Explanation of Conservative Trope

Many conservatives believe men should be the primary breadwinner in families and that their careers take precedence. Hollywood gives into this false notion with many more occasions where women sacrifice their careers for men rather than the other way around.

Conservative Trope Examples

  • Ocean's Twelve (2004)
    Isabel Lahiri (Catherine Zeta Jones) is manipulated into committing a crime forcing her to flee and lose her career as a talented and successful Interpol investigator so that her thief father can see her again without being arrested and thief ex-husband, Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), can get back together with her. And in the final scene, you see she is indeed back with Rusty although she probably didn't have much choice between that or jail.
