What in the world do I need to exhale for?

Ok, I'm currently watching Waiting to Exhale, one of the black female anthem movies of all times. I couldn't help to ask myself, do some women really feel like they only begin to live when they get a man? If you hold your breath til a man comes, you will die; especially if you're waiting for the right man.
Girl, just breathe. Don't let a man disturb your natural flow of oxygen.
Overall, this movie is just silly to me. It really shows black people and relationships in a bad light. Not only is it male bashing it's women bashing too, both of them look like idiots. Even at the end, when the character played by Whitney Houston finally tells her man off, and the audience is suppose to cheer...cheer for what? She shouldn't have been with the married man in the first place. Also, the Lela Rochon's character finally tells her man off and says she doesn't need him in her life anymore, the one she's going to have the baby by, again, we're suppose to cheer, but in reality she should at least tell him to stick around for the child support and nothing else. The Wesley Snipes character is bad too. "But Tiffany, he didn't sleep with Angela, he just laid next to her" Whatever. He shouldn't have been in the same bed with her if he was a married man.
Now, I'll admit this movie is entertaining, but it's nothing to learn a lesson from. Women should not be preaching from this movie nor should they be saying Amen at the end credits.
