That's exactly what the novel (at least) was intended to be--a putdown of anti-female attitudes by exaggerating them for satirical purposes. That's also what writer Charles Beaumont intended with QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE. Here's the Wikipedia page on Richard Wilson, who wrote The Girls from Planet 5: Richard Wilson (author) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


If that's what Wilson intended in the novel, the screenwriter sure didn't understand it! Granted, the men are depicted as stereotypes as well, but there's no hint in the screenplay that any of this is supposed to be a satire on "anti-female attitudes." It just reads like a bad farce in which any woman who asserts herself is a wicked old battle-axe out to destroy the male ego. Any irony intended has been lost in translation.
