Description

About a well-meaning but misquided ‘spokesperson” for the Department of Needs and Responses who is looking into a case of unfair treatment ”from all angles and curves”, he adds cutely. It appears that women are victims of unfair treatmentl ”Make that a black coffee, Miss Nomer,” he asks his secretary. An animated film with a sense of humour. It pokes gentle fun at the traditional stereotypes of restrictive attitudes towards women in a brief, lively history that illustrates how boys and girls get kneaded and shaped into their proper patterns. Differences, far from being tolerated, are openly encouraged right from birth.
