primary reseacr= is the pleasure for women audience members in rom coms all about transforming masculinity from something hard to something soft and gentle? find some clips that illustrate that and get women to talk about them, specific questions? who? context?
are the representations of women themselves in rom coms negative in any way, e.g women dependant on men, illogical etc etc, what do tou think of this woman? do you admire?
transformation of masculinity- Radway's ideas, men in their lives are uncaring, and women do not receive the love they need, women do not receive satisfactory caring. interviews on readers= women older than my t.a and married, may find different for my age group.
