The Traffic in Men and the Fatal Attraction of Postfeminist Masculinity

Pages 113-131 | Published online: 20 Nov 2013
 

Abstract

This essay juxtaposes readings of three films—1975's The Stepford Wives, 1987's Fatal Attraction, and the 2004 version of The Stepford Wives—to suggest that feminist media critics' understanding of the dynamics of feminist, postfeminist, and “post-postfeminist” discourses in popular culture should include attention to the rhetorical and political implications of representations of men and masculinity.
