Hello everybody,
I watched a movie today, and there is a sentence in it which I don't understand. So anybody would like to help me with that? Anyway, thank you first...
The heroin in the movie is badly hurt by her boyfirend and she's mad at him but she's still believed in love. Then her roommate a tough girl who has an awful marriage and has divorced wants to help her. This tough girl has aready given up for men, and sometimes she even tends to like girls. This is the background of the movie, then here is the conversation between them which I wanna ask about.
The girl said: I don't think it's in me to be this bitter, male-bashing person like that lawer, or you.
Her roommate: I like man. Not the ones I've met. You'll be much happier once you accept that all the remantic notions you've had your entire life are crap. And the gender you were counting on to create your bliss is really just hot to get you in bed and move on.
The girl said: Your divorce is the most depressing thing that's ever happened to me.
I've no idea about the sentence in red. Especially what does "gender" here mean? Gender doesn't refer to male or female specifically, right? So what does she exactly mean? By the way, this movie is a kinda comic. Looking forward to your answers.........
