"Having had that experience... I think, what modern culture wants to see is the relationship with the woman. I don't think you can tell a story on film nowadays where the woman simply is there for the man when he decides to settle down"

- Tom Selleck

About this Quote

This quote by Tom Selleck speaks to the changing landscape of modern culture and its expectations of relationships in between males and females. He is suggesting that in today's culture, it is no longer appropriate to represent a woman as just being there for a male when he decides to settle. Rather, modern culture wants to see a relationship in between the male and the lady, one that is based upon mutual respect and understanding. This is a far cry from the conventional view of a lady being a passive partner in a relationship, waiting for the man to make the decisions. Selleck's quote speaks to the value of producing relationships that are based upon equality and understanding, rather than one-sided power characteristics. It is a suggestion that relationships should be based on mutual regard and understanding, instead of a single person having all the power.
