Students at Wellesley College have a course dedicated to teaching them how to react if their future husband is offered a promotion. The sexist vision of this course does not please some students who provoke the professor.

Anyone else here catch on that Giselles "joke" was actually her tipping Betty off that her husband is cheating on her?
omg i didnt notice before!! youre right
Obviously
Foreshadowing
I don’t think so because Giselle hadn’t seen the husband with the other woman yet .. also i think in this scene Betty was not even married yet .
who is this boss to be inviting other people to your house!!?!?!
Technically he requested it the husband agreed
Ok?
Lovely (sarcasmo) so she has to make triple meal just because an assboss is testing u and ur housband? I insist poor women
@@EriksRose1 does he had a choice?
The upper echelon of companies tend to do that. They’ll ask the husbands, to get a reaction out of him. Esp if promotion time is coming up and 2-3 including the husband is up for that promotion. That’s a whole other subset that many will never have to worry about. It’s a whole other ball game. When you reach that upper echelon, you’re expected to know how to handle yourself and what is expected of you.
I love this film, but I can't accept that the teacher doesn't give the answer. Every time I watch this scene I think "ok, but what should I do to solve this problem and help my husband?" Even though I'll never need it, I just want to know!
This was a situation where the girls needed to come up with a solution on their own. I'm thinking after hearing the solution her students would have come up with she would have offered hers. Personally I think it's very inconvenient of the boss to do this. Back then women didn't have the choices they do now.
@karenmonson9893 that's how the class would go, yes. I just want to know the answer. If it were only one extra couple, I think the 'proper' answer was to give them your food and pretend you're on a diet. Another is to have made plenty extra just in case. But this is double the number of people. Could you just say 'sorry, I can't accommodate that at late notice,' and not have the boss think poorly of you?
The husband would have to be a big boy and figure it out on h is own.
@@cornishpasty4344 That's the problem, he can't.🤔😒🤪🍽
@@JaxTherapist It's really inconsiderate to put a wife or partner in a situation like this. I'd be tempted to say "this is your mess, you figure it out" and leave.🤔😒😏🤨🍽👋
What happens if you want to promote someone, but he isn't married? Does he have to host his own dinner party?
Promotions only went to family men, a single man didn't "need" it to pay for his family, so he wouldn't have gotten it .
@@valap_ 👏 Very true. My father talked about that. His friends suggest he wear a wedding ring on interviews because it showed you were settle and had responsibilities. 😕 After one interview, he got the job.
You wouldn’t have a promotion to think about. In those days promotions only went to men who were married and presented a certain image for the company.
In Singapore, there is an unspoken rule that we follow religiously :- Guest don't bring guests to party where they are not the hosts
"A few years from now your sole responsibility will be taking care of your husband and children." Then why bother getting a degree? Never understood this. Good movie though.
A degree looks nice for high society women to afford it, all the while leaving school and any other career pursuits for marriage. It says "I value a smart woman who reads books now that I've allowed her to read independently of me, but she should still darn my socks, make me an omelette every morning, and look away when the monotony I put her in leaves me sexually hungry for more than just the cookie cutter, but stay with me after I cheat."
To catch husbands ofcourse😊
I think it was about having options ?
@@juliafloreshernandez6854 That's cute that you think that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@scipioafricanus5871 than explain it to me please 🙂
Maggie is so amazing in this movie!!!
Someone who has never seen the movie: I don’t understand why people don’t respect motherhood and being a wife!!! It’s a beautiful choice. Yeah. When it’s actually a CHOICE. Also did you miss the part of the clip where the teacher said that their degrees won’t matter in a few years and the only thing that matters will be the grade their husband gives them? 😬
“When it’s actually a CHOICE.” THANK YOU.
You should see the film. Its really good. It's about smart girls not being reduced to being just a wife and mother but also some of them choosing to anyway. Because that's their choice. It's really great and has sadly been lost.
I think what the professor wanted was for women not lose themselves when getting married. A woman gives up so much and if her husband were to pass on and leave her widowed in those days it was very difficult for a woman to make an income to support a household in her own. In a lot of ways Katherine wanted women to provide for themselves but had a roughshod way of doing it because it was perceived disrespect towards their traditions. Being a mother is a wonderful choice sure wish we could go back to that.
What matters most the the grade your children present to the world. Producing and raising well adjusted healthy happy children is the best grade one can boast about.
Yes. Women should have a choice. And exposed to as many choices as possible.
The Boss inviting Extra people to your house for dinner, makes me think of Darrin's Boss Larry Tate on Bewitched. 🤣😅 The nerve.
Husband can find a hospital room, from hilton man
He'd end up in a hospital, or worse, if he indulged in hanky-panky with the boss's wife. It'd serve him right too.
@@sharonjensen3016 thats true 🤔
Marcia Gay Hardin was so good in this sad, sad role.
0:41 Can a boss actually do that? Either request the host of a dinner party to invite others or to just invite others on their own?
Apparently they did back then I would be majorly pissed off if someone I was hosting dinner for did that I'd cancel the whole thing
What I want to know is whether it was a case of the husband just being informed of the four extra guests to the dinner party and rushing towards the phone to tell his wife and to apologise because he knows how much planning she's put into this, or if it's a case of him being told about this before, calling his wife to make sure everything's ready and casually mentioning 'oh by the way, Smith, Jones and their wives have all been invited, boss insisted, I told his it was ok, hope you don't mind' (doesn't make much difference if he just found out or knew about this for hours if that's his attitude). Which is more likely?
poor women
You can't help the times you live in. As Billy Joel once said: "The good old days weren't always good."
@@sharonjensen3016its true 😮
Her dates gotta point like, calm down you're not Jesus.
Did anyone else find it odd that they picked the old maid/spinster woman to teach home making?
Back then, that would be her only choice. She didn’t get married, so she wasn’t expected and society to do anything else, except for teach or be a secretary. You can tell she comes from wealth, so fortunately, she had a home that, she was able to turn in to boarding for extra money. That’s the whole point of the movie. If you end up, not finding a husband, society was cruel to you.
@@beautifullyflawed6723 Yes, I understand why she was in the position she was in but why did the school think she was qualified to teach home making when she had never been married or... made a home?
because a married woman wouldn't have time to each a class. Notice this course was in the evening. @@Bluesmoke4200
@@Bluesmoke4200All women of that upper class would have had training in making a home and maneuvering in society. She did make a home. Where was she holding her classes? She was unmarried because she had a disappointment and could not recover from it. But the film tries to turn everything about her into a tragedy. She has a job she enjoys. She inherited and cares for her family home. She is teaching a class that young women of the time would find useful. Way back when, my high school still had home economic classes to offer students. I wish I would have taken it. They did fun things like bake cookies, plan meals, discuss basic housekeeping and just strategies to deal with day to day living. I would have found it useful and yes, enjoyed it. But that kind of stuff wasn't in then and it was demonized.
Am I the only one who wants to know what the solution to the dinner party problem is?
In this day and age, I’d be scrapping the home cooked meal and ordering out.
@@loonylovesgoodSame here, or go to a restaurant.
The solution is immediate divorce
Juliet Stevenson has Christine Lahti vibes, hasn't she??
He doesnt
0:14-0:20- 0:50 reminds me of wandavison
İts a wonderful idea , there should be class in college about marrige for man and woman, and it should be classes aboute parenting to ,
0:55 Teacher, Gisele made the joke but why you pushed the poor student to the floor? Poor smiley student.
Ganda movie
Bajo?
I knew there was something about the actor who plays Bill Dunbar’s speech. Then I saw the Crown and just figured out that it’s the same actor only that he was using an American accent.
'McNulty' from ' The Wire'. Dominic West a British actor, who went to Eton.
@@muiresuilgorm3452 I could tell even back 2005 he was struggling with his speech and then realized he was a Brit speaking with an American accent in his scene where he meets Julia Roberts’ character for the first time.
Lol...
Funnyyy
😂😂😂😂😂
HI MJ
Idol scribe
Why is this sexist? She is addressing the situation as a husband and wife in partnership together for the family well being.
Right, he's up for a promotion and needs to impress his boss. It benefits her, too, when they can afford a better life.
Because it completely disqualifies women’s dreams, ambition and really anything different. Are men getting these classes, because even if it’s not to do with jobs, they should also be getting taught how to be good spouses and parents too. Why are only women expected to fulfill all the roles, emotional, physical and sexual and men can just get jobs and that’s enough. All of a sudden, it doesn’t matter the level of connection that they have with their partner/children or how well they treat them.🤔
@@taraz6786 Being a mother and homemaker is a job. Many would say the most important job because a woman can create a beautiful life for her family. Why is this making you resentful or angry? It shouldn't. That is the propaganda getting a hold of you. The class in this scene is valid and it isn't insulting. But it is portrayed that way to a get rise out of people.
@@kerrytakashi12 Society rarely classes domestic labour as a job and men are rarely grateful for it. Not to mention being financially dependent on men is a situation ripe for abuse, loneliness and misery. I have grown up around it and seen it, so acting like this is a fairytale is gross negligence on your part and there is no propaganda, there is just the cold, hard truth. This way of life traps women in bad relationships/marriages with no escape. 🤷♀️
It's not. It's just modern day feminism twisting the situation because it's not what they agree with.
There is nothing sexist about this. Its always the right to choose until somebody chooses to live differently.
Look, until I see a woman make a meal and set a table with her vagina, I think anyone can set the table, make dinner, and adapt based on their partner's needs.
I don’t think you understand the way society functioned in the 1950s.
@@kiwimusume clearly you're the expert and refer to my original comment ✌️
Sigh.
