Ms. Ochs explains that there are also privileges that come with being in heterosexual relationships, such as non-discrimination in one's job, non-designated gender roles, and being seen as an equal to one's partner. Once society is able to learn to escape such expectations, it is able to accept that a woman's sexuality is ultimately her choice and allows women to have a positive view of themselves. Frida's story also raises important questions regarding the inequality that society creates when it comes to women as sexual beings. Men, like Frida's husband Diego, remain respected despite his immodest behavior in public. Any woman around such a man is often seen as a fool and someone who is incapable of handling these types of men. Ochs addresses this issue by arguing that society tells women that they should be surrounded by men who exhibit “good” qualities, or who are husband material because sooner or later the woman will need to settle down with a suitable partner to reproduce. No woman is able to tame a man who decides to live such a reckless lifestyle nor is it acceptable to be understanding of that lifestyle as Frida was with Diego. And if the woman manages to tame the man, they lose a part of themselves and live a very miserable life until they die. Frida's story in the film ends in a way that presents the audience with the conclusion that because she lived such a reckless lifestyle, and not the one society designed for her, she lived a short and painful life.
