The drink in the face...

I love this movie... one of the best comedies ever. And certainly with deeper underlying meanings that make it more than just a comedy about a guy in drag.

But one scene always seemed a bit hypocritical to the theme.

Micheal Dorsey meets Julie at a party. He says to her exactly what she claimed (to Dorothy) she wished a man would say to her. And she throws a drink in his face. Why?

Because he was a short, big nosed, obviously not rich or successful, guy who was beneath her status. If he had looked like Brad Pitt I sense the character would have engaged in playful banter and who knows what.

Considering the movie was about how douchebag men are because they don't understand what a woman goes through... I suggest that they might have been a little more sensitive to what mere mortal looking guys who aren't rich can sometimes face.

The scene in itself is funny and is played for the laugh at the end but it just seems a little hypocritical.
