Just One Of Those Guys is a teen movie just like She's The Man. It is similar to She's The Man, as there is cross dressing involved in it, the female in Just One Of Those Guys is set out to prove a point; just like Viola in She's The Man. I felt this would be a good historical text to refer back to as it shows how even in the 8O's the same view was held as it is in contempory film. For example, women dressing up as men to get their point across, represents a partiarchal society as men's voices are more dominant within society. However, at the end the women do triumph as they are socially accepted and their point that they are trying to prove gets put across.

In addition to this, Feminism being brought forward in the 70's onwards helps represent how changes for women were coming forward. The different waves of Feminism gave new rights to women, thus being represented in film. As females gained the same status as men in films, even if it was towards the end of the film.
