I believe that writer Chuck Klosterman once complained about John Cusack. Klosterman’s claim was that Cusack’s role in “Say Anything” set the standards too high for men and created high expectations for women.
I blame Tom Cruise’s character in “Jerry Maguire” for reinforcing the idea that women love to be treated like shit. In “Jerry McGuire,” Tom Cruise is in sports management and writes a sports manifesto about the dark side of the sports management business. He keeps two clients and has only one employee, Renee Zellwegger’s character.
