[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looking back on all three with a more feminist perspective, footloose is pretty horrible. Dirty Dancing and Flashdance are more female positive. Do LOVE the opening scene from Footloose though, in the Bug with I think Quiet Riot blaring[/quote] The abortion-positive (or at least not overall negative) subplot of Dirty Dancing was pretty revolutionary at the time. Went over the heads of much of the younger audience, I think.[/quote] I was a devout Catholic high school girl when Dirty Dancing was popular. None of my friends thought the abortion storyline was that unusual. The whole point was that she lied to her father. She disappointed her father by not telling him what the money was for. And she knew she just ran and got her father whenever something was wrong. Plus, the important storyline was how her father was so class conscious, favoring Robby over Johnny. [/quote]
