A scene from But I'm a Cheerleader 2000
Mary

Megan, it's your turn to report out your root.

Megan

I think it might be my parents.

Mary

Okay, go with that.

Megan

You know we've kinda been like this greeting card family. And then there was that one year where... well Dad was unemployed and Mom had to support us.
Megan's Dad: Wait a minute, that was only for nine months. And then I was offered a much better job at the plant.

Megan

Maybe seeing Mom kind of being the Dad, maybe l maybe I got the wrong idea about the roles of men and women.

Mary

Absolutely. I can't believe that you didn't mention this earlier. Your father was emasculated, your mother was domineering.

Megan

Well not exactly.

Mary

You wanted to emulate your mother. You have no respect for men, because you don't respect your father.
