Isn't Tootsie the film in which Jessica Lange's character says that she wishes a man would be more honest with her? She confides in Tootsie that sometimes she just wants a man to approach her, cut through the bs and just say he wants to have sex with her, if that is what he is thinking. So, once out of drag, Hoffman's character meets her at a party, and tells her straight up that he'd like to take her to bed. Jessica Lange, of course, gives him a good hard slap across the chops Grin. I loved that scene.

I definitely got that impression flora (that he learned his lesson), but it's scary to me to think that it took that for him to see! I can't think feminism has time to go around dressing every man in a dress and wig

I found this quite moving. He said he realised he would not speak to a woman that looks like him at a party. I don't expect he would date anyone less attractive but I wonder if it has changed his attitude to the women he meets socially and proffesionally.
