What Do Women Want?
Remember Mel Gibson discovering women’s thoughts and getting into their minds in his movie, What Women Want?
If you haven’t seen the movie, it was produced back in 2000. It’s about an advertising executive who’s had great success in the past, but he finds himself working for a woman on a women’s marketing campaign. He and his buddy can’t seem to come up with material because, quite frankly, they have no clue what would appeal to a woman. This stereotypical womanizer characterized by Mel Gibson decides to start trying out women’s products…make-up, pantyhose, nail polish…you get the idea. In the midst of this, he gets electrocuted and suddenly, he wakes up and finds that he can hear women’s thoughts. He hears his housekeeper, his estranged teenage daughter, the women at work as well as at the coffee shop. To his dismay, instead of thinking he’s such a stud, they smile on the outside, but inwardly think, “What a jerk!”

Stopping the Cycle of Abuse
My Losing Season is a book by Pat Conroy revealing the true story behind his novel, The Great Santini, which was made into a film in 1980, starring Robert Duval. That movie has often been used as an example of how abusive fathering can forever mark a family. In the story, a marine officer repeatedly beats and ridicules his son, and ultimately commits suicide.
Conroy writes, “I did not tell the whole truth, because if I would have ... no one would have believed me.” From the time Conroy was a two-year-old, he watched his father abuse every family member. “My father did not allow his sons to cry after he backhanded us. If we did, well, then the beating turned serious, and then my mother had to pull him off us, and then my father would turn on her.”
