Which is why the best romantic comedies are always done in a fair and objective way and dosen't take sides in the gender roles. Annie Hall, Moonstruck, It Happened One Night, Philadelphia Story, As Good as it Gets and When Harry Met Sally are excellent romantic comedies because they give an honest portrayal of relationships. And romantic comedies only work when both characters are funny and interesting, that's a fact.
Today romantic comedies are all about this "Men are pigs but keep waiting for that prince charming" BS. They're marketed strictly for women when a good romantic comedy should be enjoyed by anyone that's ever fallen in love or has been in a relationship.
