"...A more empowered female audience wants to watch empowered women ([in movies]. Interestingly, men do, too.'These are strong, powerful, edgy, opinionated women,' says produver Beau Flynn. 'Guys find that sexy.' Adds [screenwriter Patrick Marber, who adapted 'Notes on a Scandal' for the big screen]: 'Men enjoy watching the active, protagonist women more than the passive weepers.' "
--WSJ Feb 23, 2007: "Women Acting Badly," Melissa Mar on why 'mature, flawed, and powerful women are at the center of this year's Oscsr race and next year's movies."
My observation: This is absolutely true. Not all men, or even most men; but many men find competence in women an attractive trait.
