more belated slippery slope

i agree with alice about 'slippery slope' - i enjoyed it, i laughed, and in the end i would recommend it and maybe watch it again. however,  i also didn't see the real message. it ended up making me feel mockery toward the main character's feminism, which may have been somewhat purposeful, i mean, an equality time clock?! at the same time, she validated the porn industry somewhat, but i don't think i was ever quite so uptight about the idea of sex work, and that there are people who do it, as the main character, so i suppose some of the revelation was lost on me and felt purely humourous. so in the end, as a fun comedy, i thought it was good, but as far as the exposure and discussion of feminist/gender themes, it wasn't all that new, and it was definitely hard to take any serious message out of all the humour.
