Sexism in "A Funny Thing..."

The movie "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" has aspects that are very sexist. Women are portrayed either as sex symbols or as a controlling wife. There are also songs that are sexist as well. The song that Philia sings is extremely sexist. She talks about how all she is good for is being pretty. The other song, about house maids, is sexist as well. It explains that every house should have a woman in it who are loyal "servants" to men. While there are many sexist scenes in "A Funny Thing...", it is OK because the movie knows that it is being sexist and it makes fun of itself for it. The audience should not take it seriously and instead should see the movie as showing us how absurd sexism is through these outlandish scenes. I think sexism is still an issue today and something that our society needs to continue to work on. For example, One of the most important things that needs to change is the ratio between men and women in elected offices, i.e.  Congress.
