"Shame on you! Macho SHITHEAD!!!"
Just love him. He's SO gorgeous! This is my all time favorite film because it makes you laugh, makes you think, and it addresses real issues that we all can relate to.
I like the point he was trying to make here because he was addressing more of a real issue during those changing times. It seems like when people are trying to make the same kind of point today, even speaking as a woman I think they are talking out of their ass and just trying to control people. It always seems like those kinds of people are trying to say that men today are not different than men were back in the 50s and 60s and that's just not true. Teenage boys that are becoming men in this day and age have been discouraged from doing the things that boys do so that most of them don't even know how to become men! I'm sick of it. I've hated it when a man becomes a womanizer, but I also hate it when a woman becomes a man hating bitch who's only goal in life is to (if you'll excuse my saying so) practically castrate a man and treat them like less of a person. We don't need to do that. We have to see each other as equals on both sides.
One of my fave as well....I was 5 when this came out....
me too
Dr: “I never laid a hand on her.”
Dorothy: “ OH YES YOU DID!” 😂
One of my all-time favorite movies. Just watched it again last night.
What a great read! Hoffman's such a brilliant actor.
“That is one...nutty...hospital”. Haha!
it's not about gender bending. it's a story of triumph and love.
Great movie! That kind of "reveal" at the end would be ratings GOLD for a network!! (And today it would go viral instantly).
This movie is surprisingly ahead of it’s time with such a comedic premise, great, subtle but strong message without being preachy.
Pity it doesn't have the scene in his agent's office:
"YOU WERE A TOMATO! A Tomato doesn't have logic! A Tomato can't move!"
You can find that clip if you look up the trailer of the movie. I guess it's not in this video because it didn't have to do with the subject of gender equality.
~:~
The focus of this video is on gender and equality as themes in the movie ...
Probably the 1st time Murray proved he made a great dramatic actor, even better than a comic one.
..God, here come the terms!....lmao!
one of my favorite films so many funny scenes x
I have fallen for this women I must say this.... She is not bossy, or arrogant or loud she is just what she is.❤️❤️...if one can see her without any of their judgemental specs on.
the yellow outfit was the HALSTON no you will ruin it lol
funniest flippin movie of all time lol.
After watching this film and now I'm starting to watch _Mad Men,_ I was appalled to see how men treated women back then in the workplace. So this _Tootsie guy_ had put himself literally in women's shoes in order to see how women were treated in the workplace.
Actually, he dressed up as a woman to get a job. Not to make a statement or to find out how the other side lives. Its, along the way, that he came to understand the inequality of being a women in showbiz. As well as the rest of the everyday world. There's other scenes in the movie that show this, without words. I've always loved this movie; but I have had one issues, as a women, that it took a man to make ppl see how unfair things are for women in the workplace.
More men need to experience a day in the life of a woman.
How did he ever learn to walk in high heels?????
+Hairy Neck lol it takes a lot of practice and you have to have strong ankles.
Inga Turner I'll keep practising then. Ha ha
Hairy Neck Supposedly Meryl Streep coached him on how to do Dorothy's voice & they had a transvestite help him learn how to act like a man impersonating a woman. I'll bet one or both of them taught him how to walk in heels!
Hairy Neck that's what I want to know too😂
tommyt1971 I’m surprised by this fact I thought Streep hated Hoffman due to what happened on Kramer vs Kramer.
SO ahead if it's time. Quite brilliant! Love Victor Victoria for the same reason. Same scenario in reverse. Bending when you Have to!
Interesting how the female character looks considerably older than 44 years old, which is how old Dustin Hoffman was at the time of filming. Hoffman himself looked around that age when he wasn't in make-up.
That is one nutty hospital.
The bluster suits to him😍😂
great montage
gosh, Jessica Lange was so different back then. Seemed so mellow.... Now, she's a crazy and loud lady in the American Horror Story series.
stfu u weirdo
Watch "Sweet Dreams" or "Blue Sky"
Shes loud and crazy. Jessica has always been Jessica.
She's a Actor, therefore she is acting. She is A Legend
Amazing.....
"the best part of my manhood" :)
Ever see 9 to 5? He was even a good sport in that flick!
so this is where Family Guy took that scene from....
Yeah
3:06 LOL!!
Most people will just remember him being funny in Ghostbusters or as the lounge lizard on SNL. It's a shame, he's like Robin Williams, much better as Sean McGuire than he was in (shiver) Hook.
Deos Geoff know?
you have all the right ehre, i usually dont like him but here and in some of the anderson films made a nice job as an underrated dramatic character
How they can make his voice so high like in Mrs doubtfire or Tootsie
Geena Davis was so unbelievably hot in this movie...
I really fine a very sexist ambient in this movie but it really shows that there´s a wish to see more women with a personality as the one that dorothy has. I mean she is a real fighter in a macho world which is really protrayed by the producer of the series here but we can´t hide that she is a he but a he who really took his work seriously and with his way to be, seduces and at the end of the movie you are going to wish that a dorothy michaels really exist
I 'll be damned !
And I never really thought he was *that* funny in Ghostbusters...
Was this a midterm report for high school? English class, Human Development or Art class? Or have they made up some new classes? Just curious.
really wonderful Dustin Hoffman, excuse me, Dorothy Michaels
Tommy1971....Ghostbusters?
love Dorothy

How exactly is it men's turn to fight for equality? Men have always had it, so sharing the pie won't lead to losing it.
That's a naive comment. Women have had more rights than men for decades. In the divorce courts, the criminal justice system, domestic violence refuges, managerial courses, quotas, promotional schemes, in the UK they have women only parking spaces, preferential treatment left and right, women only leisure centre sessions, library sessions, education courses, women only Parliamentary short lists banning men from being allowed to compete altogether. I hope you get divorced one day if you are a man and get cleaned out, then you'll see just how much of the bloody pie you'll be left with.
Cry me a river.
outinsider So you can't construct a contradictory reply. I drink single childless women's tears.
Men's rights activists= socially privileged, thin-skinned whiners.
Born Rebel
Also, based on your sexism, I can see why you have never been married.
Looking at it now, it’s really aged and I just never bought the whole premise
Not correct. This scene occurs BEFORE the Dustin Hoffman character gets the job; not after.
if only it was a true story
3:02😂😳😻whoa oha
This movie anticipated the politically correct times we live in...
i knew why this is why she dislikes me LOL
Yes. Women get better positions.
It's just a movie.
What's idiotic about power making a woman masculine?
this title is cancer
'Tootsie' was the most anti-feminist film ever. A man pretending to be a woman was still better at everything that women do, than women.
Doesn't power make a woman masculine?
+Ester Samuels - How? Power just IS, it isn't necessarily a male or female attribute.
ohillari If a woman has power she sort of "feels" masculine. Power is masculine, not feminine.
+Ester Samuels was Cleopatra more masculine than all the men she slept with?
***** That might be an example of a very feminine women with a lot of power.
Shame on you! You too Miss Marshall! You MACHO SHITHEAD!! ( slams script down )
