonder if the reviewer thinks spike intentionaly was trying to make these broad gender statments or if he just had a simple idea for a story and all of his patriarchal bias just leaked out naturally.
