But I'm a Cheerleader1999

Megan:
I think it might be my parents.

Mary:
Okay, go with that.

Megan:
You know we've kinda been like this greeting card family. And then there was that one year where... well Dad was unemployed and Mom had to support us.

Megan's Dad:
Wait a minute, that was only for nine months. And then I was offered a much better job at the plant.

Megan:
Maybe seeing Mom kind of being the Dad, maybe l maybe I got the wrong idea about the roles of men and women.

Mary:
Absolutely. I can't believe that you didn't mention this earlier. Your father was emasculated, your mother was domineering.

Megan:
Well not exactly.

Mary:
You wanted to emulate your mother. You have no respect for men, because you don't respect your father.
