They are on the same page, right under my post.
I see one person. Not three. And the argument wasn't that good.
The stereotype is sexist.
Explain why, in the context of what sexist actually means.
You seem unfamiliar with it, but it isn't something new. This is not about being a serious business person. It is about how a serious business woman is portrayed.
I'm not unfamiliar with the stereotype.
I'm unsure why you think it is inherently sexist in the context of this film.
I fail to see any point in the film where the idea of a serious businesswoman or what it takes for a woman to be a businesswoman is even addressed. The issue is her relation to the animals in the park because of her role as overseer of the park and her general empathy VS obsession with profit.
She is a stereotype of a "serious business woman" prevalent throughout film and culture.
This I will agree with, but this honestly only amounts to the statement "This is a type of stereotype that exists". There are many stereotypes that exist, and unless a film is REINFORCING them directly, I don't find that particularly harmful.
This film does nothing to actually reinforce negative gender stereotypes. It presents these elements as a positive attribute that has a cost in her life.
Just like in real life. The struggle between personal empathy, relationships and the focus business and success requires is a real one, and often depicted in film.
A serious business woman must be cold, stiff, incapable of having fun. That she must lose "traditional" feminine traits to becomes successful, and thus in the process becomes a person you don't want to be around.
1. Where in the movie is this even suggested?
All that is shown is that THIS businesswoman is. At no point in the movie is it shown or suggested that ALL businesswomen must be or are this.
This isn't SERIOUS BUSINESSWOMEN: THE MOVIE. It's JURASSIC WORLD. The fact that a single character has these traits does not mean that the movie is suggesting all businesswomen must.
2. "traditional feminine traits" strikes me, in itself, as a sexist idea".
3. The "cold businessperson" in general is rampant in cinema. To borrow your phrasing, you seem unfamliar with it, but it isn't something new.
These kind of stereotypes have been used over the years to insult and condemn women in general. That is why it is sexist, that is why it is a problem.
That's not the definition of sexist, though. You can insult and condemn a group of people without being sexist in the least.
I have literally never seen anyone, anywhere suggest that women are all stiff, cold businesswomen.
Please explain how this movie insults and condemns women as a group because its character, a single example of a personality, happens to come across a stiff and cold AT FIRST (nevermind that she's obviously not actually stiff and cold and only concerned with profit by the end of the movie).
It is because of who the character is before the incident. As if it would be impossible for her to be loving, caring and brave before the incident.
Umm...no.
At no point does anyone, be it the character or the characters around her, suggest this. None of her actions suggest this.
I see a woman who doesn't like kids or feels awkward around them. I see a woman who flirts/trades professional blows with a man she went out with once during one interaction.
I don't see any suggestion that it would be "impossible" for her to be loving, caring or brave. Nowhere is this remotely suggested in the film. She's presented as incredibly capable, if driven, from the word "go". She's also presented as fairly likable, with a sense of humor.
