I can see a bit of myself when I'm at my most miserable and self indulgent in her but yea, it's sexist.
I see that the reason for it is to say that "men want to fix things" and "women want to be heard." This tends to be true most of the time ... Unfortunately the (very funny) film makes this point by making women seem extraordinarily stupid and the guy look smart. I'd love to see a part 2 of the movie with the man having a nail in his head, if only to deconstruct the stereotype. ellen, wrote a brilliant play about a couple having a quarrel. The same lines are acted out four times, by a straight couple, by a gay couple, by a lesbian couple, and also by the man and the woman saying the other person's original lines.
