- My kid will watch Breakfast Club some day and she's gonna wonder at the unenlightened era in which it was created.
I think her generation will look at that sort of thing the way I look at Looney Tunes. The cartoons can have horrible charictures of black people, but I know that was a representation of the times, wrong then and wrong now, and not a reason to dismiss the art entirely. Sexism is going the same way, happily.
