I consider myself a feminist, but a lot of "feminist" entertainment and movies nowadays seem to be screaming, "Men are fools. Watch women rule, because they know everything and never fail!" Is that one of those types?

There is one noble dimwit, as I'm a huge P.G. Wodehouse fan and can't seem to write a book without at least one Bertie Wooster-type, but most of the male characters are heroes, in every sense of the word.

I'd probably say it's maybe in-between the two, though probably more on par with Miss Lattimore's Letter. There are only kisses in this book, and a little innuendo, but one of the kisses does involve some accidental entangling. (Though not in a fountain.) (less)
