Homosexuality In Megan And Jenna Hunterson
The two films were entertaining to watch because one of the main character, Megan (Natasha Lyonne), plays around with her sexuality with having a boyfriend and picturing girls boobs and butt. Yet, on the other hand, Jenna Hunterson (Keri Russell) plays around with the men she has in her life. Yet, both of these films show the sexuality of both of these women due to showing Megan’s affection for Graham and Jenna’s decision of not wanting to be with men. In other words, both of them are lesbian and wanting other people to know that they are straight but in their hearts, they know they are lesbian. However, we saw these films for the main characters personality were somewhat opposite of the expected tough, violent, and submissive stereotypes. Yet, in ideology, both of these films show the feminist side of both of these characters of the representation dilemma and the

queer theory in showing the gay relationships in both of these films. However, in these films we question the understanding of gender and the impediment that safeguard from the credence that a gender double occur and comprehends all people. If sexuality is despairingly linked to gender, it is also linked to the roles and performances assigned to the genders, which is how one comes to the boy or girl and the top or bottom in the situation, that clearly based on assigned masculine and feminine roles. Yet, for both the main characters, the question is, whom are they trying to fool? Because their fake relationships towards the men are not real, because the real people they want are women. The main character in Waitress, Jenna has endured the pain afflicted upon her from her current husband but her only happiness she encounters in her life are her waitress buddies Becky (Cheryl Hines) and Dawn (Adrienne Shelly). While she is with her friends, they are always talking about relationships of their own lives or talking about Becky’s lump sided boobs that are hanging from her cheat. This chat over the boobs is part of the queer theory because the main character has a thick and wispy voice and the audience makes a connection with her voice, the talk about Becky’s boobs, and not being with any men that she could be a queer. The feminist stereotype of representation dilemma in this film is when the violent husband Earl (Jeremey Sisto) wants Jenna to prepare dinner for him and do as he says to her and this female oppression towards the female figure to do anything women does in the house. Jenna’s gender and role throughout the film shows how feminist she gets when she is with the men but when she is alone she turns into a man. Another representation dilemma in the film is Earl’s power of one’s typical domestic explosion when he approaches every place with a car horn.
Even the small details on in the film shows the principle of the characters of the discreet humanity from Dr. Pomatter’s disorganized office, Becky’s preoccupation of getting her breast straight, Old Joe’s fascination over the information of his future of the day, and Ogie’s poetry. With all this humanity comes another dilemma of Jenna having an affair with Dr. Pomatter (Nathan Fillion), who tells Jenna that as a boy he once fell in love with a waiter and that waiter remembers him of Jenna. Yet, their relationship reaches a high point when he sees Jenna at a vulnerable part and when Jenna teaching Dr. Pomatter how to back a pie, this imagine is for the audience to who don’t really analysis the film but for others the pie making reference for sex but that is the further that Jenna gets with Dr. Pomatter. The role and performance by this two characters show the affair but when it comes towards the end Jenna does not want Dr. Pomatter or Earl just the baby
girl. Now we look at the film But I’m A Cheerleader, which deals with homo/heterosexuality all of the characters with the program of True Direction but the main character, Megan, overstated feminist is shocked when she was told that she is a lesbian. On the other hand, the audience witness Jan (Katrine Phillips) as a big lesbian and changing her appearance into a man but she leaves when she realizes she love men but she fooled everyone included herself. However, based on the Hays Code or Motion Picture Production Code, there were not to be scenes where homosexuality was shown. However in 1999 this film changed all aspects by having Megan have sex with Graham. The ideology of the queer theory in this film is every girl and every boy for example the relationship between Dolph and Clayton when they are having sex in the dark room and Dolph is on top on Clayton is at the bottom when they are having sex. There is also when Dolph is a masculine male by playing football and acting tough, therefore, he is the man in the relationship and Clayton is the female in the relationship because he has a soft voice and crosses his legs like a girl when he is sitting down. There is also the relationship between Graham and Megan when they are having sex Graham is on top and Megan is on the bottom. There is also their voices because Graham has a masculine look to her when she is smoking and her deep voice and Megan has a soft voice, female figure, and always were pink. This ideology of the queer theory examples how their relationship are linked to the gender and their sexuality of whom they choose to love. The representation dilemma in the film is the action and the passive feminine character type of the girls by doing women work by cleaning the floors and washing dishes inside the house. Where else the boys are outside playing football or fixing a car, making them seem like men by doing manly actions and wearing blue. These actions of making them do their roles in society are turning them in True Direction. Both Graham and Megan demonstrate a performance of self-discovery of the homo/heterosexual characters to the dilemma in the world today society. However, once Graham and Megan discover themselves nobody in society can change of how they are in society. Therefore, in our ideology of queer theory and feminist in both of these films shows the self-discover of being lesbian. Megan and Jenna both have a self-discover of wanting to be love with women instead of finding happiness with men. Also, the representation dilemma in both of the films is feminist side and wanting to be a women figure to cook and clean the house. Yet, both of the female main characters create a performance for the audience to understand the gender and the disorder that maintain the belief that a gender male and female occur and all relationships from society.
