[twinkling music]

- Oh yeah!

- Come on baby. Shake that thang!

- Can you please keep it down? I'm trying to work.

- On a Saturday? Get a life.

- And you're wasting your day playing a video game and I need a life?

- It's not a waste of a day if I break my high score. Oohooh ooh!

- Watch your back, Derek. Somebody's behind you!

- Switching to booty-cam. - Booty-cam? - Oh yeah,

you gotta love that booty-cam. - What are you guys playing? - Babe Raider.

- You've got to be kidding me. She's all chest and legs...

and chest. - And butt. Don't forget butt.

- She's got some and she kicks some.

- What did you say? - [Babe]: You'll never get away.

I'm hot on your trail.

- What did she say?

And what is she wearing? That outfit is like

skin-tight! That cannot be comfortable.

- I know. She should just take it off! - Ohhhhhh, yeah!

- No! Games likes this have got to be part of the reason

why you guys are so hugely immature.

- G-g-g-g-g-g Ahhhh!

- Hey! That's what I'll do my media studies project on:

sexist games, and why they should be banned.

- Forget that. Just listen to Babe Raider.

- Come on, boys. You know I'll get you! Why resist?

- Don't you understand how wrong this stuff is?

- Sounds like somebody's jealous of somebody else's double-D body armour.

- [Babe]: Watch this! - [Both]: Ahhhhhhh!

- My stepbrothers: Derek the Caveman and Edwin, the Caveboy.

I wonder, were they born offensive?

Or did they become that way due to bad influences.

But, most of all, I wonder:

could they be retrained to be evolved human beings?

- Ew! What are you playing?

- I'm not playing, I'm researching sexist video games for my media

studies project. What kind of Neanderthal

could like this stuff?

- What are you playing?

- She's not. It's research.

- Cool! - No, it's not!

You shouldn't have to see girls

with breasts bigger than their head!

- How does that girl stay in her outfit

jumping around like that? - I don't know.

- Wouldn't she get a wedgie?

- In real life, yeah, she would, Marti.

But she's a fantasy girl drawn by some guy

who thinks women should look fake and sound stupid.

[ Phone rings ] Hello?

Hey, Sam! No, I don't know where he is.

I can't keep track of him.

I can't even keep track of myself half the time!

- That's Sam? - And here's Derek!

- You l-u-v Sam!

- What? I do not!

- Casey and Sammy, sitting in a tree.

- Both of you, out!

- K-i-s-s-i-n-g.

- Dad, have you seen our new mailman?

- Yeah, she's a chick! - The mailman's a chicken?

- No. A chick.

- He means a "woman".

- So he should say "woman".

And what's wrong with a female mailman?

Mail woman... mail person...

- Nothing... Especially since she's a hottie. - Totally hot.

- Do you mean that pretty blonde woman...

I didn't notice.

- So guys, I've been thinking.

- Here we go...

- This house has a very maletype environment.

- I know, isn't it great?! - Ah ha. - For you, yes.

I've noticed the men in this house aren't very sensitive to women.

- You've only been here three months. You'll learn to block it out.

- We have to deal with stuff... Like your left-up toilet seats.

- Who left the toilet seat up? I fell in again!

- The way you get your way by sitting on us.

- Fine! Watch what you want!

- ...and the way you eat food right off our plates.

- Georgie, stop that! - But what

I find most offensive are the sexist portrayals of women

permitted in this house. And I'm sure you all know what I'm referring to.

- No. - Well don't worry, I've written it all down.

- A Manifesto?

- Sounds manly... - Bet it's not.

- What's a manifesto?

- It is a list of rules Marti. In this case, feminist rules.

- Cool! - It sounds very cool.

We're all feminists here... Right George?

- Of course we are.

- We can't be feminists! We're guys! We're guy-ists!

- But that's the point. Feminism is for everyone,

at least those who are evolved.

- Well, I don't want to be evolved!

- Don't worry, Edwin. There's no way

we're going to be following Casey's womanifesto, right Dad?

- Right.

Wrong.

If you actually read these rules, you'll find that they're

pretty... reasonable.

- Dad, it's just us guys here. You can, uh, put that away.

- Yeah, you don't really expect us to do what Casey says, do you?

- Um... - Do you??!!

- Look guys,

I need your help here.

This marriage is in the starting blocks and I just want

your new mom to know that we're all in this together.

- We? I like her, but, Dad, you married her.

- Then do it for my sake.

I mean, I think it would be good for you two to learn how to behave around women.

- Trust me, dad, chicks dig me. - Yeah, and babes are all over me too.

- Listen to yourselves... Chicks? Babes?

I mean, we're not a house of guys any more.

A little enlightenment couldn't hurt.

- This so-called "enlightenment".

How important is it to you?

- What do you want? - Thumb drive.

256 meg. USB 2.0 compatible.

- Done. Derek?

- I'm sorry, but I cannot be bought.

- Then I'll go with a threat... You still planning

to take driving lessons on your 16th birthday

using my car? - Yeah.

- Ah-ha. Well, unless you keep an open mind about this, you can forget it.

- Number one: no playing Babe Raider in the house?

- Does the garage count as the house?

- Number two: the garage counts as the house.

Look, number three. I will not do number three!

I'm not taking it down. - Derek,

I agree there is no greater

contribution to culture than the modern thong,

but the thong must come off the wall.

- This is my room! You can't just throw out my stuff.

- Just relax, I'm gonna store these until this feminist

wave settles a bit. No one's throwing anything out.

- George, I threw out your car magazines.

- Why? - Because they were draped with women.

- Nora, those magazines also contain valuable automotive information.

- What do you know about cars?

- Nothing, that's why I need those magazines.

- Ah, Georgie, that is so ridiculous, don't you think?

- I guess so. - But...

- Oooh! And while I'm here I'll take those posters.

- But, but, but... - You men are being very mature about this.

- Please. We're not men.

Real men would never let this happen.

- A maniwhatso? - A Feminist Manifesto.

And thanks to Casey's feminist rampage, I'm not allowed

to have degrading images of women on my wall.

- But you're allowed stuff on your desk?

- Well, that's classy enough for Casey!

- Hey, how about we go play some Babe Raider?

- Can't. Manifesto rule number one: No "Babe Raider".

So we'll just have to wait till the house is woman free.

- Can I get a snack? - Yeah, help yourself.

- Do you want anything? - Yeah, I want my posters back!

- Sam! And my manifesto?

- Yeah, Derek was showing it to me.

- Oh. Well, I know it's kinda silly...

- No, why? You took a stand.

I think that's pretty cool. - You do?

- Yeah, well, I have three older sisters.

I'm used to that kind of feminist stuff.

- But do you believe in it?

- Well I don't mind it.

But if you tell Derek I said that, I will deny it.

- It'll be our little secret. - Cool.

- I gotta go raid your refrigerator.

- Raid away!

- Nora, we need to talk.

- Wow, you sound just like your dad.

- Well, unlike my dad, I'm no pushover!

Especially when it comes to this feminist stuff.

- George is no pushover, he's a sensitive man.

- What's the difference? - There's a big difference. - I agree.

And I'm sensitive too. - You are?

- Yeah, especially when it comes to having to take down my favourite posters.

- Oh, Derek, those women were half-naked.

- But art galleries are filled with pictures of fully naked women!

- Really? Dude, let's go!

- There's a difference between the artistic

appreciation of the female form and objectifying women.

- Okay, all I know is those differences made absolutely no difference

until manifesto-mania hit this house.

- I've never had sons before, so

I'm guessing a chat on feminism isn't your idea of fun.

- Oh, sure it is... But I really should get to bed.

- You know what, just give me a couple of minutes.

It's really important for you boys to know that feminism

isn't about men losing power, it's about equality.

- What does taking down my posters have to do with equality?

- There's a university essay I wrote on the Feminine Mystique.

Maybe you'd like to read it?

- Sure!

Anything else I can do for "the cause"?

- Sure!

You can clean up this mess and do the dishes.

- Consider it done.

Edwin, clean up this mess and do the dishes.

- Hey, you can't tell me what to do 'cause you're not a woman!

- You know, some guys don't mock these ideas.

Some guys actually believe in them.

- I don't know any. - Other than your best friend?

- Sam? - Yeah. I bet he wouldn't degrade women by hanging up

tacky posters or playing a stupid game like Babe Raider.

- Oh really?

Look who's the King of Babes. - Sam?

- Really no surprise. I mean we're talking about a guy

who spends a great deal of his life playing Babe Raider.

- No way! You made that up! You put his name in there!

There's no way my Sam - I mean your Sam - I mean... [ Door opens ]

- D, I'm back! Let's raid some... babes!

- I should have known better. The real world is a sad place!

- I'm guessing that something bad happened.

[ Sigh ] - This guy I thought I liked, who shall remain nameless,

is totally into this sexist Babe Raider game which I totally despise.

So I should despise him too, right?

- Right? - But I don't despise him, and you wanna know why?

Because I'm a total hypocrite who can't control her feelings.

My heart says one thing, my head says another thing!

And now I sound like a cheesy love song!

- Uh, well,

you know how computer guys like me are always...

considered, you know... geeks.

- I don't see you like that. - Ah, thanks.

- Of course, I'm not in your computer class.

- Right... Uh, so the truth is

is that there are some computer guys,

AND girls, that are, um... geek-ish. And some that aren't.

You just can't generalize.

So, this Babe Raider game. Are you lumping it in with all these other sexist video games

or have you played it? Because the turbo level rocks!

- Ah...

- So I've heard.

- So you're suggesting that before I write off the guy

I should check out the game?

- Why not?

- I'm telling you, Sandra...

"...having a strong female presence in my house

has forced me to reflect on my attitudes about women."

- [Whispering]: Listen to Derek. Sounds like Casey and I

might actually have made an impression.

- Personally I wouldn't want you to...

"subjugate your ambitions and desires to any...

patriarchal system that disrespects your feminine power".

- This from the guy who made a sling shot

out of your bra last night? Ah...

- I mean these ideas are still really new to me.

You think maybe we could, uh, get together and discuss them?

Great.

- Aaah!! - Shhh!

- But I don't get it. Your number one rule was 'No Babe Raider'--

- Because it's offensive to women. I know.

But I AM a woman so I'm allowed to offend myself.

- That makes no sense! - Shh! Neither does this game.

I've been trying to turn it on for an hour. Please help me!

- Ah, women!

Okay, so here's the deal:

Babe Raider has been wrongfully accused

of betraying her former mentor, Werner Von Werner.

So she's forced to enter the dark world of betrayal and vengeance

and use her feminine wiles to clear her name.

- In those boots? Good luck.

I am so confused! Okay, the blue button shoots,

the red button jumps, what does the green button do?

- The green button switches targets! And the blue button does not only shoot -

it fires torpedoes! Work with me!

- Torpedoes?! From where? - [Babe]: You've heard of "raw" power?

Well this is BRA POWER! - That is so wrong!

- And yet so right.

- I can't believe this game.

I can't believe this game!

- Ho-lee! How did you jump like that?

- Easy, easy. I just push that button, then I...

- Yeah, but then how did you-- - Black is for the hip-check combo spin

and the white is for the seductive strut.

Work with me! - Hey!

- Babe Raider is on the prowl!

- Wow! You kick butt - for a girl.

Actually, you kick butt for anybody! - I know.

"Dear Casey. Didn't want to wake you,

but we all went out for pancakes. Love Mom."

[ Doorbell ]

- Hi, Casey... Nice pj's.

- Thanks. Uh, Derek's not back from breakfast.

- Oh, okay. Um, I just dropped by to--

- Play Babe Raider with him?

- Yeah about that, see, I can explain.

Um, my sisters, they won't let me play Babe Raider at my house

so I just come over here to play.

- Well... You're here. Let's play.

- What?...

- Hah! Whooo! Yes!

That is it! You are so mine!

- No way! Bad move following

Werner Von Werner into the lava swamp!

I've got you right where I want you!

- Oh, yeah? - Yeah!

- No!!! - [Babe]: Game over.

- Sorry for totally destroying you like that.

- No biggie. You are the King of Babes...

For now.

- You know, just when I think I've got you figured out...

- I know. I'm confusing.

- Hey, Sam. Sorry I'm late, um...

I'm on a major maple syrup rush.

You wanna play some one on one before I crash?

- Sure, yeah. - Come on man! Let's get out there so I can whip your butt!

♪♪♪

[ Thunderclap ]

[ Shouting like a pro ]

[ Monster growling ]

- Get away from me!

Help!

[ Growling ] Help!

[ Shouting ]

You're the King of Babes.

- More like the Queen of Babes!

[ Thunderclap ]

- Good morning! [ Sound of old car horn ]

- Isn't that top a little... tight?

- Why is your stomach showing?

- You look pretty!

- Ummmm... - Ummmm... - Ew.

- Well, you know, it certainly is a, um... a bold look,

don't you think, honey? - Well, that's the point.

What's wrong with exposing a stronger, more confident side?

- [Mumbling]: Dad? What are we supposed to say?

Casey's exposing herself!

- While I'm eating!

- Boys! Conference. living room.

- What is she wearing?! - I don't know. But we're

trying to be enlightened in this house, which means--

- Which means we have to throw out our offensive material,

but Casey - she can dress in offensive material!

- Yeah, you know, I don't get feminism at all!

- Well, feminism is a complex thing

caused by difficult... stuff.

- Yeah, I've read the literature.

Okay, I skimmed one of Nora's essays.

But this isn't feminism! This is insanity! - Yeah!

- I am seeing a lot more Casey than I usually do.

- I know, but this... is how Babe Raider dresses.

- Um, I don't know how to break this to you, but you're not Babe Raider!

And I know you're using this to say something bad about the game for your media presentation--

- Actually I'm using it to say something good about Babe Raider.

It's an empowering outfit. I've opened my mind!

- Are you sure about that? Aren't you just asking for stupid comments from guys?

- That's their problem, not mine. - [A guy]: Looking good!

[ A guy's whistle ] - Dude, your step-sister is...

- Don't you dare finish that sentence?

- Look, all I know is she played a mean Babe Raider and now

she looks like a Babe Raider. - What are you talking about?

She would never play that game. I mean, it's completely against her... morals.

- She plays, dude. And she's good.

- Casey plays Babe Raider? And she's good?

- Yeah, I know. I was surprised too, but--

- That's it! The insanity stops now!

- Yeah, and it's totally comfortable.

- I like it! - It's so good.

- You're a total hypocrite - What's your problem?

Bye, guys! - Yeah, yeah.

- Okay, first you ban Babe Raider, and then

you start dressing like Babe Raider, and now Sam

tells me that you play Babe Raider?!

- I might have been wrong about Babe Raider, but I'm not a hypocrite.

- Oh. - Babe Raider kicks butt and turns heads.

She's a great role model for women. - Oh, yeah, totally agree.

And for me, the most empowering moment of the game must be the topless level.

- The... topless level?

- The topless level. When Babe Raider finally succeeds in defeating

the alien Visigoths, she celebrates by taking off her top. Now, I've

never been that far but Sam has,

a bunch of times. I mean, they don't call him

the "King of Babes" for nothing, huh?

- C'mon, let's go to media class.

What's wrong with you? - A lot.

I talked myself into something totally ridiculous because of a guy.

- Happens to the best of us, sister.

- But how can I do my presentation when

I'm so confused about what I'm talking about?

I'm con Babe Raider, I'm pro Babe Raider...

Em, what am I?

- You are... confused.

- You know what?

I think that's the whole point.

One look at Babe Raider says everything.

It's sexist. It's degrading.

It creates impossible-to-live-up-to images

of women, and gives boys the idea that this misshapen

heroine is what girls are supposed to look like.

And it has the potential to turn boys into drooling pigs,

but... it just so happens that I love this game.

Yes, Babe Raiders clothes are too

tight and her chest is too big. But as a girl,

I found playing this game... empowering.

This game is about a strong, strategic woman

who defends herself and is victorious against her oppressors.

But why will guys only allow women to be powerful if they can ogle them too?

Maybe to guys this Babe Raider stuff is no big deal,

but to girls it's hurtful and confusing.

- Here, here.

- You said it, sister.

- Then I brought out this petition to send to the game companies.

It says "keep the games coming, keep the women powerful,

but to the guys that design these chicks? Get real!"

- How'd that go over?

- Signed by every girl in class.

- Ooh, I am so proud of you, Miss Casey.

That took a lot of guts.

- So, did any boys sign?

- What guy in his right mind would sign that thing?

- Don't tell Derek, uh, but I thought your speech was pretty cool.

And that Babe Raider outfit this morning...

Whew! - Sam, c'mon!

- What?

- Nothing.

- Casey loves Sammy.

- Big time.

- Women's Day Walk? Oh, I'm all over it!

I mean, if I can talk the talk. I can walk the woman's walk, right?

Great. See ya then.

- Dude! What are you doing?!!

- I'm getting in touch with my feminine side, Ed.

- What happened to the brother I know and fear?

- Relax, he's still here. Just underneath the facade.

Now, don't tell Nora, 'cause this is just between us guys, got it?

- Got it... But are you really going on the Women's Day Walk?

- Dude, a thousand chicks, and me? You do the math.

- Take me with you!

- Maybe when your voice drops.

There's a thousand chicks.
