Quote #10
TED: My wife used to always say to me, "Why can't a woman have the same ambitions as a man?" I think you're right, and maybe I've learned that much, but by the same token, I'd like to know what law is it that says that a woman is a better parent simply by virtue of her sex.
No law, Ted. Ted's speech may not resonate with the judge, who grants custody to Joanna, but it presents the central question of the movie, as well as an interesting critique of gender roles and expectations in 1979.
