This movie gives a very realistic look at the kind of sexism that still goes on today. People don't think of sexism as discrimination but it is. Harris and Gilbert portray two smart and successful cops who are the envy of the males. The male cops cover up their own jealousy and insecurity by saying that women shouldn't be on the force because they're not strong enough. The women go through verbal,physical, and mental abuse and receive no help from their superiors. The men cover up for each other and the only woman Sargent has the nerve to say that Harris and Gilbert aren't strong enough either. She doesn't realize that she's just being used by the men to cover-up their bad behavior. This shows that not even women will stick by other women just because their in a place of authority and don't want to lose that "respect". That women Sargent failed to realize that the men didn't really respect her. She was a sell out and did she really think those women haters respected her? The only problem with this movie is that it could have given a more in depth portrayal of the kind of emotional effect it had on the women. Those men were ruthless and brutal and out for revenge. Thankfully Harris and Gilbert won their lawsuit but then we read on that the real women have not yet received any money.It's amazing how far women have have come and far women have regressed because men still want to be oppressive.
