I certainly didn't think that the men in "Entre Nous" were depicted this way. The main male character (the husband of the blonde woman - sorry can't remember any of their names (except for one daughter: Sophie <-:)) was not stupid, and was quite sensitive even if he had lots of trouble expressing it. I actually felt quite sorry for him. The other male character, on the other hand, certainly fitted the description you gave. -- Sophie Quigley {allegra|decvax|ihnp4|linus|watmath}!utzoo!mnetor!sophie
